Hi Marcus,
I'm glad you are feeling good and can do most everything. I wish I could have
more energy at times. My doctor is interested in what everyone is taking. If
you wouldn't mind could you let me know what your doctor has you on. Also
Marcus could you tell me your age. Maybe that is the difference. I'm going to
be 50 this year. Take care and thank you.
Your friend from Denver, Alan

It was good to hear from you although im sorry to hear you've had
such a bad time of it! I was diagnosed last Novemeber after a very
similar experience to yourself. Luckily having being diagnosed very
quickly and put on the right medication I am now leading a very
active and normal life which is unbelieveable compared to how i was 4
months ago. I only very occassionally get a bad day when i feel
drained of energy but that i probably just as much to do with my very
busy job and lifestyle. As long as i take care of myself and know
when to slow down i have been fine but i must admit dehydration is a
problem - i just have to remeber to drink a lot of water.

Keep in touch if you want a chat or have any queries although like
yourself i am also very new to this disease.

take care

Marcus

too. Doctors didn't know what I had and when they finally figured it
out I was almost dead. I was kind of like a ginnie pig for doctors
that have never seen it and for studing. You too have a noble
profession. Thank you. Yes I am taking care of myself and drinking
gatoraid and other things. I was just able to eat something tonight
and it feels like a lead weight in my stomach. I hope it stays down
and I hope I can make it at work. Take care.
