CFS

I haven’t really posted about this much but… a couple years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I spent the first several months after it adjusting what I ate, how I lived, what I took and when. Things leveled out some after I had Alex. I still take my B12 shots twice a week. I have gotten good at doing them although most of my thighs are numb now from them. Its also weird to be clean this long and feel like a junkie.

I can feel some of the joint aches coming back. I am not sure if its a true flare up or a little mini flare up or just age but I do need to start taking better care of myself. Part of that has to do with eating better again, working out regularly and lowering my stress levels.

I found that, for me, stress will knock me down completely more than anything else in regards to the CFS. As a Type A personality though, stress is just a constant in my life. I need to start finding ways though to keep the bad stress out (drama) and the healthy stress (work and parenting) maintained.
