Glad you're feeling a little better. I, on the other hand, feel junky today. I've got a full-blown IBS flare-up kickin'! (AND I had to go to the GYN this morning for my annual. GEESH!  Told her it was totally up to her if she wanted to do a rectal... She opted out!  )
Anyway, I have CFS, supposedly. I say "supposedly" 'cause I don't know how thrilled I am with that diagnosis on top of the IBS. That's a lot to take in, in just one year. I was actually feeling a bit sorry for myself earlier, so thanks for the kind words. I really needed them! (Yesterday was my bday and I was really angry and sad about how limited my diet is right now! I don't surrender to self pity much, but couldn't seem to run from it yesterday. I just wanted some stupid "real" icecream or to be able to just have a Diet Coke!) So, thanks. You actually just cheered me up without even knowing it!
The CFS mostly just manifests as overwhelming exhaustion. I have always been one of those 8-hour a nite sleepers (or I got cranky!), but now I feel sick if I'm not getting 12. RIDICULOUS! Naturally, I don't get that often. What else....? Oh, I have the cluster symptoms. It's the "Which came first, the chicken or the egg" thing. Are my migraines and IBS from the CFS? Is that why I'm achy a lot of the time? Who knows. Basically all I'm sure about is over the last 2 years all I can do is wait for my next nap or for my 8:30 bedtime! 
Ah, well. That's life. Take care of yourself!!!! Get lotsa rest and baby those sinuses, Ruchie! And go read a trashy magazine. It'll either help wonders or make you sleepy and drift into a nap. Either way, you can't lose!
*hugs* right back atcha!
