It is beautiful. How did you know that you were writing about me when I am sure that you weren't. Thank you. Last night I celebrated an anniversary and I have to tell you people said some really nice things about me. Yet they all had a common theme of telling me that I sure look great and I make being sick look easy. Not very nice. Thank you so much for journaling this. It is very much appreciated by me.

Everything depended on it. I always thought myself fortunate not to experience pain but rather numbness, which was not a good thing to feel because it felt like the end, so my thought was to retreat, retreat, just give me back the weakness. Hallucinations while awake were another frightening symptom because they seemed to go with changes in the brain and signs of slowing way down, so it was retreat reatreat get away from hallucinations! No good sign. My sister Margie says it is hard to get people to ralize what her chronic back pain is like, pain that goes down her leg from either that or a stroke. How wearing it is. I can imagine. I have inflammation that hurts at night, but seems so less involved than rheumatoid arthritis, or MS. or fibromyalgia. Anyway, this article provokes a lot of thought.

When a person has kidney failure or infection, it makes them fatigued. I'm getting treatment for narcolepsy but I still get fatigued and have to take a nap. My SIL who is a bitch (Thank God my brother is divorcing her) doesn't even know all my health problems and has accused me of making them up. She says "my pain is all in my head". Everything I have has been diagnosed thru tests or surgery except for my migraines. It just pisses me off that just because you can't see a person's condition or pain, doesn't mean they don't have it.
