Chronic Epstein Barr Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, GERD, and more... OH MY!

Hi Allison,

You have come to a good place. And welcome... Coping with chronic illnesses is hard. But it can be done. The basic thing to do is take life one day at a time. I am sure as you know with the chonic fatigue, you never know how you are going to feel from one day to the next. Well, the best thing to do is take it as it comes.

Our administrator, Peter Waite, has a blogspot that talks about this. You might want to check that out. I believe at the top of the page in a blue square there is a place to click. Reading here helps too, and we have a wonderful chronic fatigue forum. Have you been checked out for fibromyalgia? I have that, and I get a lot of fatigue with that. I take adderall for the fatigue. It helps a lot. So there may be some meds out there that you haven't tried.

I hope that you feel better soon. It is possible to cope with chronic illnesses. Keep trying. I hope that your day is good...

Hugs, Karen...

Thank you so much for your answers and advice, Jamie and Karen! It really is just nice to know there are other people out there who get it. That is definitely the hardest part for me- not really knowing anyone to talk to. But I'm working on that! This website has made finding people quite easy. :)
