Today I would like to write about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We are not lazy hypochondriacs. We suffer from debilitating fatigue, headaches, back pain and a variety of other maladies. Many of us also suffer from Fibromyalgia. Many people still believe that this is made up or that we are faking. I wish that we were, believe me. I cannot afford to not work. Every day is a struggle. I get up and do what I have to do for my kids even though they and my husband get angry with me for saying that I am tired or that my legs hurt or I have a headache. Would they get angry with me if I had cancer or some other disease that is better known? I wish that we could make these disorders more public. How can we increase public awareness?
