Joan - For me, fatigue has nothing to do w sleep. It is a complete an utter physical fatigue that prevents me from doing one more thing.

One of the irritating things about this is that it is unpredictable. I don't know if I can miraculously "shop for 3 hours" like Debbie D. mentioned recently or if I will get ready and find out that I can't actually go at all!

When this happens (fatigue) all activities are stopped (yes I try to push on- bad idea) and I need to get flat- at least have my legs up on the couch. I let DH2B know that nothing can be required of me.

At home, he is very used to this. When others are involved it is more difficult. It is still my best policy to, "Stop before I drop."

I hope this helps,
