hi hun

i get like that all the time ive just posted an sos for tips on getting my energy up.......

are you feeling drowsy with it or showing any other symptoms........you may need a chat with your doc we tend to blame our condition for everything but there could be other things going on

So sorry Jimmy you are having a rough trot at the mo I know it hard to believe the fact that your muscles are working overtime plus you are not getting the oxygen sats in your body all this makes any one tired. Are you on home oxygen yet? if not might be worth mentioning it to your doctor it just might add to the quality of life. Just hang in there and do the best you can.

Juliekay hi...no im not on oxygen hun, i have a nebulizer but i just feel that im strugglin to get up and do daily chores...and work is where i feel it most. I am a opthlamolic technician. I do tests n xrys on patients in a very busy office so i have to bring my A game everyday cz these tests are reviewed by doctors in the exam room with the patient there....the results of these tests i attach thru a network system.. i cannot mess them up...but the last couple days ive been lethargic n irritable....that cant happen at work cz i kno many pts and well its simple...im very personal with my pts...so i must block out any negativity ..ive been ok with that...also my wrist on my right side has excruciating pain shootin thru it. ..other than that....im good..thnx for replying hun. I appreciate it..

Dear Jimmy good to hear from you I have been wondering what you are up to. Sorry to hear that you had to be in hospital for such a long time but good to hear that you are being looked after and now starting to feel better. Well done! Remember to look after yourself and take it easy initially. Take it one step at a time: your body now needs rest to recover. Maybe think about making a new post so that it will be easier to notice. Best wishesxx
