I understand you not wanting to go places, I feel the same way, it's like, OK, take a shower, rest, do make-up? No, I guess I will go natural today if I want to be able to hold the steering wheel..LOL

Most days are OK, but like today, I went to Wal*Mart because mentally I was feeling great but it took me 3 hours to do the shopping for tonights dinner, I mean thats crazy So now I am resting for 2 hours and will cook an easy meal of burgers, then lay and rest again before clean-up.

This sucks indeed but remember the good days and it helps make it through the bad {at least for me}
Joan, was your thymus tissue visible on the outside of your chest? I have an area about 4"x3" that feels like a fatty pone and is right over my sternum.
