Right now I'm doing ok, it's been cold recently though and as a quadriplegic who can't control body temperature that well I've had lots of blankets on me past few days.

I just can't seem to recover from when I had the cold a month ago.

I start to feel a little better and then the fatigue slams down hard again. I was actually feeling pretty concerned with just how bad it was when my husband tried to wake me up from a nap yesterday.

@AffyAvo do you maybe need to see a doctor Affy it sounds serious if your body is unable to seem to get past it

@AffyAvo sounds frustrating that neither one know what your going through right now having no diagnosis isnt nice

@AffyAvo It can be hard to get a diagnosis with fatigue causing illnesses.It took me 10 years to get a diagnosis. I hope that you can get a diagnosis much sooner.

@adventurousBranch3786 Thanks, it's been rough at times. One of my diagnoses took over 30 years, and that can cause some of the fatigue that I do experience, so that certainly delayed figuring some things out. I think my current fatigue levels have been due to something separate though and I suspect that has gone on for over 10 years although test results (that were done) have been off for about 5ish years.

Not sure if chronic illness counts as a disibility, but the last three weeks have been really hard for me. I haven't really had any "good days" and just getting through work everyday has completly exhasuted me to the point where I haven't really had the energy to even get out of bed and eat dinner or do any sort of housework. My health seems to be deteriorating and I'm concerned about how much longer I'll even be able to hold down my job and the idea of depending on disibilty assistance from the government scares me because I'm not sure if I'll still be able to pay rent or have enough to pay for groceries and things.
