Hi @rinadbq. I may have shared before but thank you for sharing from a medical professional standpoint your journey. I had really tough symptom day yesterday and literally crying this am while I should be grateful slept thru night and woke feeling decent. Tears from this unpredictable excruciating journey of no rhyme/reason, havnt worked in over year with no income, previously very active and helped other family members and now I have to pace taking shower or phone call for whole days activity. Your sharing is giving me drive to keep pushing forward. Thank you for all you did do and helping all of us now💖

We are in this together; takes one to know one. When one day at a time is just too much to think about, I break it down to just the next hour, and then the next, and then the next. I showered and did my hair today, throwing a bunch of veggies in the oven so I don't have to cook for the next 3 days (did meat yesterday), am returning one phone call and e-mail. Yep, going on 1pm and my day will be done. I applied & just got early retirement for Social Security so there's income to cover insurance. I haven't worked since November 2020.
