That is me exactly. Lately, since I've been on abx, I wake up

feeling pretty good. Then the afternoon hits me. I get achey,

tired, my joints hurt more, my ears ring, etc. Then I actually

start feeling decent again by late evening. Weird.

This has been the way for me for years. When I was still in work I used to

manage two days and on the third day couldn't get out of bed. I would say

it's a fatigue thing. You wake fresh, probably are a little more active than

you should be, and are burned out during the afternoon/evening...

At the moment I struggle to keep my eyes open at around 7pm so take a nap in

the afternoon when I haven't much to do. It's a case of resting until

bedtime then... It's a darn nuisance and I really don't know how I would

cope if I was on my own.

There is a name for part of this phenomenon. I think it is moon something if I

remember correctly.

For me I just tire out come afternoon time. AM is the best for all of us. I just

lay down for an hr. If I sleep fine, if I don't I still get body rest. This

seems to help thru the rest of the day.
