I think waning symptoms are a good sign. This means healing may be taking place. The body does its own cycling too, while this happens. The chemistries involved are so complex! I just try to help those along as much as possible with diet/supplements, and rest.

When something stops changing and is awful every minute of the day, for an extended time...that is when despair comes in.

Yes, I can empathize with being alone. I do rely on my husband alot.(we were married in 1968!) And I have a dear patient friend too but she is very busy and I only see her occasionally.

After working with the "public" for 40+ yrs, I found retirement a new pleasure. The first few months were awkward, but I have found my stride now.

Just take it a day at a time! I try not to watch TV too much ...lately here in US the news climate is very upsetting! My husband is furloughed right now! So I am watching only a few minutes of the day, of any news show!
