Low energy

Hey all,
I'm in the middle of a pretty bad flare for perianal fistulas and recently got put on methotrexate to compliment the humira I'm on. To get to my question though, I've heard others talk about having depleted energy levels. I'm afraid I fall into this category as well. I'm set to get a blood test and physical from my doc to determine my hemoglobin levels. So for those of you with low levels, what did they do help you get more energy and are you feeling better? I'm just curiuos because I'm normally active and full of life but lately have been sluggish... Others have noticed as well. Any comments would be great

Thanks for responding. I have an apt to go see my doc for blood tests and physical next week so ill have answers soon enough

Don't forget amino acids(vitamin levels) they tested me while in hospital for surgery and I had nothing in my body to speak of...not only did I need a blood transfusion for my hemaglobin I was also on a very large dose of amino acids and protien TPN via a pic line. The doctors were confused as to how I was actually holding down a job with nothing actually nurishing and running my body.

I would ask....my doc never tested me at all for that. They tested me in the hospital because I looked so anorexic...all bone and no meat except for the huge bloated belly. The funny thing is I asked my doctor at an appointment(family doc) and told him I was severly malnourished and had no energy to even walk to the bathroom...all he said was lets fix your crohns first then we will deal with your food. What a stupid ignorant A**. I have since switched my primary care doctor to someone that actually listens to what I have to say, as he believes that a patient knows when something isn't quite right with their body.
