I hear ya Wiz!

I think my blah is from the cold and snow, I need some SUN! It's been snowing non-stop for freakin' days here!

Could your blahs be because you just came back to the winter from that lovely vacation? That big dose of warm and sun being suddenly jerked away could have something to do with it.

Think it might be because you are a little late on your infusion?

Whatever it is, I hope it stops soon.:hug:

This is a fairly accurate description of my day-to-day fatigue. I have a few good hours, maybe 8:30 - 2:30, but the rest of the time I could quote your post almost verbatim.

It also bothers me that I know people misunderstand and think I'm blowing them off or don't WANT to call or write. I just don't have the mental energy to relate to people, and sometimes I'm so tired (or blah) that I want to care, but I can't even do that.

Alone? I should say you're not.

I feel for you Wiz and everyone else with the "Blahs" right now. Me too I'm afraid, but I can't even blame the weather seeing as it's summer here!

This has been me over the past few days, and if I don't go get dressed (it's 9:50am) then it'll one more day to add to the list. I'm not blamimg fatigue this time, just a heap of health issues and some family carp that has left me in the dolrums.

Today's another day, and I just have to try and put some of my concerns on the backburner for a while. Smile Koala, and give us all a hug. :grouphug:

Wiz

I can relate to you, actually to everyone.

The cold weather gets us more because of the MS and other health
problems we have. Even a healthy person shows more signs of the Blahs in
the winter.
The cold, early darkness, staying indoors more, sitting around,
can't even open the windows to get some fresh air in the house. So many
more negative things about the cold winter to get us down.

But let us just keep thinking about the SUN, WARMER WEATHER,
it is coming.

May the thoughts of the good weather to come help us in mind,
body and spirit to fight to go on. :grouphug:

I feel "blah" also! But I have two nieces ready to bring new life into this world. Two little boys! So that has been getting me out to my least favorite place in the world, the malls, to find some fun things for these special little fellows.

I can hardly wait for those two fellas to arrive! (looking at calendar) Any day now...(tapping foot) Come on boys! Aunt-Aunt is getting antsy or is that aunt-auntsy?:D

(gee...I feel better)

Yes Cherie,

That has to be part of it. I know because I dread the time the days get very short and it gets dark so early, then I start to feel a glimmer of hope when the sunlight sticks around a little longer each day. I hope this month will go fast!

Do you suffer from SAD (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder)? I do, and have since before they had a name for it (in the 70's). I inevitably shake out of it the first week of March though, so I'm biding my time right now.

Jan,

I'm very sorry for the loss of your DH. :( I hope for you and all of us that spring will come early and give us all some sunshine back. ((((((Big Hugs to you))))))

FFM,

If it's got you down, it must be bad this year! You all make me feel so much better! I can feel so sorry for myself sometimes! :o Then I come here and you all lift me up, I feel so blessed. :grouphug:

RW,

I had my infusion today, so maybe it will help out some. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Dear AMN,

I hope things are going ok with you. I know this must have been a tough time for you. You're strong and smart, and I know you'll get through this. :hug:

DM,

Your son is a treasure, just like you. It's amazing how a sentence or even a look from our kids can change our outlook?

Taffy,

Those babies are going to be such a joy for you! I envy you having them to look forward to! :Heart:We need an icon of a cooing baby!

You've all made me feel a lot better. I feel so lucky to have such a special place where I can share these feelings with people who are going through the same thing.

You're all so special. I wish I could give each of you a big hug! :hug:

Wiz,
Hope you are feeling less blah today! I'm still really tired, but I'm smiling!

I got to work this morning and one of my co-workers had left a comic strip on my desk. Just that little thought knowing someone was thinking of me helps!

And I have lunch plans!

It will be a good day.
