September 3rd marked Ncubator’s 4 month milestone. And then I had a crash.
We chronics use this word to indicate an ugly relapse into old symptoms, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks … to months … to years … depending on the crash.
You never know till you come out of one, what severity or length of recovery time you’re looking at.
I guess I would term this one a bounce, rather than a crash. Symptoms will lift considerably for awhile, say a few hours, and then descend to crush once again.
The upswings are lasting longer. I have cut way back on activity for now, even my beloved writing.
Live to rise up another day.
so sorry to hear you were not feeling your best. please let me know how your progression goes. i am desperately trying to plan to go to washington. i love cort’s forum but it is so hard to keep up with when the brain fog hits. hope you get better soon.

Really nice posts. I will be checking back here regularly.
Margaret,
Thanks for your well wishes. I am doing much better now than I was.
I hope your plans for Washington worked out.
I agree, Cort’s forums are great. Don’t worry about keeping up, we all have the same challenge. We all of us just post when we’re up to it.
Kelli,
Thanks for your encouraging comment.
I enjoy this site, it is worth me coming back
