I'm exhausted every day! Sometimes, I wake up, take a shower, then feel as if I can't do another thing until I lay down again!

Hi Fran, Yes! That fatigue goes with the territory. I can hardly move most
days. I got a script for Adderall (speed) it is 20 mg. but I quarter it and take
only 5 mg. I do have A.D.D. but more importantly it gives me a little bit of
energy to enjoy life. I had to beg my dr to prescribe it to me. I told him that
life wasn't worth living if I cannot get off of the couch! My argument was for
quality of life, and he agreed.
