just wondering if anybody else feels awful for a few hours after they wake up . i feel TERRIBLE until about 3pm and then by 4 or 5 i seem to come around a bit . its really getting to me as sometimes i just need to get out of the house … but have to keep lying back on the bed .
going into my 7th month now the last 2 months since stopping working out have been the worst for me .
unfortunately, that’s how this virus works. feel like crap all morning and wired up by 8 pm. i have had this problem for a while.
I feel your pain. Mornings and evenings are the worst for me, too.
God help us thats all i can say … its a cruel harsh virus
Feel exactly the same way Lori and im 16 months in
16 months !!! have you improved at all ?
Hi Lori,
I also felt like this the mornings were the worst, I used to hate to go to bed because I always felt better at night, I eventually recovered.
Oh Lori the mornings and the start of the days I find so difficult too. Today and recently at times I’ve had to spend an hour or so just crying and sitting on the edge of my bed praying to God asking Him to help us and get me through what I’m going through and how I’m feeling right now.
I just want you to know you’re not on your own Lori. I’m certainly thinking about you each day, and with mono remember it’s normal to feel like this in the mornings because it’s such a physically draining and exhausting virus. But it does get better Lori - it will get better - I have a strong belief you are going to get better Lori, this thing doesn’t last forever and remember there is hope and that you will be well again. I have faith in that for you today Lori even if you’re finding it hard to see or feel it yourself right now.

Yeah much better than i was but still not quite right,but i also have ME/CFS to deal with aswell,ive had that for a lot of years before i got gf,so its probably worse for me anyway
Im just about able to get up let my 2 little dogs in garden,get something quick to eat then i have to go back to bed,feels like im hungover !! i seem to be more alert and with it later in the evening
Just a quick reply Craig to let you know you are still in my thoughts,sending love and strength and peace of mind to you.having a rough day today myself,thinking what a miserable existence this is while the rest of my friends are out there enjoying themselves,sending messages and videos on facebook of themselves on holiday or in the pub having fun and im stuck in house like a recluse…
yes i find that if im feeling ok in the evening dread going to bed as it starts all over again in the morning
dont feel bad i too watch everybody living very full lives travelling dinners friends … and just basically happy. dont worry our time will come !
i firmly believe after suffering so much there has to be a big rainbow ! they may be having the time of their lives right now but at some point in life everybody has a crisis or health crisis lets just think that we’re going through ours right now and only good and great times ahead
I seem ok when I first wake up, although can still tell I’m unwell. For some reason I keep thinking I’ll wake up one day and it’s gone…can only hope! But I seem to really struggle at 11am everyday for about an hour…it’s like my body clock is set for this time. so bizzare. Usually lasts an hour. I do have the odd hour here and there mid afternoon, but yes by the time the evening arrives I seem to feel a while lot better…again not sure if it’s just a body clock thing where my mind must be set it’s time to relax and go to sleep soon.
im sorry things are so rough for you right now craig we have to hang in there… its just temporary and we will get over this . sending the white light to you peace and prayers. we’re only going to get stronger after such a horrendous time
yes i tell people its like having the flu abd a hangover at the same time … but worse!!!
yes me too … then after a couple of hours just go downhill and feel awful . so literally sick of this !
I wake up around 4:30 to 5:00 every morning and within 1/2 to 1 hour feel like i have a hangover , flu like symptoms and sick to my stomach. Most of the time it burns off by 11:00 am. The morning it don’t burn off i am very tired all day and cant do much other than rest and be useless . Been this way for nine months now , although its slowly getting better it really sucks and I have had enough . One day this nightmare will be over and i will never take a healthy feel good day for granite again …
amen to that ! we must have something really good coming to us after the storm comes the sun . and yes its sooooo slow so for an impatient person somebody whos used to ‘getting things done’ its hell.
just waiting patiently is a job in itself. surely a life lesson that we cant see yet .
Hi Craig,
I am so sorry you are going through such a tough time, I am adding you to our prayer chain, I hope that recovery comes quickly for you. You deserve the very best life has to offer, as I always say you were a god send for all of us.
