Hi Pam.
It has also been my experience that the fatigue is cumulative. And you have endured alot more treatment than I.
I also notice that I have most energy in the morning and have tried to focus my activities then.
I know what you mean about unfinished projects. Interestingly, one of the first things I thought about when diagnosed was all the unfinished business I had put off. Including selling a home full of "stuff." We finally began to tackle that chore last week. I found a good book that helped motivate me. "Its All Too Much" It addresses being able to let go of things and clear out the clutter. That has always been a problem for me. Can you identify things that are disposable and have a charity come and get them? Maybe you could ask a friend to help sort things WITH you. That way you are not asking them to do it FOR you.
Is it possible to pay for a one time cleaning service? Just to feel better about your immediate surroundings. As Steph mentioned earlier, that at least makes me get surfaces clear enough for them to clean.
I'd forget the scary basement for now!
Keep the faith.
Bonnie
