  • I'm so tired these days, I can't stand it. I'm physically lethargic in that my body just doesn't have any energy. It's a struggle not to fall asleep at my desk day in and day out. I'm mentally exhausted as well. I find myself wanting to take the easy way out and not think things through. I know stress and diet are major contributers and I'm thinking I might be anemic as well. I also wonder if I'm just all used up from trying to heal from the chemo and radiation. I was drinking coffee in the mornings, but my stomach was revolting and I gave up Diet Pepsi as a thank you to the Gods when I came home from the hospital without an ostomy but now I feel like I'm crawling through every moment and every space of time till I can get back in my bed again. It seems like such a long crawl.

  • I can relate. I'm sleeping 12 -14 hours a day I'm so drained. I'm glad that you gave up the diet pepsi. The stuff in there can cause a lot of problems especially to the intestinal/gastric areas of the body. You would be better off drinking regular pepsi... except for all of the sugars. I drink regular pepsi... not as much as I use to... but still.

    I hope that you build up more energy soon. {{{Hugs}}}

  • Back to the Doctor, Young Lady... please ... maybe you need some vitaman supplements

  • Yep, what she^^ said .   Maybe just have them do a CBC w/ a Diff (or a BMP) labs & make sure your aren't anemic or have an infection.

    Sending warm, energizing ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) to ya, m'dear.

    Love to yas.........AbbeyC

  • I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so exhausted. I hope that you can regain some strength and energy! I will be keeping you in my thoughts!
