<< Dear Mushroo,
I too am a teacher and researcher. Prior to tm I was considered by my peers
as good in both. I really enjoyed interacting with students at both levels
and considered myself fortunate that I could continue to work and support
my family. Since returning to work I find that I cannot concentrate. The
constant pain, planning catheterisation times and fatigue make it
impossible to perform at my pre tm level. >>
I know that there are people on this list
who are in a much worse position than myself. However, it is some comfort
to know that I am not alone in feeling incompetent.
Take heart, David, as I did when I read your response. I am realizing from my
reading and from our friends here in the list that it isn't over!! Things can
get better. I'm looking for ways to help the fatigue, to overcome the symptoms
that so overwhelm me, and I know together we can share ideas, things that have
helped calm the storm! Keep in touch!!! Mushroo
