Re: Help with chronic fatigue

[Guest guest]

My fatigue gets bad after I eat a meal.  I have started drinking water with caffiene in it.  Aquafina Alive Energize orange-lime flavor. It helps keep me awake when I work 16 hour shifts at the hospital. Sent from my iPhone

I usually a really up beat person and get stay positive through

anything even when I had really intense itching and would scratch

until I made myself bleed but for the past few months my fatigue has

been so bad I have hardly any energy to do anything my whole body

feels soooo heavy yet I am losing loads of weight so my body shouldn't

feel that heavy.I can't eat very much as it hurts way to much and I

have been told that its down to me being riddled with stones inside

and that they want to open me up re move all stones and re move my

gall bladder as well so I am waiting to have that done but surely that

wouldn't cause my fatigue to get worse and for my body to feel heavy???.

Haven't had any bloods done for a few months now so don't know how

things are on the liver side.I going to my gp tomorrow as its really

starting to get me down now and I am finding it so much harder to look

after my two boys so wish me luck.

I could work the 16 hour shifts without a

problem at one time – even worked a 48 hour shift once when we had

computer issues – all of this after being diagnosed with PSC and

UC. Fatigue never bothered me at all until I was diagnosed with gall

stones in June 2007. I had severe fatigue until I had my transplant in

October. -Joy you describe it well. I remember working in the

yard the day before Labor Day and did not think I would be able to put one foot

in front of the other. The gall stones may not cause the fatigue, but it

will certainly contribute to it. If a stone is blocking the flow of bile

in anyway, then the increased biliruben will cause fatigue. Also, any of

the liver enzymes, when they are too high, can cause fatigue. My GI told

me to call him whenever I started having fatigue. I asked him how I would

know that it was fatigue and not just being tired. He assured me that I

would know – that it was not like any tired I had ever experienced.

He was right. I hope that your doc ordered Labs.

Your symptoms sound like how I felt before they Diagnosed my B-12

deficency. Maybe they could test your Vitamin levels.

Hi thanks for your answers just been to my gp and he as good as said

its because I am lazy I can tell you I really felt like crying but I

just said maybe I am but humour me and check my bloods please so he

has wrote me out a card to have bloods done I know this sounds wrong

but please all pray that something shows on my bloods to give a reason

as to why I feel like this at the moment.I don't think I could cope if

nothing shows and I am branded as lazy as I am really struggling to do

anything at the moment something must be wrong

[Guest guest]

thanks I hope so to

[Guest guest]

Do you know what he tested for, becaue if he di not test your live

function levels, vitamin levels, and a few other things everything

might come back okay. Have you spoken to your hepatologist?

fbc

esr

haemotemies {or something like that really can't read his writing }

u+g

lft+ggt

I am not sure what all of these test are. Are you in the US or

another COuntry. If in the US

LFT would most like be Liver Fuunction

ESR - if I remember correctly has something to do with inflamation

THT - might be thyroid function, though I have never heard of it

called that, but testing thyroid would make sense for fatigue

The others I am not familiar with, Sorry

Hi -Joy

If you were being lazy you would not have even bothered to go and see a

doctor, you would be lying on the couch in your dressing gown!!!

I too hope your blood tests can show something up.

Its your winter at the moment, I know I feel a lot more tired in the

winter than summer, could this be the same for you?

Best wishes
