Hello all.
Well today I officially got diagnosed. I feel relief knowing it's not cancer or MS or ALS. But I'm sad too because this pain and weakness depresses me so much. I used to be a Paramedic and also worked in the emergency dept. Now? I literally sit in my recliner all day. When I cook, I...

I am currently having major problems with my job. I am going through the worst pain I have ever felt. I am constantly exhausted and have no energy. I feel like my job is doing nothing but making me worse. I can not afford to quit or start over somewhere new, but sometimes I feel like I can't...
It's been a bad day today. I'm aching all over and exhausted. My daughter says Mom you are boring,you didn't used to be this way. My daughter doesn't understand how my life has changed with this condition. I would like to get a better understanding about this condition.
