Compulsive Reading

About to blog 3 – a blonde moment!

So.

In terms of tiredness, The Day At The Office went well.
But.

I did have some issues.

1. I picked up MindReader’s lunch by mistake, despite him saying to me, “make you sure don’t pick up the wrong lunch!” In my defence, I didn’t realise that he, too, had made a sandwich type thing and surrounded it with crisps and chocolate buttons in a sandwich box! We are way too similar. Anyway – this resulted in me stalking across town cursing Coeliacs disease, Glandular Fever and the lack of availability of NON WHEAT products for hungry people, as my Twitter evidences. I ate some melon, an orange and a banana. Bearing in mind I eat a BIG MEAL approximately every three hours I was hungry enough by lunchtime to walk across town to the Morrisons where I bought some wheat-free scones.

2. Somebody left a comment on my blog that evening. Basically (and hi! Nicky!) they said they got well, went back to work and RELAPSED. While, short of very early on in the whole ME/Coeliacs/Glandular fever saga, I did relapse/remit, I haven’t since and I have experienced only progress (albeit sometimes mind-numbingly,slow), apart from the odd flu. Touch wood.

But this is the second person to come forward and say this. Let me tell you, it is one thing living with the dim notion that it can sometimes come back and a whole other thing to have someone tell you that it happened to them. But, actually, I’m not in a position to say, actually, I think I’ll spend the day at home today, because I have no money and the government is crap and doesn’t think I have a real illness/thinks I haven’t paid enough national Insurance Credits/Thinks MindReader’s pittance salary should be enough to keep me and pay off all his law school loans.

So, I don’t really know what I’m saying, except that I had a cry in the loo, and I really hope it doesn’t happen to me.

    Hi

    I think that you are talking about my comment. I wasn’t trying to upset you or suggest that you should not of gone back to work. I was just saying be careful and don’t overdo things. I got so excited when I started to feel well again after years of being ill, bedridden etc. I went back to work part-time and felt ok so then I started going shopping at the weekends and then on nights out. I was gradually doing more and more and then I had a relapse and was back to square one.I should of stopped when I started to feel tired and not quite myself again but I carried on. So again I am sorry if I upset you. That was never my intention. I would just hate anyone else to go through what I have been through. Believe me!!
