Due to health issues and the medications that I take to manage them, I am really scattered in my waking hours, unable to focus my intent, and my energy is very low.

I am sure the problem has a lot to do with the pain pill that I am taking. I'm not depressed, which is a listed side effect, but there is an associated listless quality that is definitely present. It's weird because everything is normal during my dreams. They are intricate, and energized and I am my normal self, but it all disappears when I wake. I may have to try other medications, but it took us a long time to find one that helped manage the pain, so I am reluctant to start over if I don't have to... I'm doing what I can with nutrition, juicing, and tart cherry to reduce pain and strengthen my body, but my normal energy and meditation tools aren't working because of my lack of focus.

So, if you have any suggestions, or energy you can send my way, I would appreciate it very much. I've never been a person who gets bored so I don't know if that's what this feeling is, but this listless marking time is getting old.
