I meant to also say in my note to you that you
should not apologize for having to take a nap or
go to bed early as that is one of the things tm
leaves with us. Fatigue is a major problem!
I try to take it easy a couple of days prior to
doing something special which takes extra energy
and then I also know that I will have to rest on the day
following such activity. That's the only way that I can
keep tm from taking over my life totally! I am taking a
prescription Amanadine(sp?) that is supposed to aid
in fighting the flu and also helping the fatigue factor. I
do think that it has helped this winter, of course I do
less extra things in the winter so who knows? Anyway,
just figure fatigue into your life and live around it! Same
for the pain....I also take Neurontin for the pain and think
that it helps. I have finally gone up to the 1600mg/day
and I think it is working--I hate to go off it to see! I've rambled
on and only meant to say that we have to admit that tm has
left us with certain things we must deal with, but we can and
we will! Everyone in this group is coping and glad to have
each other when coping gets tough!!
