so tired!

I am so tired lately. I haven't changed anything in my routine but all I want to do is sleep or lay in bed. I am in my masters and missing classes is hard, but this morning I literally could not get myself to get out of bed. It is so hard to explain how tired you get from this disease. People just think you are lazy or that you decided to skip or something. To me this might be one of the hardest parts of the disease, especially as it seems people are the least understanding of this aspect. Fine one day spleeping 13+ hours the next. Nothing else you can do.

That can be so hard. How are your vitamin levels? Vitamins B and D are important for energy; you might want to consider taking them as supplements if you don't already. You can do a blood test to see what your levels are. I know that has made a big difference for me.

I completely hear you on that one! I am not in my masters... I'm still in undergrad - but, the fatigue aspect is probably the one thing I have the hardest time coping with. I can manage to get to classes on rough days...but if I am exhausted, there is no room for compensation - it's strictly a day of lying around.
I've been making myself do some more cardio - while it is a struggle to start back up... and make myself go every day, it does help to give me at least a little burst of energy just after - at least, enough to get some homework/reading done!

I hope it gets better for you! Good luck with your masters!!!!
