Hi! I have no idea what CFS is or how one comes down with such an affliction. It sounds awful.. ((( Circle of Healing Angels Hugs ))) for you to missmilk.
I found you from the K. Tyrel blog. I was going to say that now I have two blogs to read on art products. Plus, I am waiting for a set of Generic Pencils from Dick Blick - their brand to make a comparison to the pencils I have.
I will be most interested in your blog.
Please take care and hopefully, your son is having a bout that I had at about that age. Though I am female, I know boys tend to have more internal problems as they grow or are about to go through a growth spurt. Male growth spurts seem to be more violent to the body.
Sorry, the doctors ran all sorts of test and I was told it was just me. The last time I had a bad problem, it was determined to be family issues. My Mother had run away. It just caused those horrible pains around the stomach, as if you are being cut in half and horrible migraine headaches. I hope He is ok. He is at the awarness age. Things bother them without them knowing.
No answer required. Will check back. I have added you as a link on my blog.

Sherrie

Oh wow! I’ve been following your blog for a few months now and I had no idea you have CFS. Me too. I’m not on top of it yet and I’m not working or doing anything much productive at the moment but I started a blog a few weeks back to help me keep in touch with friends and do something semi-productive…it takes so much time! (and I only post a couple of times a week and only a few of my friends read it so I don’t get much comments! Can’t imagine if it was a popular blog.) So I totally understand. January is yucky but not long til spring now. Take care of yourself and don’t reply! Hope your son gets better soon too.

No question to reply to, just moral support of the comment kind. And also to let you know I’m giving you a ‘You Make My Day’ award when I do a mini post update today..but no need to follow it up… and that includes NOT using it as a distraction from the taxes, oh yes, I know that one (I am the Mistress of that one).

I hope all your tax stuff falls into place and you get it all done before the deadline with room to spare. Also best wishes to your son. And for your own energy, not sure if it’s your thing, but when I’m on the verge of a crash I find freshly made rosemary tea can keep me from toppling over the edge. Simmer for 5mins and drink at the or middle of the day. It’d be especially helpful just now because it also helps concentration, just what you need to do the tax. I take mine with a little sage and thyme added as well (good for us women) and a little bit of honey. Take care x

Kirsty - doesn’t sound like January has been too much fun at all!

Now - that long list of other things you’d like to be doing sounds to me as if you may have been hit with that really dreadful affliction called ‘dontwannadomytaxreturn’. Every winter it comes around and hits us all for six - and we turn up at the GPs and they just don’t want to know!

I know you know it makes sense to just take the medicine rather than paying that £100 fine plus interest for filing late. So before you do anything else just remember there’s lots of other sufferers who’ve also got to get their heads down and sniff those invoices and expense receipts. It’s not nice but we’ve all got to do it!

Oh, goodness. I’m sending lots of good thoughts out to your family, and extra energy to you. You’re wise to step back and conserve your energy. Whatever you do, do NOT reply to this comment!
