Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Guy Dorman.
Barb,
I can sympathize and empathize especially feeling so tired, (with extreme fatigue and insomnia). I’m a 57 year old man. I retired after working with mentally challenged individuals for 29 years, moved to another city, got married, got a part-time job and then a full-time job working in living facility. I hurt my back lifting a patient. I had quit both jobs. I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, hashimoto’s depression, and leaky gut. It’s been a scary nightmare. There have been many times when I feel talking to my wife I should be in a mentally challenged institution.
I understand you feel like your dying. I sleep but still feel exhausted (I do not experience restorative sleep) I admire your positive attitude. Sometimes I just want to give up. My family does understand. I have cried so many times over being sick. I miss the old guy. My wife and I were newlyweds.
