energy

Hi, I have been struggling with what I have for more than 6 years now, I have seen countless numbers of doctors who failed to diagnose my condition (Sleep specialists, Neurologists, Rheumatologists...etc). I experience immense amounts of muscle pain, sleep deprivation, depleted energy, poor...

I just started Savella Three days ago And I'm kinda surprised that I allready have some extra energy. Ive been nauseous and a little shaky but it's something I've been thru before with the other meds. Ive been totally exhausted and weak, and with just the start of the titrated pack,:smile: I...

Hi, I am vegan, so that means that I almost always have to prepare food at home. I also live on my own. Thankfully my sister helps me out quite often - especially with the whole cutting of fruits and veggies process, but when she is not around, I really have to gather all the energy I have, in...

Hello everyone and thank you for your time. This is a pretty long and rambling post, so I've bolded the major points to help make things a bit more digestible :) I'm married to a wonderful woman who has been suffering with chronic pain for about three years after an auto collision. Yesterday...

Does anyone else find the mere act of showering to be exhausting? I am down to showering 3-4 times a week because I just don't have the energy to do it. I can no longer get in and out of my tub and my shower is to small to put a shower chair in it so I have to stand while I shower. Sometimes...

Since being diagnosed a few months ago, I've gone overall downhill. I want to get up and do things even just around the house, but I constantly have no energy and enough pain that most days I can't do much besides fixing something small to eat for myself, my boyfriend, and my 13 year old...
