Hi Vickie,

I am so sorry to hear that you are dealing with such awful fatigue. Do you have an appointment scheduled with your doctor in the near future? Have you mentioned this to your doctor in the past?

The fatigue can be awful. Mine has gotten better in general. Now it hits more like a flair up…now everyone knows when I am flailing because its the only time I can sleep during the day.
I hope you find things over time that work for you to help with that.
