Not Always Tired Anymore

I am not always tired anymore. It's been over a year since I had major surgery to get rid of my chronic infections and I have to say this is the most productive summer I have ever had. Do I wake up everyday ready to spring into action and take on the world? No. BUT... I DO WAKE UP. I used to wake up so tired that I wouldn't roll out of bed until 11:00am any day I didn't absolutely have to be up earlier. Now I find myself waking up before the alarm clock and ready to get up (here I am typing this after a full night's sleep at 3am! I can't remember the last time I saw 3am on the *front* side of a day!).

Anyway, I hope you read this and find some inspiration to go see a doctor to help you fight your chronic fatigue issues. It can be an extremely long battle but it's YOUR LIFE... you owe it to yourself to try because time slips away so fast when you're always tired. Believe me I know. I lost nearly two DECADES. Rip Van Winkle isn't a myth. Believe me.
