It is a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, which controls everything in the body you don't have to think of, such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature regulation, digestion, energy production, etc. Basically it leaves me very tired and weak. It has been getting progressively worse for about 15 years now, and I have been mostly home-bound for 9 years.Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-54995617075101926172014-06-13T19:35:47.558-04:002014-06-13T19:35:47.558-04:00Thanks, Jennifer.

Isolating from friends, family, and even from yourself- because you cannot express who you are because of physical limitations... <br /><br />When my kids were younger, I would get them to crawl in bed beside me to watch tv with me, or color or do other while I rested. They had no idea how dizzy I was and enjoyed the time. For me it is hard to accept my limitations at times. <br /><br />I am so glad to hear that your week was made brighter by people who did God's work by sending you things to brighten your day.<br /><br />Been checking your website and praying for you...<br /><br />Sometimes on my hard days, I like listening to the song- you know better than I from the Joseph dream works animation... <br /><br />Blessings and a hugCorrinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-3736998058975117782014-05-28T13:42:32.833-04:002014-05-28T13:42:32.833-04:00I can understand and relate to what you're goi...I can understand and relate to what you're going through! Sometimes it really is hard to put on a brave face and wake up ready to take on the challenges chronic illness brings. Thankfully that's usually when you receive something from the divine that reminds you to keep fighting and that you matter regardless of whether it's tangible or not :) <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your encouraging and uplifting goodies with everyone!Kayla @ TheEclecticElementnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-36195279321705092642014-05-28T10:58:17.582-04:002014-05-28T10:58:17.582-04:00This encouraged me rachel :) I've had a hard w...This encouraged me rachel :) I've had a hard week this week and its nice to know I'm not a lone in growing tired of the fight.Tonyanoreply@blogger.com
