This will be my last post for CFS Squared - Tales of CFS. I have enjoyed writing here, for the past two years. But it’s time for me to move on now.
I must say, that this last word stuff is a little daunting. I kind of want to sneak away - and leave you with […]

Last week, my medicinal indoor herb kit arrived. I opened it up - and started right then and there. My enthusiasm for this idea knows no bounds. Out of 12 herbs, I chose to grow Valerian, Lemon Balm, Milk Thistle, Echinacea, and German Chamomile.
After a week, some of the seeds have started […]

Often before one is diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the patient needs to go through an interview with a psychiatrist. I was so nervous before my initial consult, I should have visited a therapist in order to come to terms with my fears.
Had I known how easy it would have been, I wouldn’t have […]

The last few weeks have been difficult ones for me. I have had some heinous cough- that is not really going away. I have all sorts of mono symptoms that haven’t really been going away. My skin has been peeling like crazy. And some other stuff has been brought to the […]

I try to post videos (especially music ones) on CFS Squared, because I think music can help us achieve restfulness, and sometimes even stillness. I listen to music all the time. In the morning when my alarm goes off, a classical music station quietly nudges me out of slumber. On my commute to […]
