Re: Susiecue/Energy

[Guest guest]

Good luck on selling your house, and all the work that

entails.

I have read all the posts about lack of energy and it

just dawned on me that this is one of the things I

recently discussed with my rheumy. (How soon they

forget!) No energy and no brain cells!

Anyway, I asked him why I was always SO tired and he

gave me a look that said, " DUH " ! He said it is

because I have a disease that my body is constantly

fighting, lots of inflammation that my body is

constantly fighting. He does not find it strange at

all that I have what I call " cement fatigue " ....where

I just feel as if I am encased in a cement block and

have no energy to move. I do agree with Liz, however,

that even a short walk helps with this problem. Not

all day maybe, but it does make me feel better for a

bit.

We are going to the coast on Saturday, and as much as

I love the Oregon coast, I am dreading it in a way.

Just the thought of a trip makes me so tired that I

don't want to go. But, I am going anyway, and I know

I will enjoy it.

So.....all of us with loss of energy need to remember

that our bodies are at war....with themselves....and

it takes lots of energy to battle this disease.

Love to all, squeek
