"Because my husband has SURVIVED Hodgkins Lymphoma" (SweetTink11)

MDJunction to me

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

I'm having a true blue flare up. I came back to my apartment after watching my niece and nephew at my parents home. My parents have a big house with a huge fenced in yard so I always go there to watchthem. Once home I shook all of my rugs out and vacuumed the whole place. I have two kitties and they make such a mess :) . After that I turned on the TV, laid down on the sofa, and passed out. I have a feeling that the fatigue has set in and I'm going to get that kind of drunken/overly tired feeling, feeling loopy when I get up and try to walk anywhere. I hate that feeling. My pain is going up too. I did too much this last week and I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night in a very long time and naps only take me so far. I guess I'm due.

So sorry to hear this Steff. I will pray for you that it is a short flare and that you are feeling better very quickly.
I hope you had fun babysitting smilies/grin.gif

, at least that would make this flare somewhat worth it, if you could ever say that!

Hi Steff, Your diary post was over on the left of my screen so could not help but notice it, did you put it there, hee hee! Anyway, I am so sorry about the flare. I hate that horrible tired feeling too, and I have it now every morning trying to get out of bed... It will be much better in a day or two as you know, but you look like you were a very active person pre fibro, and it is frustrating when you cant do more than shake out rugs, and clean house, and then you are exhausted. I hate that, hugs, Carla
