You Know You Have

ME/CFS When…

... you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.

...you have a choice of two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home earlier.

...you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

...you don't worry about avoiding temptation. With ME/CFS, it will avoid you.

......when you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of by the police and getting lucky means you found your car in the parking lot.

...you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.

...you don't care where your husband/wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.

...the doctor says "I have good news and bad news -- the good news is that you are not a

 hypochondriac..."

...you go to make toast and nothing happens. You've plugged in the can opener.

...you have to sit down to brush your teeth in the morning.

...you become exhausted trying to blow out the candles on your birthday cake and ...you forget your twin sister's birthday.

...you realize that you just sprayed spot remover under your arms instead of deodorant.

...you put both contact lenses in the same eye.

….There is a big basket at the bottom of the stairs full of stuff waiting to go upstairs.

...you feed your pets, then sit down and try to decide if it is really worthwhile to get up again just to feed yourself.

...you have your hair cut off  because you're too tired to wash/style it anymore.

...you go to the store to get some cosmetics and write your check out to "Wallpaper" instead of "Wal-mart."

... you continue watching some boring person reinvent the brick on TV because the remote is out of reach.
