Tired, What would I ask Doc to check for outside B12

Hey all,

I am on Remicade every 8 weeks, still have a draining seton in, but it is almost fully healed and set to be removed in a month. I have been working and going to school the last 6 months. This schedule is not abnormal to me, as I use to work full time and part time plus school and other activities on top of it. In the past I could sleep in on the weekends and maybe have a 13 hr sleep one day during the week and manage fine....

Now. I am tired all the time. I thought it was because these last courses were really difficult and I was studying so much, but school finished a few weeks ago. I am only working one job now, regular hours, I get atleast 7-8 hrs of sleep a night and exercise regularly, but I spend most of my day feeling tired/run down/ wanting to go home to nap? Its seems to be in general and not really connected to around infusions times either. Any suggestions on what I could get my doc to check for in blood tests. Most things are checked monthly because of my remicade. The only other thing I can think of is that I don't eat enough fruits and veggies, but that's due to my stricture.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you,

 

Iron and Vitamin D. Also thyroid.

Ok great, thank you! I will get those on the list. Habs - I was concerned about infection too, but I still have my seton in, and the area does not seem to be inflamed, and surgeon checked not too long ago and said things looks great, to the best of my knowledge my bloodwork is normal, as I get it monthly due to my remicade, which includes the basics, but your right, it may not pick up a low grade infection.
