I totally understand what you mean in terms of lack of energy. I'm on 17 prescriptions/day and ... shocker, they ALL cause drowsiness. I typically have to scrape myself out of bed just to collapse back down on my Living Room couch. After 12:30 pm (EST), I can must up some energy to at least open the lid to my laptop. Once I'm able to do that, I can usually open the game at least to gift and start visiting. By 7 pm, I'm completely exhausted from the: pill-popping throughout the day, having lost all the tactile feeling & fine motor skills from playing and typing on the Wiki, and my eyes are so dry & blurry, from starring endlessly at the screen to find all the items, ... I end up squeezing a half a bottle of artificial tears into each eye, which of course makes them even more blurry. Just to let you know ... the act of thinking is seriously exhausting, so the perfectionist in me, doesn't even care how long of a run on sentence that was above ... not even re-reading it; let alone proofing it 🤷‍♀️.

I wake up drenched every morning. The MS causes severe Heat Intolerance, so that must be why. The fact that the MS brings on these incredible hot flashes, which last like an hour ... I don't even want to imagine what they'll be like during menopause. I may (literally) ... "sweat to death"!

Anyway, I do hope you continue to feel better and regain your strength. Just remember ... listen to what your body tells you ... if it is tired, then you MUST rest! Trust me, take it from a "Type A Personality" ... that has been the largest new adaptation for me. All my autoimmune diseases "CONTROL" me as to the other way around! I hate it, but the more I fight to regain an ounce of control back, ... the diseases fight me back x3 and then I'm in big trouble!

Take it easy my dear friend,
