I just thought I would let you know, as is sometimes the case, Teri (@windwalker) has not been active with us for several months.
But I can let you know that, absolutely, BE can affect your energy level - even if you do not have an active infection. So, be kind to yourself and rest as you must. For 2 weeks, I thought that I was my old self again, and filled my time with way too many active days. Then reality caught up with me, and I had a day when I could barely stay awake. I remembered that the old me is gone for good, and slept for most of 24 hours. This week I am going to carefully measure out my activities so I don't crash again.
I have learned that somewhere between 4 and 5 pm is the end of my day, and I must have dinner planned and ready to go. If we have an evening date, I may even take a nap!

Thank you Sue for seeing to it that my post had a reply. Wish we all felt better than we do....however...., as with all things, changes happen and there are always good days and bad days in many aspects of life. In reality I think it is a combination, for me, of different factors that have often during the week, day, caused me to feel as if I am dragging and have to sit down....the BE and including nights when I couldn't sleep through the night or couldn't fall back to sleep. Again, thanks for letting me know that yes BE can affect our energy level.
Wishing you good days with the energy to do some of the things you not only need to do but want to do.
