I don't know as I have the opposite problem and I'm quite jealous. Your body knows what it needs and is busy battling this nasty disease. Wishing you better

Exactly!

It’s ‘battling disease’, manwithnoname, precisely as Gnarli noted.

It’s a 24/7 battle that quietly ‘rages on’ that all our bodily energy expends ‘fighting’ ⚔️ 🤺 the war around the clock 🕐🕕🕚 , day 📅 after day 📆 after day 🗓 . . .

Your body is rightfully exhausted 😴 💤 from wrestling 🤼‍♀️ a never-ending battle each & every day.

[Maybe think of it as something like you’re body is running a marathon every day? 🏃‍♂️ . . .🏃‍♂️ . . .🏃‍♂️ Your body’s tired, exhausted, run-down from running it’s ‘daily marathon’. It needs a lot of sleep/ rest 🛌 to recuperate.]

Until disease/ inflammation 🔥 (the daily marathon) subsides — becomes ‘well managed’ — exhaustion will remain ‘the norm’.

Wishing you well working with your medics to find ways to improve disease management, manwithnoname. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Aside: If you’re interested in a bit more about deep, restorative sleep 🛌 , Gnarli & manwithnoname, sleep scientist 👨‍🔬 Matthew Walker’s work might be of interest ( healthunlocked.com/cure-art... ) — provided it doesn’t put you to sleep 😴 💤 . . . . ☺️
