I’ve been struggling with motivation for quite a while. Not only with writing but with all things. Daily tasks seem to take all my energy and I fall asleep at the slightest moment of rest. It’s been very frustrating as our son is now just over nine months and he is full of energy from dawn till dusk. He’s great fun and I want to be able to keep up with him!!

Well finally I have found some answers to a few matters. Apparently I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wasn’t particularly surprised to hear it when the test results came back as I had wondered about it for quite a while. It’s nice to have it confirmed though and at least I know there’s a reason why I feel exhausted when I wake up in the morning!

Blood tests also showed I have a liver problem, very high cholesterol and low iron levels. I have to make an effort to eat well and take daily exercise to try and get my cholesterol down. I’m also taking multivitamins and fish oil capsules to try and boost my iron and “good” cholesterol levels.
