I am new and just posted some of my story in someone else's post. My fatigue and weakness has really destroyed the life that I had, and has
created much depression. I am barely active, my mind is constantly in a fog, and can't foresee ever being able to pursue any of my passions or hobbies. I often cannot spend time with friends. I can't imagine it ever getting better but only worse and I am 50 years old. I fee like my health is fading and going downhill rapidly. So there ya go! That's how I feel... Kinda hopeless.

I am 55 and pretty much feel the same. I am tired more than 98% of the time and on those rare occasions I usually over do. I pay the price! But what do you do? I tell people my mind does not work and I can't remember, even the things I did just yesterday.

I have to push myself to do anything, and depression and weakness plays a big part for me. People say to exercise, and I get short of breath taking a shower, sweeping the floor, or washing the dishes. Not sure how I would exercise and what about the next day or so?

Extreme heat and cold are horrible for me, I hurt all over or want to pass out. I would like to live where the weather is more tolerable for my body. I also forgot to mention I have Sjogren's, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, and a few more problems.

Trying to finish up working till January 31st, 2022 so I can retire. Sure seems like a long was off sometimes.
