Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Steph, i don't know how YOU do it!

if i had to go through this with 2 kids, i think i would be a basket case every day instead of every few weeks! i really admire you, to be able to do all the stuff that you do!

you know, both thyroid and hypoglycemia get linked with fibro a lot. of course, it seems to me like everything gets linked with fibro at some point or another.

and while researchers don't believe that things like thyroid problems, Epstien-Barr, viruses, accidents and other things actually directly cause fibro, they seem to often be triggers in a lot of cases. you've got such a string of related stuff, i wouldn't be surprised to hear that you had CFS or Fibro....

i certainly would ask your doctor if she (he?) is capable of doing a tender points test. it can't hurt at all! well, i mean can't hurt to ask--- the test can be kinda ouchy, but not as ouchy as not knowing why you're so exhausted.

is there a treatment for Epstien-Barr, or is it esentially telling you to rest?

well, Steph, hang in there. i will send you all my spare energy. i really can't see how you do it! i'm sure Lexi is a doll, but sometimes i get worn out just watching kids! i know when i play with my niece for a day i'm really wiped the next day.... but it's worth it. i just don't know that i could do it every day....

SMOOCHES to you!
