Tiredness and Feeling Rotten

annebr

I seem to be having one of those days woke up tired and even after a long afternoon nap was still tired. I have FAI and OA and to add insult to injury I am currently undergoing tests for IBD. Also, have inflamation of the eyes at the moment which isn't helping.

Today seems to be just one of those days that I am lethargic and don't feel well but couldn't tell you why I don't feel great.

Does everyone suffer from these days?

Sorry for the moan

Sounds like a normal day to me. I have to always mentally drive myself just to get through a typical day. I think most of us do.

Not much help for you, but at least you are not alone.

Hi Anne,I think tiredness is one of the most common side effects of arthritis. Since I was diagnosed with OA and RA I feel lethargic most days.Although when I was on steroids I had masses of energy and didn't feel tired at all.Since having to cut them down before coming off them completely,I am back to feeling tired again and the hot weather hasn't helped.I seem to be doing everything in slow motion! :?

Hi guys sounds about normal to me, good days are far and few between, i remember the old days when i felt like me, now i am this person i dont even know, i look in the mirror and my shell resembles the person i used to be but inside what the hell

I think the worst thing is the guilt at not being able to do as much as you used to and then the anger.

Thanks for your messages, I know I am not alone.

Hi Anne

I've just woken up from my afternoon sleep. I went to the post office and by the time I got back home - I was dripping! I had a shower; a low fat ice cream. Put the fan on and I was out like a light! My eyes were bothering me all last week and in desperation I took an astihistamine and used some eyedrops - much better this week. It's this weather - it wears you out.

I'm not complaining, but how people can lie out and bake in this sun is beyond me!!!

I think we should listen to our bodies and if you need a lie down then do it. I was lethargic all last week.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hi. Tiredness is a side effect, I think. Also this hot weather seems to take all my energy. Put the two things together and you have a recipe for feeling really Yuk..

Hope you soon feel better.

Re-reading this I should have said tiredness is a symptom. :oops:
