Hi there,

I'm new to this group and new to being diagnosed with cfid's. I'm
having a difficult time adjusting and figuring out what it means in
terms of how to live my life. I feel a bit lost with trying to sort
through all the different information on the web. I'm interested in
other's experiences and what seems to help. I have some major
decisions to make regarding my career and giving up something that I
love doing. I'm just not able to function like I used to.

I've been prescribed provigil and an ssri but am reluctant to take
them for fear that although they might help in the short run, they
might ultimately delay my healing. Any opinions or experiences on
that? I'm also having the brain fog.

Also, how do you know when to let go of jobs (I can barely work 9
hours per week at this point) or whether this is a temporary thing
that one can push through?

This post ended up a bit long.

Thanks,

Terri
