When you have CFIDS, you always sort of feel like you have the flu. Somedays are better than others so it's hard to know when you are actually getting the flu for real. The last couple of weeks -- this last week in particular -- those flu-like symptoms have been worse and that low-grade fever I often have at night has ratcheted up to near a hundred. Just the ebb and flow of CFIDS or the flu?
Well, tonight I've been able to be on my computer for a few hours without the fever going up for the first time in a couple of weeks. So, I dunno. Maybe it was the flu.
But that's why it's been a bit quiet this last week. Sometimes it takes me awhile to get back to your comments, but I do get to them. And, God-willing, there'll be a bit more ebbing and flowing around here this next week.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your "ebb and flow" entry really resonated with me again. We are constantly trying to figure out whether worsening symptoms are CFIDS or something else! This week it's been allergies with both of my boys. When they both had sore throats, I kept quizzing them to ascertain whether it was a CFIDS sore throat or "just" from post-nasal drip from their allergies (it was allergies). Hope this latest ebb passes on quickly for you.

Yeah, know what ya mean. My throat's been scratchy and my ears a bit drainy and I'm starting to wonder if I might have a touch of hayfever.
I suppose in the end it doesn't really matter. I mean, it's not like I'm going anywhere anyways, you know?
