~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.

rantings about being sick

why do i have to deal with this crap every day? i'm only f-ing 22 for god sakes! its a constant battle dealing with symptoms! and not just symptoms but everything that comes with it! today its my ass feels numb and my body hurts and i have a headache coming on so i put an ice pack on my head and the bed is uncomfortable so its an f-ing pain to move the blankets, it takes energy to move them one by one while in pain. if you can't imagine it and you think i should just shut up and stop complaining 1)go f-yourself or 2) imagine that every action you take every slight movement in your body causes you pain or some type of bad reaction. all you want to do is curl up and die and dream of your life that you should have had! ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every day i wait patiently waiting waiting waiting for it all to go away for me to finally start to get better!!!! i waited for the money to come in so i can see that crap doctor who thought he was helping but just spewed the same shit he did to the previous 60 people who came in, and the supplements he suggested didnt help! why? because he doesnt know SHIT! he says they are all up to date on all the cfs and fibro treatments! bullSHIT! i'm more up to date than he is! and i'm just a person with no college degree. ugh!

No offense taken! I have had AI disease(s) since I was 16. All of us here can definitely relate!

But yes, the younger you are the more it sucks!
