Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | First, let me say thank you all for your well wishes. I'm on the mend, I think, if I can stop being stupid and stubborn for any length of time...
So to spare the details of a very long story...listen to your bodies and pushing them after the experience some of us have had with this disease isn't smart. When it tells you you've gone too far it can be rather harsh. Needless to say I think I have learned my lesson.
Love you guys.

You are probably right, but my body is pissed at me right now and hit me very hard. In the last week I've lossed about 15lbs of hard earned muscle, am weak, dehydrated and so tired I can't see straight .
This morning I awoke finally feeling "not close to death" and decided to try and help at the pizza shop. I had my first "meal" (ensure and protein ) and started prepping for the day. 3 hours later I was on my back, helped back into the bed I've been in for 7 + days. see...stupid and stubborn. I'm committing to myself, for my families sake, to not push so hard and I know I need help honoring that commitment.
have to be done tonight, very tired.
Eric
