Idiopathic Polyneuropathy: Do you have fatigue?

I may be occasionally more tired than I was before my diagnosis of IPN, but my biggest complaint is my lack of physical stamina. I'd always worked a very physical job, along with working around our home and my parent's home as well, so I was used to working 12-14 hour days, including some Saturdays. I did this for decades without thinking anything of it, but now I can't help my wife out in the yard for more than 5-10 minutes without having to sit and rest. It's 'frickn pathetic.

To help fight my fatigue my doctor said to drink an enormous amount of water like three liters a day and avoid other drinks like coffee and soda. It works!
