Too tired to message

Too tired to message

I just wanted to say hi to everyone and send some encouraging thoughts. I am usually way too tired to keep up with the forums. My medication makes it very difficult to do any reading or writing and that's anytime not just at night time. I feel I need the social contact that forum provides but I'm so tired I feel like I can't contribute much. Does anyone else live with the total exhaustion that meds can cause?

Hi @Angels333

I'm exhausted at the moment, but not sure i can blame meds. Its hard to keep up with the forums but you dont always need too, though i also feel like i've lost my 'social' contact and am missing everyone because i just havent had time or will to post.

Is it worth speaking with your treating dr/team baout the exhaustion and seeing if they can tweek something or suggests omething to improve/lessen your exhaustion?

Just start making small posts @Angels333

Sometimes you may get energy from the to and fro of social contact. Little bits are fine ... lots of people apologise for writing too much.

I felt like a bit of a zombie due to meds in December and dropped them a fraction ... it helped ... but with doc support.

cheers Apple

Thanks Appleblossom
I will try that. It's definitely the meds.

I know I'm not ready to decrease the dose yet. I think my dr would agree. Extra coffee helps a little.
