What's amazing to me with these type illnesses is the unbelievable distress - or lack of energy on the other side of the coin - that can be caused without the physical body giving out. There have been times when I thought my body was eventually going to give way and it didn't. I guess eventually it would happen but it's already surprising.Bob
