I did not want any ill affects from CLL so I requested medication after 10 months and my WBC count was 76,000. I had learned that those bad cells can harm a person's body and cause other ill affects? My doctor was not very helpful since our meeting were about 5 minutes each time? I continued to visit the gym 3 times a week and jog and I was 72. It took me a few years to feel any fatigue but I had thought this was from being tired after doing a lot of work or exercising? I realize tht we should pace ourselves and try to accomplish what we can do. Each month I think a person can do a little more to increase their active level to accomplish their task. I find myself busy in the morning and relaxing in the afternoon. This spring I found myself fatigued after weed cutting for 90 minutes where in the past I could work 2 hours and not be tired? After 30 minutes I am recovered and ready for more work but I do not push myself. I do take many vitamins and supplements and I eat healthy meals and I know this benefits my health. I hope you can have a happy and healthy future by discovering the means to have a better life. Celebrating Long Life (CLL)
