People don't understand that awful absolute exhaustion you get with ME/CFS. It is hard to explain what it feels like. This week I had to over exert myself (by my standards anyway) With the help of my wonderful Mum, we took my little boy for his second (this time sleep-deprived) EEG. We had to keep him up late, and get him up earlier than usual and leave early in the morning for his appointment. Just that little bit of exertion has wiped me out for the whole week. I have had to neglect the housework, and rest as much as I can. So if anyone ever wonders why I am grumpy, and exhausted, this is my life. The tiniest exertion. Something small. Means the absolute exhaustion, and agonising pain is here for the duration. Keeping going until tomorrow at least, where the children will go to their dads overnight, and I will sleep.....
