I may or may not have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but it seems likely. I have always had extremely low blood pressure which I think contributes to the almost constant fatigue I feel. The depression doesn't help either. I find working out helps; for one thing it moves the lymph around and also ramps up the metabolism. If you want you are very welcome to come work out with Tim and I sometime.

Hope you feel better soon .. *hug*

oh yes, I also have allergies to virtually everything including my beloved cats (no way they're going anywhere tho'). The allergies definitely contribute and it's hard to know when it's the allergies though.

I know I should exercise, and I try to do that, but it's hard to get started when so many parts hurt. I get a serious workout every time I perform with The Homespun Ceilidh Band, but it's so easy to overdo, and wind up paying for that for a while afterwards. I find I often overdo walking, because a) it doesn't feel like I'm doing that much, and b) gee, normal people can walk and walk and walk, right? But yesterday I walked a total of seven blocks (with stops at a couple of photo labs in between) and could barely walk or drive afterwards because my right knee and left heel hurt so badly. (On a good day, that wouldn't be enough walking to warrant comment.)

Getting out and seeing other people face-to-face more often probably wouldn't be a bad thing though, even if I fail to keep up with your workout.
