Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well. I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I do read a lot of posts and try to keep up with you all. It's a constant struggle with this isn't it. This summer has been rough for me. Even though I have a " part time " job, my employer thinks it's ok to schedule me as full time and overtime (48 hrs) with only one day off at a time since the beginning of June. Being a FMS patient, this does not work! I am so drained that the days I do have off, I lay around and do nothing. No quality of life at all. I have had several flare ups due to this and of course I caught some kind of cold or flu two weeks ago and was at home sick for four days with fever, sore throat, and a lot of congestion, headache. I am better now, but still have the headaches from ongoing sinus issues, which I address with sinus flushes and lots of vitamin C. I talked to a friend of mine tonight about her 12 yr old niece who was diagnosed in January with Lyme disease. She told me she is doing somewhat better due to daily Vitamin B injections. I was relieved to hear she is doing better and can lead somewhat of a normal life. She had missed most of her winter and spring schooling due to her illness. She still does get fatigued quickly, but she is at least able to play and have some physical activity like a 12 year old should. Have any of you had vitamin B injections to help with fatigue and/or energy levels? I looked online and saw a lot of reference to it for FMS/CFS. I have struggled with fatigue a lot lately even though I eat a lot of organic meats and organic veggies, (as long as the deer don't eat them out of my fenced in garden!) I still have flare ups and fatigue. To be honest I think it's from my work schedule. We are all faced with this illness for a reason. Maybe so we can all learn the truly healthy way to live, so we all live to old ages! Love to you all. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
