Omg, The Exhaustion.......... is sooo unreal,,
i went out thurs, 2 stores, vet, 12-6..
w/ my provider.. who is great.
Today, sat, i took a nap around 3 and.... didn't get up until
MIDnight!!!!!!!!
Totally, unconscious, out of it.. awakened only bc, of a nightmare, where i was totally alone, some college, where there was a blackout, felt like i was the only one in the world, just all alone , family didn't care.. and there were Indians in it.. i don't know where, i haven't been that scared or felt soo alone, in a long time.. I had to get up.. to get rid of those feelings, but
Ugh ya know?.. The EXHAUSTION, is sooo unreal, i really think i was partly unconscious and No, hadn't taken any meds... just sooooooo tired..
don't laugh, but i had to watch " The Waltons", its like my fav comfort soup...
this is soo not "arthritis" a word that continually ticks me off, LOL, when anyone asks hows your arthritis.. ugh..
I know others of you get this... plus i was pretty manic, this month.. so i know that added to it.. still tired..
thank God for cats!!!
Also, while i realize i have a great apt, etc etc... i've lived here , same complex 5 yrs.. same apt 1 yr...

ok ready to hear others exhaustion stories..
I am so sorry! I hope you are feeling somewhat better. Before I was dx with RA and having joint issues, I had a bout of chronic fatigue following mono. But this exhaustion is different. It's not so much that I have unrefreshing sleep, but that I need every moment of sleep I can get! It's like I'm velcroed to the bed.
Oh my gosh, The Walton's was my favorite show when it was on!
I experienced fatigue like that only once in my life. I was in high school. I'd come home from school and go straight to bed and sleep until it was time to go to school again. I had my mom and dad really worried. The doc ran every test he could think of. Nothing. It finally passed on it's own, but I never knew what caused it.
:(( I thought this was normal with RA... I feel like that all the time... RA for only 2 months and a baby of almost 4 months....and it's not because I wake up at night (which I do, of course)... I know how I felt the first month with the baby, tired but Energetic somehow, worse in the morning but then I could manage through the day... lately I just strive to stay up and moving, yet I would just Sleep all day long.. but if I nap I wake up just the same...and stiff all over.......so I just go around like that....
Miruna,
Everyone is different and your RA fatigue may be just like what Whispered described. Mine isn't. With my RA fatigue, I'm just really really tired. I want to lay around the house. I sleep on and off and feel like I'm sick.
Hope you find yourself energized soon- or at least not soooooooooooo exhausted!
I too have fatigue- sleep about 12 hrs. a night now and still feel tired when 7 hrs. used to do the trick. But nothing compared to what you are feeling.
Think VACATION!!!!
hi whispered i get burnt out reall fast.. and like Kweenb

Today after posting, I went back to sleep for another 6 straight hrs!!!!
no meds..
Crazy illness...plus for me, a lot of it is the Manic-d stuff..
I've always always had to have HUGE amts of sleep, but last night.. or day was really different!
and noo i'm not refreshed, maybe if i had a car and could go out and about, it'll help..
in fact, i know it would... the not being able to walk much kills me..
ok vent, for now.. now, Lol over... the Exhaustion , nope still here..
how about a scooter.. not the same as a car but it would allow you
to get out..allthough some are expensive...
Beep Beep Boney..
