Feeling utterly sh**ty

I need a whinge. I feel absolutely awful at the moment. The ME is hitting me hard and it's playing havoc with my ms. It seems to exacerbate it in some sneaky nasty ways. I've hardly been able to move from the sofa for the last three weeks. My face (nasal area and mouth) keeps going numb, terrible headaches, visual problems, facial drop varying from side to side, but mostly right side. I have to close my right eye to see. Painful to stand and moving is so awkward with burning lymph nodes in the groin area. Throwing up because my throats restricted with swelling glands. Drifting in and out of sleep all day long. Constant neck pain, trapping nerves with the slightest of head movement. Numbness down my arms and especially the two smaller fingers on both hands (like carpal tunnel). Nauseous all day long. The reactive depression caused has been worse than most times I've experienced it, right down to being suicidal, tablets out of the cupboard, ready. (I am getting help with that from the community mental health team) So, all in all, I feel bloody awful. Sorry to moan, but I'm dealing with this all alone at home and needed to vent.

You are not alone <a href='https://shift.ms/community/people/pottypete/' rel='nofollow'>@pottypete</a>. I can't even imagine how sh**ty it is dealing with all that all at once. If I wasn't on the opposite side of the world at 3.30 in the morning (blimmin insomnia)i'd give you a hug. Dig deep and hang on in there.
