I'll stay in my quiet yurt all day today!<br /><br />Toni, Owch! I don't like the thought of trucks heading towards you at all.... look after your brain, stay off that freeway!<br /><br />Kerry, Thankyou for your encouragement chuck. I blog about this as it's my worst challenge just lately, and not always written about so much as other ME/CFS stuff.<br /><br />Take care all, here's to calm and concrete free heads!<br /><br />Zarla<br />xxxZarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788211656652844439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573426345145405478.post-19434780459790271832010-07-06T22:53:16.645+01:002010-07-06T22:53:16.645+01:00Wow, how you pin-pointedly describe (this post and...Wow, how you pin-pointedly describe (this post and previous) what our ME/CFS brains feel like! Love it "concrete in the mist"- and yes running into that concrete hurts!... and the swirling before it doesn't feel good either. <br /><br />The cognitive struggles are incredibly humbling. I find I want to wear a sign that says "really I'm an intelligent human being...just having a hard time reaching the intelligent part...but its there!" <br /><br />Actually, I'd want to write something with less words and much more clever, that would fit on a button, but no way is that coming out of my brain today.<br /><br />I love that you write about what it feels like to live in a ME/CFS brain--an important aspect of this disease and that you hit the nail on the head (hey, that's also what it feels like--our brain's being the nail). You're spreading awareness!<br /><br />Hope your brain and you are able to rest...

I think of it as being hit in the head with a big rig truck. I just can't get anything to function.<br /><br />Thanks for writing about it even though it was hard to do.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729837575450453607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573426345145405478.post-27525908101688115492010-07-06T09:43:43.356+01:002010-07-06T09:43:43.356+01:00I get this when I'm badly fatigued and it is n...I get this when I'm badly fatigued and it is not a nice place to be. The only thing to do is surrender and cut down as much sensory stimulation as possible. Sleep is pretty elusive too, and thoughts seem impossible to finish. Rest, rest, rest. Hope you feel better soon.Dusty Bogwranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.com
