I've dealt a lot in the last couple of years with chronic fatigue. As I've been looking up the hernia symptoms and such I've come across a lot of people mentioning fatigue as their symptoms, but non of the mentions seem to be on medical websites. So it doesn't look like it's substantiated, but I wonder if that's why I am so tired all the time, along with the depression. No doubt depression causes it too.I've brought up the fatigue with my doctor, but she didn't seem to be concerned about it. But it's bad enough to be troubling to me.
It sucks when you don't feel good on the inside, and people can't see how you really feel. People expect you to always be the same, but it's hard. There are days I feel like being out and about, and then there are days that I feel tired, I feel exhausted, I don't feel like being around people, I don't feel like being friendly and conversationally fun. I have aches and pains that don't make sense. I have poor mind clarity.
I remember seeing a commercial once a long time ago, and I wish they played it now, because I think everyone can use the reminder. It was about depression and if only people could see the "bruises" we have on the inside, then they'd be more understanding.
I'm back on my happy pills, plus some new ones, that are supposed to help the migraines. So far I'm doing better than I was last week. The kids are happier with me too. I think I'd be feeling even better if the heat we are having right now wasn't so oppressive.
Depression can make you super tired....for me it does the opposite and I get really bad insomnia when it gets really bad.
ReplyDeleteThe Vitamin D levels being low can also make you really tired. My levels are so low I have like zilch energy and it takes all I have just to make it through the work day. When they start to get higher I can always tell because I have so much more energy.
