Liddy,

Thanks for you reply. You work full time in a hectic job, you are

so lucky to be able to maintain your job and other activities. I

have slowed down quite a bit since diagnois. I now start getting

more active than before. But still get tired pretty easy.

Sometimes, I just don't feel like going anywhere or doing anything.

Sometimes, I have good amount of energy but it's not long lasting.

hotel/restaurant industry and I have pretty much worked full-time

since mid 2003. I consider myself to be very active and keep up

with the young ones, ( I " m 56), but every now and then I just have

to take advantage of a morning off and go back to bed and sleep till

I wake, then my batteries are charged and I'm off again. I keep

myself very busy with all sorts of interests and try to keep as busy

and as positive as I can and I find most of the time I don't notice

the tiredness. I also find I have to drink lots of water and that

helps with the fatigue as well.

difference or not.
