Y useless I am still so tired I'm beginning to worry gotbuo today at 9.30 back in bed for 3pm slept untill 7 my family life is becoming an unorganised mess . I'm supposed to be gluten free because of really high antibodie I'm so tired I must be the num 1 best customer for takeaway . The docs really sicken me now I havnt even the energy to blow dry my hair never mind exercise . The only thing is it can't get any worse
