so tired after company left - what's wrong with me?

We had company (2 friends) at our home from last tuesday through yesterday (sunday). I am so tired that I can hardly function. My husband was off and running to work this morning...and if I did work, I sure would not have been able to go. How big of a problem is this for everyone? Why are we so tired compared to everyone else?

I know what ya mean! I was at my husband's b-day bash all day saturday. By the time we left I thought my body parts were going to fall off in pieces. Then the hour or so ride home was awful, couldn't get comfy, every thing I touched (arm rests, leg touchin' the door) hurt bad.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. But this morning I feel like I got hit with a mack truck. I had to Drraaag myself into work, I'm using my heating pad and all I feel like doing is laying down. But I know I can't, I Have to work-- AAahh! So, like you said How do we do it? I honestly hate this. I need the money, but it is getting to me big time sometimes.

Myjoy, I am glad you can rest in the peace in your own home. I am jealous. But I know it sucks having to pay for most "enjoyable" times we have. Take the day for yourself and relax, heating pad and a nap sounds good.

Here's a ((Soft Hug)),
Take care,

Hi Joy!

Yes, we do totally understand what you are saying and feeling. I've had 2 parties here in the past 3 days and I can barely keep my eyes open right now...and I take Provigil which helps to keep me from being sleepy! We don't get the deep sleep to restore our bodies and I agree with Robin that this is one of the reasons for being so tired much of the time. It's very hard to do, but try to accept that you can't do things like you used to. Take a nap if and when you can, try to get to bed on time, allow yourself to sleep in when you can...you know the drill. But it's so easy to say and so very hard to do. I'm awful at keeping on a regular schedule. Too many things going on in life but I try and that's all we can do.

You might want to talk to your doc about being to tired. It's possible you have a vitamin deficiency, maybe a hormone imbalance or some other reason for being as tired as you are. I take a multiple vitamin each day...just a generic plus iron... and that helps. And remember...no matter how much you accomplish each day or how you feel, you are still the same wonderful person inside that you always were. It's just your body isn't cooperating like you'd prefer. Mine too. ;-)
