Wow, am I glad this thread was started! For me, the memory loss is not as bad as the fatigue. There are evenings when I can barely finish my meal before I am out so deeply my wife can't do anything to wake me. The first time this happened, I ended up in the ER. This can be really scary.

I have has so many exams and tests to figure out why I am getting so tired, and everything simply points back to the extreme pain. Fighting it just takes so much energy, I am just totally sapped by the time I get home at night.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I can relate to them all.

Love,

Mike
