Thank you. Wilhelmina, I had friends come over to watch the Oprah show when you helped share what CFIDS can do. I got sick in 1986 @ 14 years old. I look forward to a cure. HOPE, healing, JOY for us all. Thank you again for your efforts.
God be with you. I am very sick myself, and I understand what you are going through. I pray all the time for all of us that face chronic issues. You are loved.
I so hear you Wilhemina!!!! I think you have defined this illness perfectly. If I could reach through the internet and give you a big gentle hug - I WOULD!!! I am only 29 yrs old living with CFS, I was diagnosed just about 5 1/2 years ago, but I know now, that I've been dealing with CFS since my teens. Before I knew what CFS was and got diagnosed, I thought it was depression & anxiety that I had. Now I know it was the CFS all along.
Wilhemina------Thank you ! As mtns2beaches said, you expressed the cognitive problems so well.I think for most of us (hopefully)there are a few people we can just BE with and they don't mind playing charades.The rest of the time you can spend a days(or weeks) worth of energy trying to appear like your pre-illness self. Hand in there and God bless.
Wilhelmina... You are always so articulate and well spoken. Thank you for being a face and voice for all of us suffering from this devastating illness.

This so describes me, the coping mechanism for the cognitive issues would amaze people if it were mapped out.
