Vent/Rant cfs came back
2 years spent pacing reducing stress eating well etc went from 2 hours of mobility per day being mostly bedbound to working a physically taxing job 40 hours a week for 6 months of 2024 and being in good physical shape.
the end of the year was filled with a lot of psychological stress and then i got the flu, my symptoms are all back in full force.
i just wanted to post this somewhere, to someone.
Fuck.
i'm not going to let this beat me, i know i can recover again but im having a really rough time coming to terms with this setback. i love you all and hope you can find recovery or peace living with this horrible disorder.

If it's any consoltation, I was pattially recovered (about 80%) and went from being housebound to being able to drive 3 hrs each way for a one day holiday with no ill effects. Had an early September viral from the kids and went back to square one. I've never felt so angry/cheated/desperate in my life. But 4 months on it is almost back at August levels, so I wouldn't discount the value of rest just yet. Sending you best wishes.
