So tired ...

I am just getting over some sort of upper respiratory illness. I finally saw the doctor because it had lasted for two weeks.

I think it was flu or bronchitis. The doctor gave me an antibiotic, just in case it was bacterial, and cough medicine to use as needed. I haven't been taking the cough medicine much. I have finished the antibiotic.

I am so tired. I can't ever remember feeling this fatigued unless I did a lot of physical exercise.

I do take synthroid, a thyroid replacement. My overactive thyroid was destroyed with radiation a few years ago.

Has anyone ever experienced fatigue after bronchitis or the flu? How long did it last for you?

I am not asking for medical advice. I just wonder if anyone has had similar experiences.

1. i think we are all too tired to comment.

i think many of us have fatigue that is dragging down our quality of life. especially since it is something that docs tend to pay little attention to. i know i have a hard time getting over routine illnesses, and a week or so of fatigue is my norm.

hope you are feeling better by now.

Okay, let franksolich explain what's going on.

Hate, selfishness, pettiness, greed, sloth, erodes energy.

That's it, in a nutshell.

Maybe the DUmmie needs to log off once in awhile and get some sleep.

Spot on and well said.
