Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia: I could only do a little at a time due
to pain and fatigue. If I over-did myself I would be bedridden for 2-4
weeks. As I learned my limitations and got free of anger and pride to
ask for help the time I was bedridden was reduced to 1-2 weeks at a
time.  My hands were so weak from the fibromyalgia it actually hurt
to hold a piece of paper.  I was robbed of holding my grandchildren
in the way I wanted to.  I had to have help for everything even the
smallest tasks.
