Ok, after searching my conscience, I came to a realization (at 3 am):
Because of everything else going on, I am also now in a state of clinical depression. Again.
I talked to my doctor this morning (after getting word that mom had to go to the ER for tests to see if she had a heart attack last night) — he has said that he is confident I have a) fibromyalgia, b) chronic fatigue syndrome, and c) clinical depression secondary to illness, and/or d) all of the above. He’s told me to follow up with my general physician, and is starting me on amitryptiline. If the amitryptiline is ineffective (or gives me adverse side effects), we’ll try another anti-depressant.
And that’s where he said we’ll leave it. So I have fm/cfs, and will just have to live with it. Perhaps I’ll be able to be more proactive about my condition(s) after some of the depression is relieved.
Here’s hoping.
