Sickness in australia

[sqbr]

Still sick, but not quite as miserably so. Have decided to try using Chronic Fatigue Syndrome resources to figure out what's making feel so terrible all the time, since while I don't know that I do have big-CF Chronic Fatigue, I do definitely have small-cf chronic fatigue, and the way you diagnose big-CF fatigue is by testing for all the things that cause small-cf fatigue, so either I get diagnosed with one of those or I tun out to have big-CF S after all.
I emailed the WA ME/CFS society to ask if they have any GPs they recommend who are less likely to tell me I just need to eat more vegetables *mutter*, I must remember the one I was seeing in Nedlands back in 2003ish before I ran out of money and patience since he at least was willing to send me in for tests and specialists rather than brushing me off.

Also, since someone asked, a big version of my "Australia" icon. And yes, I was too lazy to finish off the bits I knew would get cropped :)

Thanks for this! I follow your fatigue stuff with interest, given my own
wildly fluctuating energy levels and sometimes limited number of spoons...

Please keep posting it! (:

I'm currently on day 11 of a really bad cough/cold[1], so...

[1] Went to the GP and she said "I know it's really annoying, but it's not
serious, so go away."

Yes, fatigue and issues with energy is one of those problems a lot of people have to a greater or lesser degree, and it's so hard to know what to do about it, so sharing is good.

Ew, 11 days is way too long. How annoying. Is it bronchitis? I had that a while ago, it hung on for ages after the cold itself had gone. But then it went away, so there's hope! :)
