Interesting. Just experienced a first for me: I was accused of being drunk by a trio of teens on bicycles, I suppose because of my tottering gait. I wouldn't mind, but I've not toched a drop! (Honestly, ossifer.)

So tired!
@ 12 Mar. 2007 – 02:04:57 pm
Tired by name, tired by nature.
I've had a slightly more active few days, which has been wonderful. Caught up with an old friend for coffee on Thursday afternoon, and saw another friend on Friday. Have felt quite weary over the weekend and last night I conked out at 9.30. Slept for 11 hours and today feel ridiculously tired. Note: tired, not fatigued.
I differentiate tiredness and fatigue in my case, even though I know the words mean the same. in my case, I use fatigue to describe the various symptoms of the illness, and tired to mean the effect of other things, e.g. lack of sleep or more activity than I'm used to. The kind of tiredness everyone feels from time to time.
When the symptoms of the illness are worse, walking feels like walking knee-deep in honey (imagine it) and I sometimes have to consciously think about putting one foot in front of the other. It also includes mental effects: for instance, I can't think clearly and my emotions go haywire. And any sensory input – light, sound etc – makes me feel very queasy.
Today I feel tired, produced I think by doing a bit more than I'm used to. I hope this does not mean I'll see a return of the fatigue. As I'm currently looking after myself and think I've kept within safe limits of activity, I'm confident it won't lead to another bout of fatigue. Having said that, I am finding it difficult to think clearly today, but I think that's because I feel so sleepy after such a heavy sleep last night.
Fingers crossed!
