I finally got Craig back to school and back on his feet, and on Thursday I felt really good for the first time in two weeks. Then, last night, I kept waking up with my throat so sore it felt like I had swallowed barbed wire. I finally got up at 6 am to take some ibuprofen for the pain, but I couldn't even swallow water. I ate a spoonful of honey, took the pills, and went back to bed until 10 am (unheard of for me!)
I don't know where this one came from, but I feel achy all over and have this awful sore throat. This isn't my usual CFS sore throat (which I haven't had much anyway since starting naltrexone); my glands are swollen hugely. I guess it's another infectious trigger - my older son and best friend are both feeling poorly, too.
Well, nothing to do but rest and wait.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
