very fatigued...

ok just took the medicine that was prescribed for my blood pressure...waiting to see what that does b/c my blood pressue was just too low- i'm feeling so fatigued...can anyone relate to that? I'm having minor chest pains but when i called the doc on call he didn't think my symptoms sounded like heart attack.   I've just been so fatigued all day...i napped for at least an hour or two earlier but i'm still sooooo sleepy- even after my b12.  Is it normal to be this sleepy? is this the "chronic fatigue" that goes with lyme?  The only thing left to do is go in for a stress test on monday and if that doesn't show anything i will feel much better about my heart.

Having low blood pressure can cause severe fatigue. I'm sure once your BP is back to normal, you will feel a lot better.

Thanks everyone- waiting for cortisol levels to come back to let me know about my adrenals- i did buy a supplement for that but didnt want to get into it till i knew- my blood pressure when i went in to cardiologist was very low- 90/56. ( ithink taking a xanax sent it down too far- it usually stayed around 110/60.) It has since moved up to 100/59 but i need it higher than that. Been drinking lots of water and adding a little salt per nurse's advice. Felt better after moving around a bit- but i did have to take a long mid day nap which is odd for me. I don't see how the fatigue could be setting in just now- i've been sick for months. Anyway, hopefullly you are right deejavu and i don't have any heart problems- i honestly don't know if i will make it through the stress test though- hopefully so, as for my thyroid i had a panel come back normal but someone mentioned needing an "ANA" for hashimotos? I've had an "ANA" check by my
rheumitiod doc- it was negative- no arthritis either.

Have you also had your Virals checked as well? Fatigue was a MAJOR issue for me, even after 2+ years of agressive Lyme treatment.

I have been on anti virals since August and I see a marked improvement in my fatigue.

I can now make it up past 9PM, with waking at 6AM with no naps most days.

If I over do, I still get the fatigue...but a good nights sleep usually is the answer.

Hi finding,

If I went that many hours without eating, I would feel dizzy too!  Diet is really important, what does your daily diet consist of?  You may have your answers right there...

I was also exposed to EBV and my doctors told me that most everyone has.   As far as parasites, everyone has parasites, even the most healthiest people..  Parasites come from the air we breathe, the foods we eat, water we drink, they just can not be avoided, lyme or no lyme.   That's why it's good to do a parasite cleanse once a month or so such as humaworm or whatever parasite cleanse one prefers, plus coffee enema's, and daily detoxing.

Hope you feel better,

Denise

when it was that low did your limbs fall asleep? just curious b/c when i hit 90/56 my limbs started going tingly and then numb on me.

sunshine do you just get that from a health food store? My nephrologist noticed today that when i go from sitting to standing my blood pressure drops from 110/ over whaterver to 100/59 did anyone ever notice this with you? Someone had me read wild condors story and i think it's a neuro thing- do you get head pressure when it is low?

Willowrose i seem to remember you saying you were on the blood pressure med too- did this help? did anyone ever mention your blood pressure dropping upon standing?

I only use ACS grade Potassium Iodide which is KI. You can mix this with purified water and dilute the crystals until there are only a little bit left on the bottom, that is when you have a saturated solution. Very easy, just shake the bottle until disolved and add more to leave a little undisolved.

It is corrosive, so you must mix it with water/juice or something. Start with a little and slowly work your way up. I learned that some start iwth 3 drops 3 x per day and go to 40 or more. I never went near that and haver had some very good reactions.

You can tell a difference with 3 drops 3x per day within a couple days. You start by not being so tired and little by little you are able to get back to moving around again.

If you don't want to mix the white crystals with water you can order tablets that are marketed for radiation disasters.
Life Extension has them.

14 tab;ets cost about $6, here you get about a thousand times more for $12 plus shipping.

A local pharmacy can give you one of those darkened plastic bottles for storage and mixing to protect the mixture from light and other debris.

If it gets too much light you may have to add more crystals.

It is about as toxic as table salt, so you don't have to worry about over doing it by taking it frequently.

Hope this helps you. You really should do your own research to learn about this before you use it. I think a very small percentage of people are allergic to it.

I have never had symptoms of high blood pressure before so I don't know about the other things you asked about, sorry.

The only pressure I get in my head is from the infection. I can tell when it is active, as this cuases throbbing which is unrelated to my blood pressure and is releaved from abx. treatment and avoiding certain things, like sunlight.

Pot Iodide is an abx, antifungal, and antiparasitic, as it cleans your blood. It goes to your thyroid and your blood is pumped through your thyroid every 6-7 minutes. This added chemical allows your thyroid to clean your blood.

This will also thin your blood, as the bacteria makes your blood thick. Kind of like oil in your car, when it gets dirty it get's thick and guncky and is bad for your engine.

When your blood is full of bacteria it gets thick and guncky and is bad for your heart. That, is why I think so many with these zoonotic diseases end up with endocarditis.

Feel good soon!
