@parus- Good morning. It's been a while. It's very good to see you here! Many things contribute to fatigue, as you well know. But if you are fatigued by being fatigued then fatigue has become a vicious cycle for you. For me when this happens it's because I haven't moved a lot. It means that I have done nothing about exercising. It means that I haven't done anything about pain or getting help for it. It means that I have worried to much, am stressed, or ill. I know what you have written about your continued pain. I assume that this is the culprit. I wish that I had an answer for you! Has there been any new news from your pain manager?
My mug shot is always floating around too much! I just grin and bear it. But I too do not think that I take great pictures! I am my worst critic, for everything. Aren't we all?
Other than fatigue and pain how have you been? How is that gorgeous grandson of yours? Is he in school this year?

@merpreb I think about the arthritis commercial stating "it takes energy to make energy". True and also laughable on some levels. I find myself picking and choosing how to use my time. Mostly I don't feel like doing anything and typically I don't do much.
Grandson is in pre-K for around 3 hours 5 days a week. I usually have him once or twice a week. He has reached the stage of mostly hanging out. Independent as a hog on ice he is!!
I come to the connect community and see 99+ comments I am overwhelmed. Do the best I can.
My neck has been giving me fits again. The rhizotomy is to last up to a year. I pretty much stay in my woman's cave and don't care to be sociable. I don't feel depressed-more of a generalized malaise.
Maybe I need to try and come hang out here more-sometimes logging on is even too much of a hurdle.
Not particularly excited about warmer weather. Uh, does sound like some depression is lurking. Hadn't even thought of that as I always have some level of depression.
Your input is appreciated and definitely shed some light.
How are things with you? I recall you were absent for a while.
