Any time I'm feeling healthy, i.e. strong and energetic, not nauseous and weak. Even if I have to do a chore I'm not fond of, if I feel healthy and strong I'm aware of the feeling and want to hug it and have it last forever.
When I am healthy my favorite things are sex, cooking and eating, gardening and reading. (All of those in one day, makes for a perfect day)

When I feel great, the sun is shining, it's warm, I'm driving with the windows down and U2 on the stereo 9even better when my husband is with me)!

When I am not fatigued. It is rare, these days, for me to not be fatigued. I do not know why. I am off work today for this very reason.
-
Hope you sort it out soon cyco. I find I suddenly get tired now, but then I'll realise its just from all the running around I do now, working and lack of sleep !
-
Thanks Tamara. Previously I was exhausted because the beta blocker medication I was taking for my hypertension was tiring me out. Now, my sirolimus is causing tachycardia, and I am therefore constantly running at a heart rate of 110-130 beats per minute, even at rest. I guess that is like running at mid-peak exercise all of my waking moments, so it is no wonder I am tired!
Today my neph prescribed a different beta blocker, at a smaller dose, to help slow the heart rate and hopefully help with my marginally high blood pressure (which is not coming down enough with Amlodipine alone).
And yeah, the work days do make things tiring. When I add on my travel time (train and bus) my days are about 11 hours long all together. That's a damn long day for someone on all these medications with all these side effects. *moan, whinge* :rant;

- When I am with Sarah
- When I get to spend more than a weekend with Sarah

You sound like my kind of guy, Uniballer. I fish a lot and have a few "ponies" of my own. What kind do you have?
-
A 1999 35th anniversary edition. Its my first but definitely not my last. I fish a lot also, anything from perch to bass to blue marlin.
-
I have a 911 and a Miata. Here in Kentucky, it's bass (largemouth and smallmouth), hybrid bluegill, and catfish. Maybe you can come down sometime and fish with me. It beats the hell out of dialysis.
