The Little Engine That Couldn't

I think I can
I think I can
I think I can
Well maybe not

I've crashed again.  A bad one.  It started yesterday.  I was tired but I expected to be after my exciting weekend.  I had a friend over, I cooked several meals, I went out on a date.  Not a bit surprise that I was tired.  Today I was worse.  I thought I was okay when I woke up.  I had slept for 12 hours I should be okay.  I took a shower since I stank.  I hadn't managed one since Saturday night when I was prepping for my date.  The shower sucked the last of the energy out of me.  Instead of going grocery shopping like I wanted to do I was lying down on the couch because I couldn't even sit anymore.  If I got up I was dizzy and wozzy.  I lost my words again.  I couldn't complete sentences.  Now ten hours later at least I'm sitting up and able to type.   I'm not quite as dizzy when I stand up.  I thought my crashes like this were B12 related.   I've been feeling so good since I've been taking it that I thought I wouldn't have such a severe crash again.  This bums me out to no end.  Just when I thought I figured something out.  Just when I dared to think I was getting a little better.  This happens.  This sucks.

  1. I hear you. I feel like I could've written at least the first half of this post about myself. I hope you start feeling a bit better soon. Blessings.

  2. So sorry you've crashed. Was the weekend worth it? A friend with a teen daughter with CFS refers to "worthy crashes," those where the fun was worth the crash!

    Just rest and take care of yourself and soon you'll be doing better again.

    Next time the wooziness and dizziness hit, try lots of salt and fluids to combat OI. A big V-8 juice does the trick for me, and my boys drink Gatorade every day.

    Feel better soon!

  3. Sue you always have such great advice. I really appreciate it. Funnily enough I did eat a lot of salty food yesterday. My body seemed to crave it. I'm doing better today. Still pooped but not dizzy and not moving like yesterday. I'm still sitting a lot today. I'll have to try the Gatoraid trick. I've found that it used to help me when I was ice skating a lot. The date was totally worth it. Some of the other stuff I wish I could have skipped.

    Alway good to hear from you Jamie. I appreciate your thoughts and good wishes.
