Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted, the past few weeks I have been struggling with chronic fatigue and forgetting my thoughts mid conversation along with muddling up my words.
My target INR range is 3-4, target of 3.5. I am currently 3.2 and last week 3.8. I was wondering if anybody has any tips to boost their mood and alertness, as I work full time which is a major struggle as all I want to do is nap all day.
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Beth.
I will add that I agree with the advice above, and also that my last flare was triggered by mosquito bites! It has made me more careful about applying my repellent. MaryF
I was like that a couple of months ago , still not perfect but I asked for blood test, really anaemic so worth asking
Ooh this post looks as if I could have written it! My brain is awful. I keep misinterpreting what people are saying and I can be thinking something and it just goes and I have no recollection! I was at Guys on Wednesday and she agrees there is a marked deterioration since my last visit. I am to have a brain scan and eyes checked. I did have a Tia a few weeks ago and I don't seem to have recovered as well as usual. I just did the usual thing ... Went to bed for a couple of hours. I did tell my gp a few days later. But maybe I have to admit defeat and go to the hospital. We will see what scan says.
APsnotFab note about flares is really true. I experience them from time to time as well-with and without provocation. Sometimes a cold or sniffle can evoke a flare for me-sometimes no reason whatsoever. But the fatigue...not sleepiness....fatigue...whole body and mental fatigue as you describe-with cognitive sluggishness is profound and quite limiting. The flares seem to pass...for no reason or treatment-with or without sleep. I used to "chase" my INR but even within range sometimes I get a flare...take a deep breath....rest
Yes, since beginning of August I've been in flare up! Exhausted, no MEMORY! I fell no energy! I didn't know u cud get flare ups? Good luck and feel better! Godspeed
