Thats it really. I had a bad virus in October, and haven't really recovered. I've had other viruses since, currently got a chest infection. The fatigue is leaving me really achey, painful joints, very tired. I pick up for a few days, then get ill again, and its really getting me down. I've been in tears a few times which is very unlike me, I was in tears at the GPS. Hes said I should pull through, spring is likely to help me pick up, it usually does ( I work outside some of the time and have always been affected by the weather). I said how its hard coping with working part time, being mum to 2yr old. keeping house in order and not feeling I'm doing any of these well at the moment etc, but with this illness too I'm struggling to cope, and each time I get ill again I feel more down. I don't have depression, I'm just low and struggling. Should I just hang on for a few more weeks and hope I pull through, or do I try Prozac, he says think about it.
