I'm so tired... how do you keep yourself motivated?

If your doctor won't order a 4 point saliva test for your adrenals (the only one that will give you a good picture of what's going on through out the day with your adrenals), then you can order it yourself through this lab, as well as other tests if you feel you need them as well:

Many doctors only want to do the blood test, which is fine if you only need to know what your adrenals are doing right at the moment the blood is drawn. That's why the 4 point saliva test is best, it will show what your adrenals are doing when you first get up, at noonish, at mid afternoon and just before bed. I was flat lined throughout the day, although I'm doing better now.

I didnt read this whole thing, I see it got pretty specific. (good!).

Back to the question-Keeping motivated is not easy.

Helps to think of what you can do once your feeling better. Goals, things you want to do.

Goals are different for everyone. Family, relationships, outdoor stuff, hobbies, social stuff, travel, jobs, whatever floats your boat. After 50, you start to make your "bucket list". I think I can do some of that soon, not all because of time and $. Some is better than none though.

I'm not old yet, but have endured DECADES with lyme, knowing others, without lyme, some younger, who have sadly already past beyond life earth... I miss them everyday. ....

But I'm still above ground, not six feet in a hole, all of us are.

Funny movies and naps are great in times like what your experiencing. Tomorrow is another chance to get better. Getting ideas here will help that happen.
