For any women here, the blood loss from our problems here, PLUS add in your
"time of the month"... boy do I get fatigued. Sometimes I wonder just how
down in blood count I am, I feel like crawling to the bathroom on my hands
and needs I'm so week. Does it effect you all that way also?


From: Vikki on
I am the same. Extremely fatigued. I have been taking Omega 3 and I take
some iron every once in awhile to help out but the iron can constipate me
and that is dynamite for the intenstines. I am zonked right now.

ditto! Extreme fatigue and now that I am in another flare, loads of joint
pain too... All I seem to do is drift from the bed to the bathroom to the
couch to the bed...

I think I am always in a 'flare'. I am still trying to figure out this
disease. I have days where things are not too bad but the symptoms are never
completely gone. I also wonder at times that the amount of blood loss I have
I should be dead!

I have chronic anaemia and my Hgb reading (11.0) on a good day is
significantly lower than a women having her period. I have been known
to sleep around the clock and I know well the feeling of hardly being
able to make from the bed to the potty and back. Have your doc check
your Hgb are taking iron supplements and vitamin b12 shots (Chronies
often have trouble absorbing B12 and one shot will last a month).

Good luck ladies - Paul
