When high school junior Madeline Uretsky sits down to do her homework, she knows it won’t be as easy as it once was.
Uretsky, 17, of North Reading, used to be able to plow through her school work before rushing off to sports practice. Now, she has to re-read complicated passages so she can understand them, and she tires easily. These days, her athletic activity consists of trying to stay on the treadmill longer than the last time without feeling dizzy.
