TOUCHED BY LYME: The difference between "normal tired" and "too tired to breathe"

Guest blogger Jennifer Crystal explores what “fatigue” can mean to a person with chronic Lyme disease.

A few weeks ago, there was a small fire in my apartment building which necessitated three separate evacuations between the hours of 2:00 and 5:00am. Needless to say, it was a long night, and no one got much sleep. The next day I felt buzzy and glazed over, the same feeling I used to get in college when I stayed up too late writing a paper. I was tired, but it was normal tired, not sick tired. It’s a difference Lymies can recognize all too well, but one that’s hard to distinguish when we talk about a general symptom of fatigue.
