I'm having what I call a sleepy day. Where no matter how many naps I take or how much coffee I drink, I just can't seem to fully wake up.
My son will be home from school at about 3.30 after going shopping with his dad and I have to try and be awake after then so we can have family time. But I'm just so blumming tired!
*Rant over*
When you need it you need it! 💗x
Oh yes been there and still am some days. I can’t communicate with my family I’m on the outside looking in . It’s a sign my disease is active. Your not in your own x
Listen to your body, your son and his dad will manage without you for a while, you can have family time tomorrow or the day after, your health comes first. If you burn yourself out there is no family time so rest and recuperate the best you can x
I’m having a day like that too. The slightest thing is making me feel tired and I have struggled all afternoon to avoid falling asleep. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m no longer on Prednisolone and my adrenal system has not stepped up to take over as it should.
Hope you (and I) feel better tomorrow.
Sorry to hear your not feeling great. When I have days like that, i tell the kids I don't feel so good and we lay on the bed watching movies. I think they are more aware than we think when we have bad days x
Hey there suzu1982 really know how you feel rest as much as you can and take careX
It's usually the afternoon with me, somedays I'm just so tired, I yawn, yawn and better yawn, then wak up a bit in the evening.
Sounds like fatigue. I hope it won't last long. All the best.
I am also feeling like that and have been on and off all year, it is horrible. In the mornings, I just can't fully wake up and feel like I am in a dream. During the day, everything I do is hard, even just trying to read or watch TV, I just fall asleep and I feel sick with it most of the time. Sometimes, I have fallen asleep in the middle of talking to my husband and son and my husband gets annoyed with me. We were playing monopoly and I was falling asleep and sometimes talking rubbish during it. Everything feels like too much effort.
We have decided to go out somewhere tomorrow, but to be honest the thought of doing that, makes me feel sick and even more tired. I have not been seeing friends because of lockdowns and shilding etc but on Monday I had my best friend round. It was great to see her, but I had trouble talking and taking in what she was saying and felt exhausted by the time she went. Yesterday, my cousin came for a visit and it was the same with him and both times I felt relieved at the end of the visit which makes me wonder what is going on. I feel like I could just get into bed and sleep for days. I don't know what is going on with me.
Hi, I know you're post was a few months ago but I wondered if you are having some depression issues. It's extremely common in our community, dealing with OA, RA, any of the conditions on the forum is quite complicated and depression comes with it frequently. If you are already taking something for it, you may need to see about adjusting/ changing meds and if you're not please consider talking to someone about it. I only mention this out of concern and personal experience. There's no reason to suffer through it without assistance. Best wishes to you!
Hi suzu1982, single and unemployed, only had RA for a few months. Some days all I want to do is sleep, occasionally blame the purring cat on my knee, tv programme I am watching or the music I am listening to, no, body says sleep and shuts down, it happens🐈
