You know you have CFIDS/FMS when…

   ....you pull out a garage door opener from your purse to unlock your car, aim it at the key slot on your car door, click away, and then stand there in a stupor, wondering why the door wont open.  --Unknown

   ....you go upstairs to have a bath, only to realize the bathtub plug is downstairs ... so you decide to have a bath tomorrow instead. -- Gossamer

    ....you wear non-shaped dresses because nothing else you have slides on or off as easily. -- Ann

          You fill up the tub to take a whirl pool bath and decide you're going to take a nap instead 'cause you’ve exhausted yourself filling up the tub and putting on the whirl pool attachment…Ann
