I know the feeling Mik, tiredness and fatigue , I too was diagnosed 6 years ago and after leading a very active life, and now have trouble walking and writing, it's hard to accept, that's when the depression sets in, something else I have never before experienced. Hang in there God has plan for everyone. God bless

Welcome, Mik48. I don't know where you live in Texas, but I used to live in South Florida where the heat and humidity were killers. I also got it late in life (diagnosed at age 57) and it completely changed my life. Fatigue was much worse in the heat and humidity. Best of luck.
