Re: Tiredness

[Guest guest]

I have suffered from severe bouts of tiredness off and on for years.

Just this past weekend I had a 'bout'. I slept for almost 13 hrs both

Friday & Saturday night and was _still_ tired. I seem to be all right

now though.

The last time I had an extended period of sleepiness, I went to the

dr, fearing I wasn't getting enough oxygen or had sleep apnea or

diabetes or hypoglycemia or something. She did a _ton_ of bloodwork &

everything came back perfectly normal. She raised my dosage of meds

I'm on for depression & it fixed it instantly. I was so mad. I'm

weird and wanted a problem _besides_ me just being mental!

I notice the tiredness getting worse when I am cold for extended

periods of time, when I don't get enough nutrition - esp protein, when

it is winter, when I'm bored, or when I'm depressed.

It is kind of hard on my marriage sometimes because sleeping is

practically my #1 hobby & it's not exactly a 2-player game. I'll want

to go to bed at 9pm or earlier like a grade schooler!

umm...We have a bit of a weird schedule (up at 4a to get ready for work) but

sleeping is on of my favorite hobbies too. When I get home, a nap is top

priority. Also, days off include at least one nap. Sometimes I feel like a

slug but reassures me that I work hard all week so it's okay to get

some extra rest...we nap together so luckily that's not a problem. It is a

consolation that my AB co-workers seems exhausted all the time too.

I've had the opposite experience. When I was on Celexa, I was so

tired and sleepy that I could barely function, so I took Provigil. It

helped somewhat, but I still felt like I was in a constant stupor.

Then when I switched to Lexapro, I no longer had that horrible

sleepiness, so I no longer need the Provigil. Sexual sides (or any

sides for that matter) are pretty much non-existant on Lexapro. On

Celexa, all of my " sensitive areas " were completely numb. On Celexa,

I had no appetite at all, but on Lexapro it's normal. When I wasn't

on any meds, I craved carbs a lot. It's amazing how differently

these drugs affect people. Before Lexapro came out, I wanted to try

Wellbutrin because I'd heard from other people on these discussion

groups about how it's energizing and libido-enhancing, but for some

reason my doc didn't want me to take it. Thankfully the Lexapro is

doing the job for now.

Hi Helen,

Probably not the Naproxen just the fatigue of JRA.His body is probably trying to play catch up from when he felt really ill.I don't know what time you posted this but Nick might wake up with a virus or something.Might just not be fealing well.Fatigue is a very common systemic symptom not just found in systemic disease.He is most likely fine,just tired.

helen,

Hi I don't post very much, but when my daughter was first diagnosed in Jan of this year and they got her on the Naprosyn and she slept alot too. The doctors told me not to worry about it because it was a combination of the drugs and her being able to rest without a whole lot of pain. Also, when Brittany started on the Naprosyn she was still feeling bad and her appetite decreased alot so that made her stomach whoosy. You probably already know this but make sure is eating good meals with the Naprosyn or at least have him drink milk with it. It seemed to help Brittany when she wasn't eating well and I would give her milk.

Hi,

Periodic fatigue is an issue for a lot of people with autoimmune conditions, adults and kids alike. We used to joke around with that he was almost like the character from that story, Rip van Winkle. He just doesn't seem to

have any extra energy at all, when his arthritis is most active. At it's worst,

he was running high fevers regularly and his hemoglobin count was very low.

Either of these might be reasonable explanations. Sleep might also be a sort

of welcome escape from the pain, if one is able to. I like how explained

it ~ as finally being able to rest, without a lot of pain, if the meds are

working well enough.

Take Care,

Georgina

hi

the tiredness or fatigue is one major problem with she might go to the mall with my sister saturday and feel great by sunday morning shes so fatigued for 3 days

and lays around and complains shes tired

this is another reason shes on homebound

i think when shes around my sister or her dad she doesnt want to say slow down i am feeling tired so she over does it

for now shes doing ok shes 4 on the pain scale which is good

her SED was 6 which is good in a way but when she flared last time her SED rate was 3 so in her case the SED rate isnt a range option

how are yalls kids doing?

Robbin

[Guest guest]

hi yall

wanted to know if any of yall have tried the B complex vitamin for the tiredness/fatigue if so what was the results

reason is had me buy some and she is trying it for a week anyway

my hubbys doctor gives him the b-12 shot about every 2 weeks and also my step dad they say it helps them have more energy but neither have JRA they are on coumadin ( hubby and step dad) they both get the b-12 shot

Barrie,

Just remember, what goes in must come out. You have changed a lot of things for the better, so you need to give your body a chance to adjust and do some clearing out. The candida die-off alone can make you tired and irritable, but add to that cutting back on caffeine, and you have a recipe for serious crankiness. Also your liver is trying to detox from the alcohol, etc. Good job on making all those hard changes. Now just drink a ton of water and herbal tea and get a lot of sleep until things sort themselves out. Best,

P.S. I received your two messages at the same time. If you want to delete one of them, you have to go into the homepage of the group, open the message, and then hit delete. (We can do this with our own messages only.)bminney2002 <b_minney@...> wrote:

Barrie,

The Kefir may not quickly assert probiotic control. Prebiotics do

that. Try cod liver oil for the skin. You might be too high on omega-

6 oils.

Also, the skin damage may relate to low antioxidant suport; I note no

mention of antioxidant support. When a person is detoxing there is a

huge energy load that can be handled with glutathione precursors and

other antioxidants. The glutathione produced by undenatured whey and

selenium supports PhaseII liver detox function.

Have you done a series of liver flushes? If the liver is physically

blocked it is recirculating some of the toxin load.

regards,

Duncan Crow

[Guest guest]

Hi Duncan

Many thanks for the reply. I think these forums are so helpful and

supportive.

I should have added that, yes I am taking prebiotics and Omega3 fish

oil capsules. However, being new to this I didn't understand your

comments about antioxidents and glutathione precursors. Sorry if I'm

being dense!

I am planning a liver flush in about three weeks and am preparing

this by taking 1oz each of olive oil and lemon juice at night.

Many thanks.

Hi Barrie,

Antioxidants are a way to reduce free radical damage and toxin load

in the body. Most damaged tissue is caused by these, but antioxidants

also combat damage due to radiation and UV exposure.

The liver flush you're doing recommends that? No preparation like

that is needed; it would be better to take phosphoric acid, coingrass

or apple juice. Try this flush:

Lorri,

This issue was just discussed in my house today...My 8 year old (with CVID and

ADHD) gets very tired the week before his treatment. He also tells me he is

tired all the time! I must say, you wouldn't know it most of the time...he is

active and everything. But just this past week, the teachers were saying how he

is not focused AT ALL and having a lot of trouble in class. (He is on Ritalin

and I thought that meant he needed a higher dose.) Well, no. I realized he was

due for his treatment and asked the teacher to sit tight and let me know how he

is after the IVIG. Guess what? Note home today that he had a great day, very

focused....and I almost increased his ritalin! What a mistake that could have

been.

At what point do the rest of you experienced IVIGers let the Dr. know that the

tiredness may be a problem. I would hate to go to every 3 weeks...because he

does stay active...but it may be a problem in school that last week. Just

curious.

I don't think it's your daughter! We don't really know what our kid's bodies

are constantly fighting. And the IVIG alone....isn't that in itself a foreign

body that they may fight.??? All this constant fighting has got to cause them

fatigue! Whether is is written in the medical books or not....It's There!

Ashton still complains about tiredness, especially right before her IVIG.

She receives it every two weeks. When she was every three weeks, the last week

prior was terrible. She was the only child that cried going into first grade

because, " Why won't we get naps? " We didn't know what was wrong with her

until two years ago. The IVIG has made amazing changes, but she still has

" issues " .

I am blessed, my husband understands how much time it takes to deal with

insurance, doctor apts, school, ex-husband, and the " normal stuff " " like

laundry,

cleaning, etc.

We too are going through the insurance woes. My ex holds the insurance for

the girls. They won't even talk to me. I worked in insurance for years. It

is the most frustruating thing. When you get an intelligent person, give them

compliments, because it is a rare thing. We have a huge bill from last fall.

I hope he gets it worked out. They can't even get the normal things right.

I am just watching all money flow right out the window. The truck's

transmission is done, we replaced it last year, the car is in the shop and needs

$$$$

done, Ashton is still having mouth and teeth problems, $$$$$$$$$$, Marina has

a broken wrist,....

I better go, the list is getting to me.

Tiredness is one of the symptoms of many arthritic conditions. Once

your other symptoms reduce, such as pain, the tiredness should reduce

also. You are in the prime time window for a Herx reaction. If

you have RA, you should start to get much better in a couple of months.

I would caution everybody about taking supplements

with your meds. I wanted to take Ginko Biloba with my

meds (Lex., metformin, aspirin, oxybutin)and a vitamin

B complex with my meds. First I checked with a

pharmacist and he said I should not take the Ginko but

the vitamine B complex was ok. It's better to be safe

Yes there are dangers.
