[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 15689, member: 2315"] Pam, I had cognitive problems for about a year. I could not read for more than ten minutes at a time. That was so out of character for me! I am a voracious reader and have been known to read 500+ page books in a day! I was so frightened that I would not get that ability back but I did. I am a bit more scatter-brained than I ever was when I was younger but I am way less than my husband or alot of my friends so that could be my age too. [img]:wink:[/img] I am very out of shape now. The garbage my difficult child put me through the past three years really took a tole. I was soothing myself with chocolate and other goodies alot and gained qite a bit of weight. I had to clear an inch of snow from the allyway and sidwalks around my house and garage today. It was not strenuous just very cold out. I came in and had to sit down for a hour or so. I was so tired. I don't like that. I am currently trying to get my body back into reasonable shape. I went shopping yesterday and bought all kids of healthy food and no sweets! I am watching what I eat again and making a point to walk either indoors or out for exercise daily. I fight fatigue actively. Having been an athlete well into my 40's and a very active person for years even after an accident that sidelined me from skiing and windsurfing and skating. The fatigue is often hard for me to accept. husband and my family have seen me pass out just walking up stairs so they are very aware of this being real. They know that I would not be sitting if I could be doing something else, Consequently they have no problem with my just sitting around when I need to. I'm the one who demands more of myself. Like I said it is a fine balancing act. I won't let it define me or rule my life. But I respect that it is there and do what I have to do (for the most part) to stay as healthy and active as I can. -RM [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
