My now-17 year old had his tonsils out when he was 6. He was having repeated strep infections - IIRC, maybe 5 or so in a year. Recovery was fine - lots of popsicles and mac and cheese. He's never had strep since then. He is fairly healthy - he did develop epilepsy at age 13, but I'm sure that's completely unrelated.

AirTags are definitely more than 30 ft.

A few more: Its not a tumor - from Kindergarten Cop. I definitely say I want my two dollars!

I do not think that means what you think it means. You're killing me, Smalls. So many lines from The Goonies.

I have been teaching 100% online for many years. I have an interview tomorrow for a homeschool co-op/hybrid school for a teaching position. I emailed my resume, but should I bring hard copies of it? I don’t know how to do job interviews these days!!!!

Ugh. We are supposed to be going to Akron, OH. But with the weather forecast, I'm not sure if we should go or not.

I listened to a podcast series about it. I’ll check out these articles.

Most of the time, I don’t carry a purse. I have a wallet attached to my phone and I keep my keys on my belt.

Thank you, everyone! I thought I had a fever this morning, but it was super-low. No fever all day! Hopefully this means I've turned the corner. If I get any worse, I promise I will go in!!!!

I am on Day 5 of a fever and congestion. Several Covid tests have been negative. I am miserable. No one else in my family has been sick. I’m assuming I probably have the flu, but it’s too late for antivirals I would think. If I drag myself to Urgent Care today, can they even do anything?

The same thing happened to me last year. It scared me so much!!!!

To those of you that have successfully navigated this, did you feel that seeing a Counselor was helpful?

I think I'm in the midst of one. A lot of these posts resonate with me right now.

I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers of love and comfort for Kathy Jo and family.

Same here. We have been on 2 Disney cruises in the past 2 years. We don’t have a huge, fancy house. We don’t have fancy cars. DH is a saver and he has spreadsheets galore and we worked hard to save up for those trips. We got so many comments about those cruises - Just like the ones you are getting. Congrats on the anniversary and graduation!!!!

I have always had super-vivid, really intense dreams. An occasional nightmare, but mostly just really vivid dreams. It’s exhausting and I feel like it’s just one of the puzzle pieces in my severe fatigue journey. I had a sleep study last year and it was normal. Any other ideas? Supplements that will help? I do have anxiety, Hypothyroid, and GERD.

No advice, just solidarity. I have 3 ND teens. Ages 13, 16, and 17. I’m exhausted.

We have what we call a sideboard. It has 3 drawers and baskets underneath.

We just made a hotel reservation for Canton, OH. It's a teensy bit outside totality, but we will plan to drive somewhere. We live in VA, and it's about an 8 hour drive. We will stay a few days and go to the NFL Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Confession ~ The only time I have ever cleaned an oven is when something really obvious spills. Otherwise, no cleaning here.

I do get fresh air and sunshine every day. Percentage of fat, I’m not sure. My Endo wants me eating high protein and low carb. I do eat way too much sugar, but I’m working on that.

Sleep study was normal.

Pretty sure that has been checked. I will dig back through my lab results.

Constant level of fatigue. Peri - I have never had a menstrual cycle at all. It’s due to my pituitary gland not working

Thanks, everyone. To answer some questions, things that have been tested: -ANA factor - negative - vit D is fine - iron seems fine - it was low when this first started, but is fine now - the fatigue started in 2020, I had Covid in 2022 - I do have non-Hashis Hypothyroid - my Endo has been tweaking my meds - My Endo has also added Testosterone -I do have anxiety and depression, but they seem well-conteolled - I’m also 51, with Hypopituitarism, so my hormones are definitely a mess My Endo is wonderful and is working on it
