I am still so incredibly weary. Bone weary. At the point where when I'm walking up stairs I'm dragging myself up them. And then already thinking that I need the energy to go back down them!! I'm not picking up. I'm eating really well have started taking multi vitamins and a tonic and all I can think of is when can I next lie down. I sleep well for most of the night and then have at least a half hour kip if I can manage it. If I have a day at home I may even sleep for up to two hours. Seems like such a waste of time. Especially when I've been like this now for six weeks.
Added to that my pain levels with my chronic Achilles tendinitis is increasing. I've spent $600 on new orthotics and have honestly had no benefits whatsoever. My tendons are permanently swollen and the pain radiates up my entire calf. I almost hobble each time I get up of an evening once I've been sitting for a bit as everything has begun to cease up even more.
On a brighter note my secondary hypertension has resolved itself as I'm no longer on the Simponi. I'm waiting for a referral for Humira to be approved. It's almost two months since I've had the arthritis drug. That wouldn't help my pain levels. Last time I gave blood my iron levels were okay but not great. I don't think they're low enough to create this level of fatigue though.
This semester is thankfully lighter but I feel so lousy I've only been able to appreciate it as it means I can rest more.
I need to go back to the dr. I need energy. I'm doing the bare minimum at home and with my study. It's not how I like to operate.

Sure does not sound good Jenny. I hope by going to the Dr you can get something that will help you.
It can't be any fun being in pain and chronically tired all the time. {{{HUGS}}}
Feeling for you Jenny, chronic exhaustion and pain is such a 'downer'. Glad your BP has improved though and I do hope you get some answers soon. Hugs x
Yes, go and see a doc! Look after yourself, Jenny.
