My blog posts have been scant these past few weeks. It isn’t that I’ve been busier than usual; though
my life is generally very full I’ve always been able to make the time to
write. The reason I’ve not posted is
because I’ve been exhausted.
I’d been fighting fatigue since early December. Thinking it
was just that I was doing too much or not getting enough sleep I tried just
about everything to bring myself to a place of feeling rested. I cut way back on caffeine. I stopped having that after dinner glass of
wine. I made myself go to bed early
enough to get a full night of sleep. I
cut back on extra activities, even scaled back my social life. Nothing helped. In fact the feelings of fatigue and
exhaustion only became worse.
This past week even my daily activities have left me feeling
wiped out. Walking to the store left me feeling like I’d just worked out for an
hour and sitting on the couch to just rest a minute would turn into a two hour
nap. Finally I’d had enough, I decided
that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life napping, and I went to see my
doctor on Tuesday.
After talking with her, having a multitude of blood tests
and a couple of days of angst while waiting for results we are pretty sure that
the problem and its solution have been found.
I’m not going to share the details here until enough time has passed to
see if the treatment that I have started is actually working but I’m feeling
fairly positive about the chances of success.
In the meantime, I will do my best to keep posting…
