This was posted on a fibromyalgia Facebook page. It's good advice for anyone separated from family this time of year:
When Poor Health and the Holidays Collide
One of the most frustrating things about having chronic autoimmune exhaustion is that even the tamest forms of interaction wipe me out. It's hard to explain to the rest of the world that part of me actually dreads having a good time because I will be so sick afterward. The best thing I can do is choose my interactions very carefully and limit them to those that are the most emotionally rewarding, even if they come with a price.
