Anyone else just freakin' tired all the time?

[angela515]

Right now I am tired all of the time. Once I get my phosphorus under control after this surgery coming up, I shouldn't be tired anymore. Low phosphorus causes Respitory Failure, so, it makes ya short of breath, tired, weak.. all of that.

[jedimaster]

I am too tired to answer this sort of questions....

[kitkatz]

Me too...too tired...zzzzzzzz.

[okarol]

I am tired of being tired.

And I shouldn't complain, given what kidney patients go through.

My partner, Sandra, goes to bed at about 9.30pm (asleep by 9.36).  I go to bed at about 2am, she wakes and says "good night hun" and it's back to sleep, she wakes up at about 4am, sits up looks at me, sitting there in a daze, lies back down and off to sleep in about 3 minutes.  She's up at 6am, goes to toilet for a pee (the flood gates open!) back to bed and instant sleep.  At 7.20am her alarm goes off, she wake, sits up looks at me and says "I had an awful night's sleep last night, I hardly slept a wink.

   Bill, loved your rendition of Sandra's restless night...  Keep sharing!  (as long as she is not standing over your shoulder or hasn't a sense of humor)  JK

I just can't get to sleep. Nor can I STAY asleep. I've tried several OTC meds, I'm gonna ask my doctor next Monday (clinic)
for a scrip. I hate this. I hate the fatigue, I hate the dopiness, I hate it all! And of course people say "Well, I have no problem
falling asleep." Well, no you don't. I do. Shut up about it already!. 

[Wattle]

I am tired of being tired.

Me too. zzzzzzzz     

 I go to bed tired, toss and turn, roll myself up in my PD cath, throw my legs around like a dying fish..... then wake up tired!   

[angela515]

I go to bed and can sleep 8-10 hours, and wake up and feel like i haven't slept at all. Hopefully this surgery i just had changes that... cause being tired when you shouldn't be SUCKS majorally.

I use to be tired a lot when  I didn't do any sport, every since I started doing sport (kickboxing, Bmx, Soccer (football) and other things) I have been less tired. I sleep from 01:00am to 06:00am and I am full of energy.

[kitkatz]

Sick, man sick. Slow down, take it easy!  Hehehehe!

Enough teasing.  I am proud you have an exercise routine.  That is great!  I need one.

Kit, I can see you take up kickboxing!

That's great to hear!

We all need to take on some regular exercise routine ... walking or biking or swimming or weight resistance.  It does help.  But too many folks are afraid to try.

The last week I have been biking to work and back. The first couple of nights I was really tired and had a really deep sleep. I do feel more awake during the day when I do this. It might just be mental, but I do feel stronger.

I gained a lot more energy when I changed from using my permcath at a pump speed of 300 to my fistula at 450. The difference in clearance really makes a difference.

A healty life starts in a persons head remember that. I'm happy to hear that u have more energy °

Bumping the thread !

[nextnoel]

I started on CPAP about a week ago, and am surprised to find I fall asleep quickly now (10-15 min. as opposed to 2-3 hours after going to bed), even though I have a mask over my face and a machine blowing air up my nose!   The more I use the machine, the more I wonder how many of my energy-related symptoms were simply a matter of not getting sleep!

[okarol]

I was reading this thread again and it made me think about how much sleep Jenna needed on dialysis, which was a lot. Her sleep patterns are still kinda all over the place, but she seems to be sleeping better since the transplant. This wasn't immediate though, and sometimes I worried because she seemed almost as tired after her transplant as before. But I guess some of it had to do with recovering from surgery and also the new kidney needing to grow bigger.

[pdpatty]

I started hemo June 26 and seemed so energized at first. Now 6 mos later I am dog tired all the time. All my numbers are very good and clearance is too. On days I do dialysis I come out hungry and tired. All I want is to sleep

[kitkatz]

I am dog-tired no matter what time I go to bed. 5:45 a.m. is a bear to get up at in the mornings. School starts at 7:30 a.m.  My 6th graders are barely awake first period. Research shows adolescents do better in the late mornings on school work, so what do we do? We drag them to school at the butt crack of dawn!  If anyone has a secret formula for getting rid of dialysis exhaustion let me know!

[st789]

Tired, sleepy, low in-energy and too damn tired to raise my voice.

[KT0930]

Kitz, I'm right there with ya. I have to get up at 4:45 some mornings in order to have my son on the school bus at 6:45. I wish someone would tell me WHY he gets on the bus an hour before school starts for a ride that's less than five miles!

As for the magic bullet, I wish I knew, I'd be rich! 

[angela515]

Guess my kids are lucky. They get on the school bus at 7:45 and school starts at 8:00.

[Wattle]

   It's driving me crazy.... I am so exhausted all the time! 

I am sick of this rollercoaster...  STOP the ride I want to get OFF!!
