My stinking back keeps spasming though. All over in different spots. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this too. It just plainly sucks.Tammy in Texas <tamatha_tx> wrote: Yeah, at 37 I have to lay down after a simple shower. More times than not, I have gotten out of the shower in tears.Trista <tabeloe37> wrote: Tammy, I wouldn't worry. We all just jump in when we have something to say or ask. In the summer I do overheat. Any amount of warmth does me in. I have a button on my dryer that turns the air cool to keep my natural curls from frizzing. I use it for that, but more for not getting too hot. I dry my hair mostly with my finger on that button. LOL. I have a lot of hair, so I have to make sure I have the energy to stand in there 5 minutes. It totally disgusts me that at 37 I can't even take a freaking shower, without getting worn out. Tammy in Texas <tamatha_tx> wrote: Do you overheat trying to dry your hair? I did on Saturday. 1st time for that. It was cool on Saturday and I had to go outside to try and cool down. Drying my hair was useless as it was wet again around my face from sweating! I did not mean to take this strand away from Kate so I hope the questions I am asking on the subject matter are helpful to her as well as everyone else.Trista <tabeloe37> wrote: Tammy, I can so relate to this. A lot of days I don't have the energy to shower. If I do, then I have to rest with my hair in a towel for awhile before I can dry it. My arms are weak and tired and just blow drying my hair is a huge chore. And some days the fatigue is so bad, that just sitting here at the computer is too much. Just holding my head up to see the screen. I take Amantadine like Challis. I hope you find what works for you soon. Tammy in Texas <tamatha_tx> wrote: I am so wiped out with my fatigue. I can manage to load dryer, start a wash load, take dryer load to bedroom and then have to sit or lay down for at least 20 minutes. Then I can fold the load and deliver to various rooms and then it is break time again. I am really fighting it! I'm not on anything for it and have a neuro appt in March. Guess we will discuss it then.Kate Rothschild <katelloydkidzoptonline (DOT) net> wrote: Dear Group, Do you fight your fatigue, or just roll with it? I don't know if the Gamma Knife is wiping me out? All I know is even after sleeping for about 2 hours today, I'm ready for bed. I have heard very mixed things about provigil----is anyone on it? Challis, what is the other med your neuro gave you for fatigue? I need something. I had been on the provigil, but then heard something about it; I recall we discussed it on group, but now my brain has wiped it out. take care all, and sweet dreams, kate Never miss a thing.
