Thanks for taking time to respond so graciously. The truth is that my diagnosis is only very recent, and until now, I have just been debilitated from working any kind of regular job due to the fatigue, without hope of it ever changing. It will likely be a few more months until I really start feeling better.. so in the meantime, Steem feels like a Godsend of hope--even just a few hundred dollars a month would totally change things for me! xx
