be careful about reading drug side effects. here is how that info is collected:

patients enrolled in the clinical trial are sat down and asked if they're feeling ANYTHING negative at all.

let's say you lifted something heavy yesterday, and today you go in for your clinical trial interview. they asked if anything, ANYTHING, is wrong, and you say your back is sore.

so guess what? that goes into the "side effects" section for the drug because it can't be ruled out as NOT drug related.

don't get me wrong - drugs have side effects. obviously. and many are directly from the drug. however, it's important to understand that this isn't black and white.

the best example is Allegra 30mg (pediatric dose). accidental injury is listed as a side effect.

what do 6 year old kids do? run around and bump into things and fall, etc etc etc. but when the mom's of the kids were asked if anything, ANYTHING, is wrong with their kid, of course they replied "accidental injury."

so just keep this in mind when reading side effect profiles.....

I can completly sympathize. I am a HORRIBLE procrastinator. The dishes don't get done until I am forced to drink coffee out of a Glad-ware container. The laundry gets washed when I am down to the last two unmatching socks.
I chalk my behavior up to my constant feeling of exhaustion, although some people may view that as a cleverly devised excuse for not wanting to do chores. However, I do work and by the end of the day, (plus all the treatments,) all I feel like doing is popping a can of soup in the microwave and hitting the sack.
I can say that the chores go undone much longer when I am feeling crapy, but on that rare day when I do feel energetic I take that opportunity to get at least some things done. The down-time is much more relaxing when you dont have to worry about all the stuff you are not doing!

I am a bad procrastinator myself. Stared loooooooonnnnnnng before i went on antibiotics so i know that isnt the cause. I cant imagine an antibiotic can cause procrastination. Depression yes, but procrastination i dont know about. Could it be possible you are depressed and just dont want to do anything? I tend to get lazy and dont feel like cleaning or picking up after myself, but at some point my apt. starts to look like a frat house , Thats when i will go on a cleaning spree. I'm a lot like Heather in this area....

I'm not like this all of the time, but i find it very easy to put things off till later when i have the energy or desire to do it.
Try not to stress too much about what doesnt get done in one day. Rome wasnt built in a day. Chances are whatever you failed to do was able to wait anyway. ( unless we are talking your meds and treatments)
Allow yourself to pace yourself, we arent 21 anymore and simply cannot do what we could at that age anymore..lol..

I've had some issues during the past year and I attribute it to feeling overwhelmed and sometimes I really am too tired to do as much as I need to. I've even limited my time on this site to just skimming during my once a day treatment.

Exercise is my area of anxiety, I don't feel I do enough. These days I'm just working it in whenever I can and I've accepted that I'll have to walk around sweaty sometimes until I have the opportunity to shower. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I also had some unresolved medical claims that were stressing me so this past week I made some threats to report issues to peoples managers and now things are getting resolved. When it comes to cleaning up, if I'm tired I do whatever I can in 5 minutes and just pick the worst area. When things pile up I get overwhelmed so even a half-@ss effort is better than nothing.

One minute left on my vest so time to go. I hope you work through this and find a way to simplify your life. Feel better.
