Hey Jan - sorry about your friend. She sounds like my sister, who ironically I've already done battle with once today. For the most part things are okay but she doesn't know when to back down and she takes things personally that are completely unpersonal. Plus we have a complicated past which doesn't help. I hope you have a good trip today. I'm glad you got the extra sleep. Insomnia is really torturous sometimes.

I definitely suspect I have chronic fatigue. I'm tired no matter what happens. And not just a sleepy tired, but a full-body weighted-down fatigue that feels like I'm constantly walking in molasses up to my chest, against the current. And that's on a good day. The thing is I don't know if it's because of something like fibro, because sleep issues and fatigue are two of the possible symptoms, or if it's in a class of its own. I plan to explore this more because there is nothing in any of my tests that I do that ever comes back to suggest it's something else. I also have hypothyroidism but that's been stable for a while. And I have sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP for a few years now. Having to wear that ridiculous mask certainly doesn't help anything.
