Predictably (given my lifestyle of late), I crashed on Friday. Only a little bit, though. I had to leave uni at midday, and as soon as I got home I crashed on the couch and slept until dinner time.
The thing that was scary was that I was aching, and very weak. I put it down to not taking my pills for days (almost weeks), not eating well, and not sleeping enough.
It's not that I can't fall asleep. I just don't have time to sleep. And that's really bad.
I think I need to slow down again, which is what I did this weekend. It was one of the few weekends I've had in months, where I haven't gone out of town. I was supposed to go to my boyfriend's parents' place to help at the farm, but I had too much uni work to do. I think that turned out to be a blessing.
By Saturday afternoon I felt better. I'm still OK today, so I think it was just a little scare... a warning to those of you undergoing similar treatment to stay the course!

A blog about life for someone with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Who am I?
I'm 25, female, I live in Melbourne (Australia), and I may have just recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
What is this blog about?
This blog used to paint a picture of life for someone with chronic fatigue syndrome.
My hope was that this blog would help people (including myself) understand the condition better.
As of 2010, I may have recovered from CFS. I will continue to post occassionally. I hope people with CFS will see it as a glimmer of hope.

Why is this blog called "CFS Uncensored"?
I came up with the title "CFS Uncensored" because I feel like most CFS sufferers censor what they tell their friends and loved ones.
Sometimes I censor what I'd like to say because my brain isn't functioning properly, so I can't get the words out. Other times it's to protect friends and loved ones from feeling too bad for me.
The thing is, this doesn't help people really understand the condition. And I believe understanding the condition is half the battle for everyone involved.
