My husband was my boyfriend when I first started showing the symptoms of CFS. He was there when I tried to fight it and ended up bedridden for days, he was there to take me to the bathroom at the middle of the night when I couldn't walk, and to feed me when I couldn't lift the spoon to my mouth.<BR/><BR/>When we decided to get married, I asked him whether he would be able to life with the CFS since it would affect his life as much as it would affect mine. He just looked at me and said if the choice was living with me and CFS, or living without me then there was no choice a all.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I've done to deserve such love, but I sure am grateful for it.Ms.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17793262399677752408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700350244540803490.post-27694434088107507292009-01-21T15:27:00.000-08:002009-01-21T15:27:00.000-08:00Shelli - That's wonderful news!

Also, I think you have just passed an important milestone in putting your life back together, post-CFS. It's a very hard lesson to learn, but once you accept that - for now - you have to live with CFS instead of waiting to get well, you can get on with your life. It may not be the same as your "old" life, but you can find a new normal for you and your family that's happy and enriching. And CFS just gets worse and worse when you fight against it. That's why I titled my blog Living with CFS...I meant really living, not just waiting to get well. It doesn't mean I've given up on the belief that I might someday be well again, just that I won't put my life on hold in the meantime.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you have to live with CFS for now, but I'm glad you've got the support you need to start building a new normal. What a great start to a new year!<BR/><BR/>SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700350244540803490.post-27376678952488146052009-01-21T13:41:00.000-08:002009-01-21T13:41:00.000-08:00How wonderful for you!

I have been living with a chronic illness that also leave me 'pooped' after the slightest task, zoned out by mid-morning and short tempered more often than I'd care to admit. My husband is very supportive as well. My 8 yr old understands much better than my 17 yr old. She is in that, 'oh other people exist?' time of life.<BR/>I commend you on the amount of children you have, as I know how hard it is with 2. I just pray for strength and the help of Heavenly Father, each day. And somehow I survive. Bless you...<BR/>By the way I saw your post on Mormon Moms Who Blog.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000267777835854780noreply@blogger.com
