chronic muscle pain (and believe me, pain means pain, like a knife in your articulations), immune system dysfunction (asthma, arthritis), enlarged lymph nodes, unrefreshing sleep, tired and wired.

Current solution : see the doctors often (it makes me feel safe), tai chi twice a week + chi kung routine every day. When I'll be in better shape, I'll start swimming and running again. But the more you spend on yourself, the less you spend on family which is quite a dilemma. I eat vegetables and much less meat but can't stay away from sugar :-). I don't drink coffee/alcohol, I don't smoke (so the usual quick fix don't apply for me).

Believe me : don't ever get in that kind of problems. Every day is like half a day : you don't enjoy your life and it's borderline depression/burn out for months.
