who feels tired all the time, even when in remission.. I am so exhausted.  I work, have 2 young kids, an 89 year old mom and my husband has cancer but is in remission.

Aww Anthius you are not alone in the fatigue section. I am in remission but still always really tired. I think its just part of having this darn disease. I find my B12 shots help some with the fatigue. You can also use sublingual B12. That might be something to help out until you can talk to your doc about it.

You really have your hands full. Sending prayers for your Mom and hubby and of course you too! Big hugs!

I am always dragging - feeling like I have a lead blanket draped over me. My B12 is fine according to lab tests, slightly anemic, but just barely and I'm in the middle of a series of 5 iron infusions. But, I do get low-grade temps a lot and I think that contributes. I am a single mom of a 13 year old girl who is constantly saying, "Mom, you are *always* tired." Sure wish I could change it!

I am so tired these days especially. Had a bad flare a year ago and although I have made progress to get my stamina back I just crash a lot.

My trouble is that I doubt myself constantly. Am I a wimp? Am I using the DD as an excuse? Questions like yours and other comments on this forum help me to be more confident that I am not a wimp just a CD'er. I hope the feedback is helpful to you also. PS. Stay as fit as you reasonably can to help combat the fatigue. Guy

Oh and caring for two youngsters and an elderly parent is a big big job that would make you tired even without this DD.  My point is you have a right to be tired my friend
