Ah, the question of ages for us folks!
Since I have a TBI (brain injury) also, my question often turns into "Next Week"?

Before the tbi, I used to fight and take a small dose of my meds (much smaller than now), I'd start the day with a warm whirlpool and a cup of tea, and off to work. Usually by 3-4, I dragging, time to get prone, and more meds, and I was good in an hour or so, until bedtime.

Now, and maybe because I've had this bear for so long, since 83, I have difficulty making decisions, and can just sit, or lay down, and the day goes by. It seems I've watched my life go by, and I've lost two business's and everything I owned, since my tbi, which also put my RSD, TOS, discs, etc, through the roof. I can't sleep and I can't stay awake. This was caused by a second auto accident.

None of us are lazy, you can tell by the guilt that you acquire when you get nothing done, that you're used to doing. Find the most comfortable way to get it done, because you can quickly offend those close to you. Caffeine helps me get moving, but it raises my pain level too. Two meds I know of, Provigal and Nuvigal, may be worth looking into. Ask your doc if it's appropriate, and ask for a sample. These are expensive.

And, remember to get your exercise! This is a 'Use it, or Lose it' disease! The more you sit around, the more this disease will keep you down, and none of us are getting younger.

And, also, set reasonable goals, but, set them!

Hope I helped, you'll get lots more.
