Pregnancy :: Exercise / Exhaustion - How To Manage
Feb 21, 2015
So how are we expected to exercise when we're so tired? I'm 22w,2d and always exhausted. I get less than an hours worth of energy a day. If I try to push past that I feel very ill. Even light stretching or reading a book is to much. I've only had maybe two weeks this whole pregnancy that I felt normal energy wise. Anyone else going through this? If so, how do you get anything done? How do you exercise? And no, naps don't help replenish me.

Hi all, I was born with Kyphosis, never had surgery or treatment, apart from physio. Live in constant pain. Am on high doses of painkillers. 3 Years ago I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia. I was wondering if there was anybody else that has either Scoliosis/Kyphosis AND Syringomyelia, and would like some tips on how to manage.

I am maintaining my diet plan, do exercise everyday to make my body and mind strong, also loosing weight. Eating healthy and exercise is the best way of reducing weight. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, also healthy fats, proteins are essential for our body and mind such as salmon, olive oil, nuts, eggs etc.I use to take Regenon diet pills to stay on diet, they are appetite suppressants that help me to stay on diet plan by controlling hunger. I have lost 12lbs in 2 months and successfully reducing weight..

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia around 3 years ago and i think i had it for around 8-10 years prior to this.
To be honest i know very little about the condition, my doctors aren't that helpful so I wondered if anyone could give me any tips on things that help improve/manage the condition or things to avoid?

I'm having a hard time at the minute because I'm having one of my flare ups that happen about 4 times a month.
I have been diagnosed with IBS-d and diverticular disease. I'm confident with the diagnosis as I've had all the tests. But IBS-d is managed by FODMAP diet, yet this cuts out so many sources of fibre that the flare ups are most likely the diverticulitis...massive bloating, cramping and diarrhoea.
Any thoughts or successful tips on how I might be able to better manage both?

I used to be an incredibly fit person... played football about 5 times a week, went swimming a lot and run cross country. However, one day after football I felt really weak and couldn't breathe properly and generally felt as though I was dying.
The feeling was gone by the next day though I was coughing up really thick, but loose, clear white phlegm.
From this day onwards I more often than not (though sometimes not) got the same feeling after exercising. The doctors said they would only diagnose me when I was in the state I was talking about but reluctance to get into that state meant they could not diagnose the condition. They gave me asthma pumps and such but I didn't feel as though this is what the problem was.
Anyway, to cut a long story short I basically gave up exercise and it has been 5 years since I've done anything intensive to bring on the condition.
I have not experienced feeling this way in 5 years so I'd imagine it is exercise induced.
I stumbled across some information this morning which matches my condition 100%... it is called Pulmonary Edema though there doesn't seem to be too much information about it online.

I am 20 years old and it's been at least 4 years since I started experiencing these symptoms. I am unable to perform normally in life (I have been struggling to live normal life up until now, I can't just take it anymore.) I'm from Czech republic so pardon my poor language skills.
These are symptoms I experience:
1) sore/stiff muscles, stiff neck, my muscles slightly hurt me when I stretch
2) being weak, tired, exhausted, feeling fatigue/nausea - nowadays basically to the point where I don't get up from bed whole day if I don't have to, this can go on for months even (when I have holidays)
3) permanently yellow/orange-ish stool no matter what food I eat. Eating fried food sometimes makes me feel worse. I think I also often go to the toilet - once every 3 hours. Similar for water: I drink usually 3 litres a day through the day and my bladder hurts me very slightly all the time - the more I drink, the more it starts to hurt.
4) symptoms as if I had mild cold all the time - permanently stuffy nose, sweating (it goes like this - I start to feel cold but when I get into warm environment, I start to sweat)
5) visual snow, feeling dreamy (aka depersonalization/derealization)
6) generally unspecified weird/unpleasant/painful sensations across whole body
Symptoms never go away, no matter how much I rest (when I don't rest, it obviously worsens them a lot).
Cold weather feels very bad to me so symptoms probably get little worse when its fall/winter.
I have undergone mononucleosis over a year ago, but as I said, I had the symptoms even before. It's however possible that mononucleosis worsened it.
I have been to several medical places during this year including gastroenterology (stool/blood/gastroscopy, ultrasound of my guts), oncology (blood test, it's known that I have 2 genes that make me more prone to cancer - family origin), immunology (blood test) and infections department (blood test).
All the results were negative except the few that had border values - smooth muscle antibody and something that indicated that I must have undergone lyme disease some time ago. (and the results from oncology)
I tried taking vitamins, magnesium (with B6 and B12 vitamins or so) and supplement that supports liver function (contains choline and few other things). It does not do anything.
As of the fact that I must have undergone lyme disease some time ago, I was prescribed antibiotics for 15 days, I have been taking them for 7 days now but I don't feel any better. Well they make me feel somewhat fresher, but all my symptoms persist.
I tried I think 2 or 3 kinds of probiotics but it did not help. I was also prescribed pills at gastroenterology to slower indigestion process (or something) 6 months ago, but I haven't started taking them yet.

I'm 8 weeks post TKR and not doing too badly apart from the usual sleepless nights, stiffness and ache at back of knee, etc etc but I wondered if anyone else experiences getting to about now (7pm) ish and feeling absolutely exhausted, and every part of my body hurting? I had to go to bed this afternoon and slept for an hour but still feel dodgy. Is it still my body recovering from the operation? Lord knows how I'm going to be able to go back to work in four weeks time - not gonna happen.

My 23 year old girlfriend has a urinary tract infection/kidney infection. She has had the infection a year ago brought in by excessive alcohol and exhaustion which is possibly what was to blame this time. She has the usual symptoms, stomach pain, lower back pain, low appetite etc but she also has psychological symptoms that are presenting predominantly as paranoia. From what I've read, this last symptom is seen mainly in the elderly and not such a general symptom And my question is, am I worrying unduly and it's just how she reacts to the infection or could this be something more that just an infection?

I'm 9 weeks post TRHR and although I'm back driving, doing most regular activities I'm getting wiped out in the evenings.
It's not just fatigue. It's like I'm going to pass out and I feel very nauseous.
I was just wondering if this was normal or if maybe I am anaemic. I was anaemic after surgery but I was in a supplement and I had recovered.
Basically I'm wondering if it's due to me overdoing things prof maybe I should get my bloods checked.

I'm a 28 year old male. Over the past couple years my health has been steadily deteriorating.
Physical Issues:-
- Weight gain. 1-2 years gained 40lbs. (Now closing in on 295lbs)
- Unable to lose weight. Cut calories, ate better food, worked out with a trainer 4-5 days a week, 2.5 hours a day for a month and lost 2lbs. Muscle gain did not account for the lack of weight loss.
- knee pain (for 4-5 years). X-rays came back negative.
- legs are constantly overheated, and warm to the touch.
- exhaustion, all the time. To the point where it affects my life.
- no interest in anything due to always being tired.
- caffeine has no effect. Never drank coffee in my life, but started drinking black coffee and had no effect.
- constantly feeling 'I can't', whenever something comes up.
Doctors suggestions:-
-Doctor treated this as depression. I went on Celexa for 5 months and all that did was make things worse. Increased weight gain, more tired, more emotional, more depressed.
- I also saw a psychologist for about 10 sessions, but this was not very effective as I didn't have any specific trauma events.
- blood work and urine came back normal. No thyroid issues, no diabetes, nothing.
I keep trying to get healthy, but I can't shake this 'cloudy' feeling and exhaustion all the time.
I don't know if anyone can think of what this could be? I know I need to get more active, but like I said above my body and mind keep telling me 'I can't'...and no amount of caffeine helps.

I really feel ill after almost three days taking Primethoprim.
Following a hip replacement in April, my pre-existing (1959!) lumbar spine problems came back worse than ever. I now have Lumbar canal stenosis.
To help the intolerable pain, I was given Baclofen, then Diazepam and nothing made any difference. I was admitted to hospital one day when I couldn't move at home and was given an injection of Ketorolac plus Tramadol and Paracetamol tablets and discharged back home where I live on my own.
Supplied with a prescription for Tramadol 50mg to a max of eight in 24 hours, the pain continued to lessen.
But then I began to have a slight pain when passing urine. After testing my urine, the GP said I have a bladder or urethral infection. She prescribed ten Trimethoprim 200mg, to run over five days, i.e. one morning and one evening.
Ever since taking the Trimethoprim 200mg I have had extreme exhaustion, nausea, mouth-breathing and panting and therefore very dry mouth, complete loss of appetite, etc, and general misery.
