Hi Jeff; Not sure what icks means? From Canada and I think you mean Yukee, Not feeling so good!!! Or when you get up from a hangover, you feel yukee slow. Energy has not been a problem for me, but I go to sleep by 8:30 -9:00 for a wake up time of 6:00 a.m. I think sleep is really good for us. Walking 5-6 km per day, and as RR36 Richard mentioned, that after a good walk, I feel much better, than starting gate. I am on clinical trials with other new meds, and with major thanks, the side effects are down to zero. I hope the results of this clinical trials, continues for 30+++ years.
Keep smiling and stay happy, Best Regards, John 10, Toronto

Hi Jeff8

I’ve been trying to discipline myself to lay down for at least an hour or two during the day. I am very blessed and lucky to be able to do that so come one or 1:30 PM I am off the grid. Cell phone goes off. Well I tell Siri to turn on, do not disturb. but I do have my emergency contacts on bypass so that if they need to reach me they can.

I also share my location with my friends and my daughter. At least they can see I’m home. So God willing anyone wants to do a well check on me they can just send the police right on over.

I generally return phone calls once I’m done napping. With rest comes healing.

If you have any way of blocking out time for yourself during the day, I suggest that you do it!

Hope this helps

Many times eating supper puts fuel in my tank. I feel better then.

I feel icky most afternoons too; Mornings are tolerable and I try to get things done before the Ickies move in. I take a short nap and my headache formula tablet; like an Excedrin. I get up ( about 30-60min later ), and go start dinner. I seem to feel better starting about 6pm or so? It's just a strange routine, most days. Sometimes I can fight the icks, just gut out the clumsiness, go outside to breathe, take that tablet, and continue......some times.. Ickies, I connect to fatigue; lose some coordination, dexterity, just completely unmotivated. I haven't heard that term since I was a kid lol

Nap time comes at 2PM!
