LOOKING FOR SOME HELP!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

I am 8 months post op. I have for the past 2 weeks or so have little to no

energy. I am taking all my vitimins every day. I had my blood work done last

week and wont hear anything for probably another week. Does any one have any

suggestions on what I can do to give myself a burst. I SWEAR I almost thought

about getting some dexatrim anything to get me up and moving. As soon as I

sit down which lately has been alot of the day I fall asleep every time. I

hate this. I hear of every one having so much energy well that is not the

case for me. Maybe I could try some power drinks but i dont know if i can

tolerate those they taste so terriable. Any suggestions would be great, and

please let me know if any of you have experienced this. I hope i am just low

on something so I can take it and feel better. Thanks for any help you can

give me.

Have you investigated the posibility of depression? If not, I

would. You sound like me just before I was diagnosed. Good news is,

it's very responsive to meds.

Good Luck.

Hi there,

It really doesn't take all that long for the lab to run your tests.

if your energy is that low you might want to light a fire under your

doc and see if anything was abnormal. There are so many causes for

loss of energy as you describe it. No way to fix something until you

know it is broken.

Can you call and ask for your lab results? If they are totally

notmal then there are other many questions to ask that can help to

figure this out. However, this is something that I'd think your PCP

would be concerned about and want to help you figure out.

Trying to override the messages from the body that it is tired and

wants rest isn't always wise. When I feel that way I try and give my

body max rest for a few days and see if the feeling subsides. If

not, then I too would start the process of trying to nail down the

elusive cause of this fatigue.
