    "Moan" Monday

    Monday is always the most painful part of the week, but hey, you can always have a different mindset. Instead of thinking how far ahead the next weekend is, just enjoy the fact that you can do a lot of things during the week and you will feel accomplished. It's really all in the mind. If you...

    Have an interview for a much less stressful job but can I do it?

    You just have to focus on the fact that you do need a job. You can't just stay at home forever always feeling sick. A job will help you get distracted from the pain and also keep you feeling productive and give you a sense of achievement. If you think positive during an interview, I'm sure...

    This stupid HEAT

    I have the same kind of attitude. I get really moody when it's terribly hot and I've heard of a lot of studies as well that fights and even crimes do go higher during seasons of too much heat. I don't say it's a good justification for being moody and angry, but it does have an effect. What I...

    No sympathy from daughter

    I think you should really have a heart-to-heart talk with your daughter and tell her exactly how you feel about her attitude towards you. You also have to try to understand where she's coming from. Sometimes, daughters act like that because they are in denial that you are not well and they...

    Bad Neighbors=Bad Stress!

    With that kind of behavior, your neighbors deserve a complaint to the homeowner's association. I can't imagine that they can be that considerate. They probably came from a place where people are equally rude. What I suggest you do is write a detailed complaint about the things he has done and...

    Headaches and Storms

    I have the same experience, but for me it's during summer when the weather is way too hot. I also often experience more pain at the very start of the season. I think it's my body's way of adjusting. I would usually be sick at least for the first 2 weeks and then i would have the same episode...

    Do we share pain spots?

    My aunt has the exact same symptoms and it really drove her crazy because it makes her so uncomfortable all the time. I think it's very typical for people with fibromyalgia. Eventually, my aunt just got used to it and she does not get paranoid anymore each time she experiences it. I really...

    Head Pain

    It sounds like a serious case of muscular stiffness. Your doctor may be right when he said it is related to stress. When you are stressed, you tend not to notice how you move your body or even how you sit down. Sometimes, when we are so engrossed with work, you will that you are not moving...

    Pain With Walking

    You have to check with your spine doctor. My aunt had the same issue and she found out that she actually has slip disc (something wrong with the spine) and the pain just basically reverberates to her legs. If it's a serious case, surgery might be necessary. Pain with walking can mean a lot...

    is pain mental or physical?

    I think it's both, although I strongly believe that if you try to divert your mind into something else, you may start to feel that pain is much less. The mind is so powerful that if you really focus on the fact that you are feeling pain, the more that the pain feels so much bigger. That's why...

    When Do You Put Your Foot Down?

    Exactly! I think you don't even need to find an excuse anymore if you can't do something for another person. Just say you can't, you just can't. You don't need to tire yourself any further trying to figure out what to say just so you won't offend the other person. Keep in mind that you can't...

    Does CFS affect your Sex Life?

    It may have an effect, mainly because sex is partly an emotional process. If you are not feeling well, definitely you're not in the mood, and that will directly affect the quality of the love that you give to your partner. This is a very tricky situation to be in, and as we all know, if this...

    Evening nap makes me feel almost cured

    I personally don't like taking naps, because it always would make me feel so sluggish. For example, if I sleep in the car for like 30 mins, when I wake up, I feel so thirsty, hot, and even more tired. It really feels like not resting at all. I get so moody as well after that. I only sleep...

    Exercise

    Yeah, I make sure that I always always include cardio in my daily exercise. I can leave the other things behind such as weightlifting but I will always do my cardio. I like it when I perspire a lot and the other types of exercises just don't do that for me. What's also nice with cardio is...

    How do you not overdo it when you feel better?

    I think you just need to make sure that you are not stretching yourself too much in any given task. I know it's really very motivating whenever you start to feel that you can finally do something. However, it's not worth it when you'll be in bed anyway in the next coming days. What I would...
