User ID: 79280147 United States 07/03/2022 03:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm so tired. I thought I'd have a few more decent years, but my energy level after the whole scamdemic is nill. Quoting: Feathery I have issues with functioning in heat above 80 and my circadian rhythms seem to be set for having no energy at all until 6pm. That's when I start to feel energized, coffee just makes me more sleepy, it has to be a latte and there are no more morning routines or places to go. The lot across the street is for sale. When it sells, I'm next, with no idea where I'll go. I don't see how I can own again. I'm just to tired. The lawnmower broke for the 5th time ( just keep buying new ones since its cheaper than paying someone to mow the lawn). Soon I won't be able to do that. I damaged my knee but the Physical therapy place was so horrible I cancelled the sessions. They were still wearing masks even though they didn't have to. I wish I could have experienced what so many other women get to experience, being loved and pampered by people, always someone in your corner, brothers, uncles, cousins that all love and care for you. Anyway just venting. Sorry to hear this! Get some blood work done. Make sure they check sodium levels (do you crave salt or salty foods?), potassium levels, have your doctor do an ACTh test to see if your body produces cortisol in appropriate levels. Sounds like it could be Addison's, which is a pituitary problem, but I'm not a doctor. God Bless you. If it's Addisons, there's treatment. "Peace in our time?

Anyway just venting. I don't want to be a downer, but maybe you should go to the doctor. My dad was tired a lot and that was possibly the first symptom he had, he ended up having ALS. This was after at least 2 misdiagnoses. Through the pandemic I also read Ivermectin could help people with ALS. When my dad had it there was nothing and he had an aggressive case. But there is more they can do now for some things. Best to get checked out. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83056903 United States 07/03/2022 04:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any idea what threw off your Circadian cycle? Did this happen after Covid? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83056903 Just curious because I’ve been experiencing the same thing. Did you recently stop working? Mystery illness CFIDS/CFS (EBV) does this to you. IIRC, the liver regualates your circadian rhythms. In my case, I have that and several co-morbidities to go along (how fun!) So it's hard to tell, but internal organs affected. I'd go with the liver. Feathery did mention she takes a steroid, now and then (IIRC). Steroids (gluco-cortico) mess up your liver. She possibly has fatty liver, which would cause energy depletion. Also, I forgot: look into worms/parasites. Many in first world have them. Vaxa puts out a strong wormwood/homeopathics "Parasitin" capsules. Worked for me. Lemon in water upon rising (no sugar, no eating) detoxes the liver fast. Dissolves fat. So does dandelion. To be used week/months BEFORE attempting milk thistle or you might end up like me: rhythmic stabbing pain in the liver, from taking milk thistle caps while having a severely fatty liver. The M.Th REGENERATES your liver. But it needs to be free from fat, to be able to regenerate. So the lemon water and/or dandelion for several weeks or months before attempting the m.th. is best. Also look into candida illness and the parasites I mentioned. Candida is a cult of an illness. I was put on a special diet for almost 2 years. Extremely restrictive and is more like punishment, because there's a lot of zealous "fight the candida" loons out there. (Bloggers, docs on TV in "Know the Cause", my first "famous" doctor that I saw in Santa Monica back in the 80s, and idiots who thrive on shaming and guilt tripping you---think dentist reproachs, while they have their fingers in your mouth.) So be very careful of the candida cult: a bit of info is good, but this pushed me into orthorexia eating disorder and it makes all of the above worse. Parasites can take several months to cleanse, but at least, you have visual results. Hope this helps Feathery, and someone else out there. Thank you very much! I started one capsule of Milk thistle per day about a year ago, mainly because I stopped all alcoholic drinks a few years back. I had no idea about dissolving any fat first. This is all excellent info! Thank you!! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80981342 Older women live alone now because feminism made them unworthy people to spend time with. Should have used water cannons on the bra burners in the 60’s and told them to go the fuck back home. Agree, I am 60 and on 3 dating sites… I am decent looking, no major issues AND all the women are mainly concerned with their girlfriends, their clubs, and related selfish things. Hardly anyone wants a dedicated relationship any more! How are you all finding these sorts of things to be? Widowed 2 years. Am not overweight,don't do drugs, go to church every Sunday. I grow and can a lot of my own fruits and veggies, and I love to cook. I keep an immaculately clean house. I am totally debt free and keep it that way. Yeah, I tried a few lunch/dinner dates. It seems all the men I met wanted someone to support them, a nanny, or a nurse.I will stay by myself, if this is all that is available. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

And have chronic pain, mobility issues, I hobble, which doesn't make things easier. Sleep is mostly always disrupted. I do what I can daily, takes me a week to do what I used to get done in a day! Try (I know it can be hard somedays) to find things to stay positive about i.e. my pets, garden, wild critters, good dinners, family, nice weather. I try to stay very thankful for small things, long hot shower, bills are still paid, I woke up this morning, my husband and kids are still doing ok, whatever you can find you are thankful for. Try to find something you like and that lifts your spirits (I sew quilts in the winter) and don't fight it, just sometimes yeah gotta go through the hard stuff and come out the other end, one way or the other :) Hang in there. Maybe get a small inexpensive pet for company? |

Quoting: Your Crazy Mom I don't take ibuprofen. I'd have to really be in pain for that. I use a pain killer maybe once a year if that. If I recall correctly, you were very generous a few months back and helped many people here. I'll pray that those acts of kindness are reciprocated to meet your needs. A word of advice from this old man, don't give in and become sedentary, its a TARP for we older folks. Lots of light through the windows and as someone else suggested, listen to some upbeat music of your favorite genera. Don't just listen to the music... feel it and move to it. Bless you and burst through this temporary setback. |

Lost 60 lbs (and I was NEVER fat) Had both knees replaced 20+ years ago and they are now worn out again. Surgery later this month for some nasty stuff (seems I'm rotting on the inside too) which I dread. On meds for BP, heart, and head which keep me going but I'm no longer myself. And on and on. Feathery, fight for every day. For me its my gardens. My family down thru my great g.kids have their own lives and I have no friends but two old dogs.
