> Fatigue for me wound up being something my lazy brain was trying to pull on me.....I felt it, felt extremely tired like I had to nap all the time. But it was all a smoke screen....if I got involved w/projects at work and ignored the fatigue, it would soon evaporate and I actually felt *energized* from Lex. May not be the samr for you, but it's something to consider???

>I'm the same way! When I am doing something that is boring at work, I struggle to stay awake and can't ignore the fatigue. But if I am doing something more interesting or interactive, it's not as bad. I dread this coming week, because I have 2 and a half days of training to sit through. How am I going to stay awake?!?!
Oh, and I try to avoid caffeine because it adds to the anxiety.
