I got up to send my son off to school @ 6:30 am......He is a senor in highschool now,,,,,,,,he is a big boy. He really can do it on his own...........but I am a mom and he is the last in the nest. Lunch,money et. al and he is on his way. I fully intended to get an early start on the day. The thought of the day ahead made me tired. I went back to bed. I slept till noon and would have probably slept longer.............but it just felt bad. What if a neighbor came to the door and I was still in my pjs.. Maybe I should sleep in my clothes.
I am not totally dysfunctional............. I wash clothes cook dinner shop for food sweep the floors............. But today , I looked around and the house, it needs a good cleaning. Sigh.............so much to do and so little energy. My husband works out of town four days a week if not more.............so I am on my own.
I am taking all meds as ordered.
I am now trying Gluten free, Day four.
I am tired of being sick and sick of being tired
What else can I do?
Sorry for the rant.
Tierd of being sick............sick of being tired

I totally understand Cami how you feel. No kids at my home but luckily hubby is retired and does all of the cleaning, shopping, etc. For that I am really thankful since when I get home after a 10-hour workday I am just shot.
It will get better and with the GF diet you should gain more energy.
Good luck and hang in there.
Love, Maggie

Camie,
I agree, I think once you are totally gluten free you will see a big difference. I held out on the gluten till the last minute telling myself it couldn't possibly be that. Then a post from Tex put me on the right tract. He was right. After 14 months and some significant healing things are better.

Re: Tierd of being sick............sick of being tired
Camie-I'm so sorry you're feeling so badly. I can't imagine having this disease and trying to take c/of children still @ home. I know w/me and animal chores, I had to let go of several things (We built a run in shed for my 2 horses so that I didn't have to clean stalls) and DH has been so understanding. Keep going hun, as it will get better!Camie wrote:I got up to send my son off to school @ 6:30 am......He is a senor in highschool now,,,,,,,,he is a big boy.

Hi Camie,
I too, like most people on this board, are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Every single day I make a very optimistic list of things to get done that day with 100% pure intentions of crossing them all off the list. Unfortunately, getting dressed some days is not even possible and I find myself wondering if "housecoats" would ever come back in fashion---ughhh! Seriously, why bother with all the fuss if you don't HAVE to leave the house somedays???? Just keeping my laundry going during bouts of EX-D is somtimes all I care about besides a clean home.
When I first moved in to this new neighborhood five years ago, I did care about what the neighbors thought and didn't want to seem odd in any way...Now, after being a shut-in with the MC, I could care less about letting my dogs out in my jambs, or getting the mail, talking to the UPS guy (haha), and while I am newly diagnosed and have learned from this site that recovery is a slower process, I am okay with housejambs for attire on my bad days and I know it won't always be like this.
Now that my daughter is away in college and I am going through a separation I know that staying GF and minding all the great information on this board is truly my best hope for ever leaving my home and becoming independent again. Being married for 20 years, I know I have to get my health back First, above all else.
Know you are in the right place here!
Wishing you well,
Pam
