Thanks for the info Barb. About how I'm feeling, I wrote this yesterday to try and explain.


It’s Not Easy Being Me

I’ve felt dazed and confused for most of my life.
It’s hard to explain, so I seldom try.
I limit my friends because they don’t understand.

Those that don’t know, can’t know.

I use the word fatigue but that barely covers it.
It’s suffocating in a desperate way.
Some days are worse than others, but rarely good.

It’s a struggle to exist in my world.

Vitamins are candy, sleeping pills a joke.
Try to explain that you sleep hooked up to a machine.

Those that don’t know, can’t know.

I want to feel better, so I don’t give up.
Options are few and success is fleeting.
I still try because I believe there’s hope.
I cling to ones that try to understand.

Those that don’t know, can’t know.

My behavior is erratic with the ups and downs.
Every so often a good day just happens.
I look forward to the next one with great appreciation.
When those days come I know what life feels like.

I want more days like those.
I want life, I choose hope.
Never give up, never surrender.
I have accepted the fact.

It’s not easy being me.
