This constant exhaustion feels like whatever I had two summers ago...sleeping a lot, difficulty staying awake during the day. I can't think of anything that's changed lately-this has only started in the last two or three weeks (I think it started after the nasty sinus infection.) I am overtaken with this unbearable desire to take a nap right after lunch, too. My appetite is weird-it disappeared for a while, now it's sorta back. I would chalk it up to stress, but well, that shot up around mid-February, hasn't come back down since, and likely won't any time soon-and this didn't happen til now. It just doesn't make sense, since I've been going to bed early, and such.

Tired and in pain much of the time-wrists, and shoulders.

We're heading to my parents this weekend. This should be interesting.

If anyone can take one cat from me for a day-May 11, (meet me at work around 8:30 AM, or if you're nearby, I'll deliver cat to you) and arrange for me to either pick cat up, or to return cat to me later that day, let me know. I'll explain why some other time.

Informal polling indicates that perhaps birthdayfoo should not take place Memorial Day weekend. I'm trying to think of another day that might work for that. Possibly the first week in June, (Monday or Tuesday, maybe) because I'll only be working one night a week at that point, I think.

I so totally want to go home, let the cats out of confinement (exterminator came today, and they had to be locked in the bedroom,) talk to zedrikcayne and maybe nap a bit.

I hope you feel better really soon!

I'll take a long cat-nap for you today and send you all the restful healing vibes. (:

Honey, you may want to get checked out by a doc. The fatigue and pain sound like they could be something else. And I worry about you.

*huge hugs*

Seconded. Especially since the pain aspect has apparently surfaced (or were you dealing with that before)?

Near me there's a group that calls themselves "Chronic Disease Specialists." They're for real, both alternative and medical approaches. I wish you could get here and see them! What they're doing/suggesting is starting to help me slowly but surely. It's a bit far from DC and a bit far from NYC as well...but it's a thought. Even for an initial evaluation!

This feels a lot like what I went through a couple of summers ago-intense fatigue, and lots of ache and pain. Plus no/weird appetite. They tested me for everything from mono to syphilis to HIV to toxoplasmosis, to RA to thyroid stuff, and came up with nothing. And I finally got fed up with doctors visits telling me nothing. The pain/fatigue got better for a while, but didn't quite go away, and I kind of learned to live with it. It's just gotten bad again. If I trusted my HMO more, I'd go back and try to deal with it, but I don't. I hit dead ends and brick walls last time, and have no patience this time for it. I'm hoping it'll get better-at least back to where it was when it was bearable. If it doesn't, then maybe when I move, I'll see what's next.

I'll be landing in NJ sometime within the next 4-5 months, depending on what happens job-wise. I meet with someone from Hyacinth on Monday. Cross your fingers, wish me luck, etc.

Thanks.
