At the moment i feel totally exhausted, lethargic, just like a zombie.I have spent half the day sleeping in front of the tv, does anyone else feel like this? Im not sure if its my meds, but having been on them for 6 months+ i doubt if they are the problem..any help would be appreciated,thanks

Oh Joolie (((HUGS))) - yep, I get that way sometimes - whenever folks deal with a lot of stress, it can deplete you very quickly.Meds can be a factor - but what I do is I try to go outside and get natural light - even if it is for a few minutes - and do nothing but look at the surroundings. At night, I listen to music and that lifts my spirits and energy level.Living with a chronic disorder such as IBS can certainly be a factor - add that to the stressors of everyday life, and not so everyday stressors, and it can really add to that feeling of lethargy and depletion. I also take a supplemental vitamin, or a protein shake - or sometime just have a Coke ! and that helps me as well ... sometimes I try to move a bit to music, a bit of physical motion helps - even just a few minutes can turn it around.btw, just have to say - today's my birthday - my friends are having a little dinner party tonight - even my two kids are coming - I take every little fun thing I can to help me through life...Hang in there Joolie - (((((HUGS)))) to you, hon!Ta, Marilyn

JoolieI know exactly how you feel. A couple of months ago my doc put me on a couple of meds for my high blood pressure and they just knocked me out. They helped my blood pressure alot but I could not sleep at night, could not stay awake during the day, had NO appetite and lost 25 pounds. I would crawl out of bed into a chair in front of the tv and stay there until it was time to crawl back to bed. This went on for 2 months before I could get my doc to take me off those meds and try something else.MarilynHAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!and thank you and Mike for his CDs, I start session 3 tomorrow but I am already fealing better. Symptoms have not gone yet but my BMs are changing a little bit for the better and I just simply feel good about myself. In fact I just got back from shopping with my wife, I was a little edgy a couple of times but all in all it was not a bad trip.Robby

 

[cookies4marilyn]

Thanks Joolie and Robby for the good wishes.Glad to hear you are getting a bit of relief from Mike's CDs - it takes time, just keep at it! I was housebound with severe IBS, so there is lots of hope. You'll see!

hi, i am having a day like that today, been bad with what i am assuming is IBS related recently so i am also assuming that is why ive felt so tired today, i had to force myself not to go to sleep this afternoon. isnt that a symptom of constipation though too? could be wrong like but i thought it was.happy birthday marilyn

 

[18204]

Joolie, if this is unusuall for you and J you may want to make sure you don't have a problem with your house such as carbon monoxide poisioning going on.

 

[cookies4marilyn]
