Once you or someone you know or love is diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or any other disabling condition, that person’s priority by necessity must change. The suggestions in this section can help ease the lifestyle adjustments necessitated by the condition.
Setting Goals While You Cope with a Chronic Illness

Time Management for Those with Disabling Conditions

Don’t panic. The title of this entry doesn’t refer to any sort of dire predictions. Rather, it’s about another “just for fun” site. This one lets you enter your birth date. Once you do, you’ll learn about the moon phase on the date of your birth. You’ll also see how old you are in seconds and minutes. Also, if you have an interest in numerology, you’ll be advised of your life path number — the number that some believe reveals your personality traits. You can read what your number means on the site; whether it’s accurate is something you’ll have to determine for yourself. Visit the Birthday Calculator to learn more.

I still know many of the answers.
Just don’t expect me to give them to you immediately.
Some people call it CRS (Can’t Remember Stuff). I refer to it as DRS (Delayed Recall Syndrome). Thanks to DRS, I’ve had to give up on many of my dreams; however, I have decided that even with my new cognitive skills levels thanks to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Fibromyalgia, there is one way that I could realize my life-long dream of appearing on Jeopardy! It’d only take a slight change in the procedure. Imagine, if you will, Alex announcing something like: “We’ll return for Pam’s answers after this commercial.”

Information on Orthostatic Intolerance (OI), a syndrome characterized by altered mental activity, fatigue, lightheadedness, and temporary deficiency of oxygen in the brain (swooning); it is associated with postural tachycardia (POTS) and disproportionately high plasma norepinephrine (a hormone and neurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal medulla and the nerve endings of the sympathetic nervous system to cause increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and the sugar level of the blood) concentrations.
Diastolic Cardiomyopathy is a disorder affecting the diastolic (when the heart muscle is relaxing between contractions) function of the heart.

Information on those who suffer from Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), which is sometimes referred to as Persian Gulf Illness, and who have symptoms that include diarrhea, headaches, joint pain, persistent fatigue, numbness, and other health problems.
