Hi folks, Could I ask for an extra prayer this week? I’m really feeling like crap this week. I can barely move and the heat is killing me. This is worse than no energy. I’m really fatigued, far worse than my normal level of post stroke fatigue. I got a bad cold sore two days ago. I only take note of it as I haven’t had one in many years now and usually only got them when I was really run down from something else. I’ve barely been out of my trailer all week and I’m behind on so many building and repair projects it’s driving me crazy. Thanks, Brian
I’m probably going to ask for a Lyme test tomorrow. I’ve picked ticks off me this spring but I haven’t found any imbedded so far. However this current fatigue just isn’t normal
Many years ago, experienced what you described here Brian- the most unbelievable fatigue ever. I barely made it through dinner and was sleeping by 7pm. Slept to 7 am and woke up exhausted as if I did not sleep. Somehow made it to work and repeated this pattern. Went on for a month. Finally saw doc and yes it was Lyme Disease. Thankfully still early enough that oral antibiotics worked almost immediately. So, good call on getting tested. Will pray it turns out well if it is Lymes.
Poor Brian. Your health's your wealth. I can't imagine. Praying away to the Angel Guardians. I wish I could do more.
Well Brian I hope you are feeling a bit stronger I will keep you in my prayers. I noted that your message was posted at precisely 3.33 am. I hope that is a sign that the good Lord has your corner
Fortunately I just had the full blood work up May 17, including testing for anemia, since I’m on blood thinners. Everything was remarkably good considering my health record. I just have inherited congenitally high(!) cholesterol and triglycerides.
It might be as simple as that I’m not sleeping well with this heat. I’m exhausted during the day but can’t sleep well at night.
I’m glad you brought that up. I was going to post something similar and held back. I do not perform well in heat. Like you, I don’t sleep well in the summer months. The older I get, the more pronounced it becomes. I do believe it is true that older people’s bodies have trouble regulating heat. I also have researched that it is possible to have seasonal affective disorder in the summer. I probably do. I also tend to bite off more than I can chew in the projects department I am praying you don’t have Lyme. I am getting my annual physical in a few weeks and will get all my bloodwork done then.
