to re: fatigue

[Guest guest]

,

As you can see by the time of my post, I'm late getting to the posts. The

reasons

why....because I was too tired to get up this morning, and spent half the day in

bed. After

that I had a doctor's appoint which took up three hours (driving, office

waiting, etc). An

opportune time to discuss you earlier question about fatigue, tiredness, lack of

energy,

etc. I see that you've gotten many replies to this question but I just haven't

had time to

read them all yet. I'll just add my comments, which will probably be repeats of

something

that someone else has already told you.

Prior to my diagnosis of CP three years ago, fatigue and tiredness had been

constant

companions for about a year prior. I was always tired, always needing a nap,

and waking

up each morning feeling just as tired as when I went to bed.

The malabsorption of essential vitamins and nutrients caused by my undiagnosed

pancreatitis were the source of this problem. It happens to us all. With me, I

was having

to take a nap every afternoon. I just thought it was caused by my receding age

and the

fact that I was tired from running around after a young child.

If you can get yourself on a good combination of vitamins, especially A, D, E

and K, the

ones that we don't absorb anymore, and some good antioxidants, your problems

with

fatigue should all but go away. Take them daily, and within a few weeks you

should be

feeling as good as new.

Turns out the reason I was so dead today was that I'm nursing a slight sinus

infection and I

worked myself like a dog in the yard yesterday in the 95+ degree sun....I

believe the heat

index was 105 or something. Too much of that with a sinus infection was just

too much.

That's my comments. Now I'll get back to reading the posts to see what everyone

else had

to say. I'll post a list of some good vitamins and antioxidants after I've read

what everyone

else has to say. (smile)

With love, hope and prayers,

Thank you as always Heidi. I guess it's to be expected then? The

fatigue, tiredness and weakness. I'll be anxious to hear what my

blood test for anemia showed yesterday. I'll be very interested as

well in seeing what vitamins to take to try and derail this fatigue

and weakness.

Anyway, thanks again Heidi
