Re: What can be done for FATIGUE?

April 10, 2000

Hi all,

I ment to send the message to all of you originally so Dina you will have

this twice, sorry. Remember me with the broken blood vessel in the eye

and the doctor who threw me out of her office. My eye is better. All clear

and looks great. I would like to know also what to do for fatigue. Can

barely make it thru the day most of the time. I work 4 days a week and sing

in a sweet adeline chorus and am very busy. Try to get 8 hours sleep but

wake up constantly during the night. I have cut my hours at work from 40

to 32 so I could still say with the chorus. Otherwise, it would be too

much. It was too mucy. When I went to work the day after chorus rehearsal

my body was much and my brain was mush.

Please let us know if anyone has any advise.

Thank

,

Although I have not been dx with Chiari YET. MRI in May. I have about80%

of the symptoms except headache and constant muscle pain. I am 49 now and

have been sick since 1992. For 2 years I fought my symptoms, worked a 40hr

week, super Mom, and volunteered. In 1994 I was dx. with severe depression

and extreme anxiety and told to stop work. I have never returned. It took

me 3yrsto realize I could no longer be the person I was. If I tried my body

would shut me down ie> dizziness, lightheadedness, extreme fatigue. Now I

sleep 10hrs a night, nap for 1-2 hrs in afternoon, do the best I can

withhousework, and do do some volunteer work but not on a regular basis.

Result, I feel soo much better and my symptoms are not as extreme. Still

there but better. I now have the time and energy to enjoy my family and my

life. It was a struggle to go on one salary but we have done it. My advise

to you is- do as your body tells you to do - sounds like you need to slow
