International ME/CFS & FM Awareness Day #Spoonies #Fibro #ME

May 12th is International ME/CFS & FM Awareness Day in honour of that day and the fact that this week is International  ME/CFS & FM Awareness Week 

Like a lot of fibromyalgia and multi-chemical sensitivity patients I hate talking about it. We suffer in silence (after all who wants to hear someone complain day after day, that they are in  pain/and or are tired, or breathed-in/ ate / were exposed to something that made them feel sick.  Or all three? The days we complain are usually the worst days when we feel if we don't say anything will explode from the extreme level of pain/or tiredness that feels like it's taking over our every waking moment. stealing our life away. The word we hate to say most CANT. Sooner or later that word is uttered and we hate to say it.

Have you ever had the flu? Think of your flu at it's worst and double or triple that, sometimes that is our good day. We try hard to appear normal and do normal things like everyone else so we don't often appear sick. Others are worse off and can not even get out of bed/ eat/ or live any type of normal life.

Millions of people around the world suffer in silence,we don't want sympathy we just want to be heard.This disease needs research, so they can find the roots of this disease and cure it, for more info on this disease.  http://www.disabled-world.com/health/fibromyalgia/

A tribute to my Mother

So this weekend is Mother’s Day and like a lot of daughter’s, I am motherless now. to all of you who are like me motherless remember all the good things and keep your mom alive in hearts and minds by sharing stories of them.

     My mother was an, is always in my mind. She taught me so many things about compassion, kindness and generosity. My mother had a hard life. We never had a lot of money and she had six children to clothe and feed, but we always had clothes on our backs, food on our table and loads of love. My mother loved nature and would entertain us not with expensive trips, but with long walks to see the wildflowers, spring and other nature wonders. In the summer we’d pick wild berries and flowers. We had fun and often our friends we’d join our parties as we’d bring picnics with us.  I remember my childhood as fun and love filled. I never had expensive toys or things but never wanted for anything.

      She taught us the value of hard work showing us that hard work could be rewarded with fun walks and trips that cost little.

    My mother as I said never had a lot of money but there was always in her mind enough to share with others that had even less. I remember one time she heard that someone with four children had lost all their possessions in a house fire. She gave clothes of her own and ours as well as asking us to look through our toys and find toys that we’re in good shape that we could share with them. We did so willingly and happily.

    Many of our friends found refuge at our house. They found a willing ear, a comforting voice and a place to stay if they needed. If anyone of her children needed her she was there, with advice or anything else we needed without judgement. I miss here every day, but when I hear my voice as  I give my daughter’s advice or offer them what I was taught I know that I was the luckiest of people to have a mother like mine. So even though my mother is gone I am wishing her Happy Mother's Day. I was blessed I hope you are too!

Doc could talk like parrot but that's another story.
