Re: Looking for some advice....

August 30, 2003

It happens. Went to bed about 12:30 last night. Dragged my sorry bottom out

of bed at 3pm today. Only cuz Priscilla started munching my wrists &

nostrils and really insisted those eyes had to come open.

When I drifted in & out, I figures, at least asleep, nothing hurts.

Any offers of cheese to go with my whine are gladly accepted. Brie, please.

, I've been tested, and do not have sleep apnea. I am a very

restless sleeper, but when I did the sleep study they found no

explanation for it. I've been that way since I was a kid. I would

wake up under the bottom sheet, or on the floor, or my head would be

at the foot of the bed. I also talk in my sleep. Geez, it seems I

have more energy when I sleep than when I'm awake! Also, nope, not

preggers (thank God). As for the exercise it was about 15 minutes on

the treadmill and then the Curves circuit. I was about halfway

through and felt so sick to my stomach. Thanks for the reply.

exactly does exercise make you sick to your stomach... that's a new

one on me... are we talking about walk-around-the-block exercise, or

running on the treadmill for 10 miles?

.... I just went and grabbed my bottle of iron.... it's

Carbonyl iron!! What did you switch to? I have a hard enough time

remembering to take my vites, at least when I do take them I want

them to be effective. Can someone give me a schedule of what they

take as far as vitamins and supplements go? I'm a proximal.

Ever considered that it might be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. (AKA CFS or ME)

The symptoms fit to a " T " ...and usually nothing shows on blood work. Exercise

makes it worse. I spent just about 3 years in bed with it along with the

Fibromyalgia that went with mine. Might be a place to look into.

How exactly does exercise make you sick to your stomach... that's a new one

on me...

My older (about 30lbs overweight) sister experienced this for the last 10

years of her life. Docs all tried to make her feel as though she " lazy! "

Finally after two years of testing and a great holistic (sp) doctor he found

out that she did have actual problems that DID make her exhausted and sick

to her stomach when she tried to do anything......even as mild as walking

around the block. Not sure exactly what is was.....I do remember that her

adrenal system was shot........she has spent the last several years trying

to rebuild it. In the meantime she suffered greatly from depression because

of being made to feel like a hypochondriac. P.
