To Pat Re: Fatigue with CP

[Guest guest]

Pat,

yes, the energy decline and the range of emotions are normal

for CP. The decline in energy is due to several factors:

chronic pain and malnutrition (from not being able to eat

and also from malabsorption). The range of emotions is

normal for any chronic illness. I've been through them and

still have alot of different emotions. I have a psychologist

to help me understand and deal with this illness. This group

also is a huge help in dealing with the emotional aspect of

this disease. I've learned that I am not alone and I have a

large second family here who are always willing to listen or

give me advice or just to say hello to. Welcome to our

family and I hope you find the help you need here, just like

I did and still do.
