@celia16 For those of us with exhaustion and lack of stamina, it’s been a long slow road to convince the medical establishment that this is definitely not a mental health issue. Many, but not all, health care workers now understand that something is physically wrong with our bodies. Tales of marathon runners, etc. who can barely climb a flight of stairs abound on the internet and in newspapers. I say to my family and doctor “I do get discouraged, but I’m not depressed (and I’ve experienced major depression so I understand the difference). Glad you are feeling better…keep it up!
