I realize something last night, for all my complaining about fatigue, I’ve been staying up most nights till 10 o’clock. If you look back to before I saw my doctor, I was in bed by eight and asleep by 8:30. https://multipleexperiences.org/2019/09/03/trip-to-the-neurologist/ This is before he gave me the Adderall. Yes, my body isn’t recovering from my exercise. Yes, I’m still exhausted and finding it hard to move about as easily as I was. However, I’m not at that stage of…

Curing fatigue naturally

Curing fatigue naturally

I wanted to share information received through my blog post on fatigue. This is why I write so we can share other ideas and thoughts from other patients and their doctors. This is from Sherry and I can’t say how much I appreciate the information. I’ve been struggling from fatigue for a while now and I am really at a loss. I have not tried this yet but I plan on bringing all this information to my doctor when I…

I went into bed early as I’ve been doing every night recently. Last night I didn’t wake up until 3am. I slept straight from 9-3. That is huge for me!!! Then I slept until 8. I wish I could sleep every night like that but my bladder disagrees. My bladder doesn’t usually hold for more than three hours. However even with that great night sleep I still woke up tired. I would have stayed in bed but my bladder had…

It’s beautiful out a cool 63 degrees and I still have to have my AC on. The only downside to my condo is it’s angle. If the wind is blowing the wrong way this condo gets no air and can become hot with the morning sun. Today is that kind of day. There is no breeze out there. I hate that. I love having all the windows open and a cool breeze blowing and I’ve been robbed of it this…

I got rid of the migraine that I had for three days straight. Nothing worked until I used a little medicinal marijuana for the first time in years. That at least took the edge off because it helped release the spasticity through my back. I woke up this morning ready to take on the day pain free. I wanted to swim this morning first thing. I was excited to once again try to hit my mile goal swimming laps. I…

I am going to my neurologist today. I needed a form filled out by him that has to be within 30 days of my last appointment. Of course my last appointment was in the beginning of July so I had to come in again. Yet this probably isn’t a bad thing because I can once again address the exhaustion. I felt so tired yesterday I got into my bed around 6. My body was just so tired I couldn’t fight…

Today is mahjong. I’m very excited I didn’t play last week. I’ve been very focused in the gym working my core to help me with the forward and backward movements in the game. I can normally make it through 3 1/2 hours of play but I still have issues and fatigue by the end. It isn’t as bad as the beginning when I first started to play. It is amazing what will fatigue the body. If I do a workout…

The heat, the heat is here and it is not making life an easier. I played mahjong and I could barely hold myself upright by the end of the game and I was in AC. The heat finds it way into your bones and still manages to fatigue you regardless of where you are. I came home and collapsed. I was in bed by 9 and slept through the night until 4. I’m exhausted still. I sleep I’m exhausted, I…

I had the best nights sleep I had in a long time. I woke up once at 1am to use the bathroom and then slept right on through until 7:22 when the bathroom called again. That is a long stretch of time for me. I needed that!!! I could still sleep more truthfully but it was time to start my day. Plus my cell phone went off and I answered it. I normally go to the gym today but decided…

This wasn’t good. I went to play mahjong for the second time yesterday. It is a game like rummy cube with Asian tiles. Your hands must match to an approved hand on a card. You play with four people around a square table taking turns picking and throwing tiles. Not very strenuous unless you have some type of multiple sclerosis symptom making it difficult. I had that MS symptom. At first I was fine, other than my game itself. However…
