Welcome Ravenred,
There truly are a lot of good people on this site - some - like me - come and go a bit but that is a bit of the nature of this disease. On days where one feels good you just want to grab life by the horns and live it - other days that you get bummed out its time to drop in and get some support from others if only by reading!
I was DX in early spring - after years of thinking why am I sooo tired - facial problems and breathing and swallowing problems etc - my original Dr suggested I see a shrink - I got a new Dr and a real DX!
I love the outdoors - love to hunt and fish and just be outside - so for someone that has been very active this has been rough at times. Now, this past weekend I took two very nice deer with my archery equipment - earlier this year I thought I was finished - so you can do a lot but in smaller portions. This week now I have crashed a bit due to the over excercise from the past weekend. Just part of the cycle - enjoy the good days and get some hugs on the bad ones. Just remember you have friends bound by the same fate!
Randy
