No, I don't have a journal. Too much effort, I guess.

What I noticed so far, and very quickly, is that I don't get that tiredness around 8:00 am anymore. I used to feel it while I was driving to work and now it's gone! I am now waking up ready to go, alert, and feeling pretty good. And it is making my eyes better. I was actually able to read the Sunday paper in the morning for the first time in about 3-4 years.

These two symptoms are the main ones that made realize the diagnosis was right. I have not been able to find anything else that had all my symptoms. One or two or several would always be missing. I have a better listing of symptoms with explanations, but I can't remember where I got it from. I list it out if you want.
