Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Lou As I read your note to , I noticed you talked about Sam needing to sleep after breakfast or dinner but not lunch. I just had to let you know, as if this will come as a surprise about how different everyone reacts to MSA. My father-in-law only reacted at lunch time. Never breakfast and almost never dinner but always lunch. When he ate lunch, you'd better have him where he was going to stay because if you tried to move him, down he went. He couldn't function after he ate lunch, no matter what you tried to do. It didn't matter if it was a small meal or a large meal, high protein, low protein. If we went someplace to eat, we carried him out every time. Just one of those funky things that seem to go along with MSA. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Sally--yes, this is a funky disease, all right. I feel a little better now that I know that these extreme fatigue symptoms after a meal are felt by others--misery loves company, I guess. I don't enjoy eating out as I never know what Sam's reaction will be when we are finished and ready to leave, but we usually go at lunchtime. This group is great--a constant source of information and handholding.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Sally, Exactly! Lunch does it more than breakfast or dinner. Sometimes I fuzz out after breakfast, but I suspect that's more due to medications. But I often crash after lunch. It's not at all unusual for me to need to crash for an hour after having lunch. I feel bad about it, but am glad I work from home. I always make up the time for work, and have discussed this with my manager. Interesting to hear that other face this as well. Regards, =jbf= B.
