Does anyone suffer from severe fatigue due to chronic illness? It's just hell. I suffer from mental illness and ulcerative colitis and I have no energy to do anything. Even reading takes too much effort. I feel trapped in my body.
I could deal with everything if it weren't for the fatigue. Everyday I wake up with bags under my eyes exhausted.
My eyes are burning from the fatigue I can't take it anymore

Yeah, I have chronic muscle spasticity including spasms throughout the day. My neurogenic bladder keeps me up at night.ahse I have a constant urge to empty my bladder.

The result is I dose off during the day sleep at awkward moments. Have a bad rep for not paying attention.

Life will be better after ctb

It's not severe anymore since I started mega dosing iodine, but yeah it's still moderate. Have had insomnia since I was a kid, mental illness and nightmares since day 1, also have various chronic illness like Lyme and digestive disorders etc. Sinusitis too, so between the insomnia and not being able to breathe through my nose most of the night and the nightmares, sleep is rough. Worsens the fatigue from the Lyme and digestive shit.

I understand the eye burning feeling. It's been my friend for a long time.

Sorry you're in this boat mate. It sucks. I am so damn tired, looking forward to true rest.

It varies in severity on a day to day basis, but the combination of constant migraines and depression cycles leaves me very fatigued constantly. Just sitting up or preparing food quickly exhausts me. I sleep about 10-12 hours a day and I never really stop feeling tired. I'm sorry you also have to deal with chronic fatigue.

I'm always painfully exhausted from a combination of mental and physical (neurological) issues. It's 3pm and I'm still struggling to get out of bed even with caffeine and Adderall.

i've dealt with a (primarily) neck/back problem for almost a decade now which has affected just about every aspect of my life and given me a plateful of other physical problems and mental problems, which are hard to summarize but it includes getting fatigued, feeling uncoordinated, unable to think straight, etc etc. and of course, i tell people this and they think im crazy and its in my head since im young and a simple "pain in the neck" shouldnt be responsible for all of that (if they did some research they'd find that to be false) so im at the point where i no longer even talk about it and just survive through the pain every day, bouncing between my workplace and my bedroom, making little to no progress in life. and those same people wonder why im so behind in life and spend all of my free time isolating myself.... lmao.

people cant know unless they experience it themselves. most ppl really cant comprehend being in constant pain/discomfort, its only natural for it to break your spirits. good health is very much taken for granted and having to live with an intrusive problem from day to day will make life hell. im sorry you have to deal with this and hope you at least are able to find some good ways to cope.

I've had permanent chronic fatigue for over 6 years now, its a bloody nightmare and I'm truly sorry you have to endure this shit day after day too. UC is an awful disease, having inflammation attack such a critical area of the body leads to so many nasty downstream effects. On top of that, I know the immunosuppressive treatments can be brutal and have a plethora of unwanted side effects.

To lack energy is one of the worst maladies one can suffer with, in my honest opinion. Pain can often be quelled and numbed with medication, but there is no remedy for that heavy, unrelenting tiredness that follows you around like a dark cloud all the time when your body is worn out and exhausted. When no amount of sleep relieves it, the fatigue is a special kind of hell.

Most people take breaks every now and then, they get to feel rested or rejuvenated in some way before they go back to living their lives. The world constantly stays in motion. Few understand how devastating it feels to be unable to keep up with it. I wish none of us had to know this feeling.

Interesting... I was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis at 10, and by 16 I had to get the colostomy then ileostomy (I had most of my intestine removed). I have severe chronic fatigue, mental illness and other issues. I'm 41 now, the only relief I've ever had was the time I was able to consume super nutrients, eat healthier, and run on a treadmill 5 times per week, but that only lasted for 6 months, and I've never been able to make it a lifestyle. How old are you? Have you been able to work? (I don't) Do you live an independent life? (I don't).

Chronic kidney disease. It's hell. Just a general feeling of being extremely unwell. Insane fatigue, brain fog, confusion, memory problems, social deficits. Feels like I'm experiencing life in an unpleasant daze.

I googled it. Brutal. But doctor's ignorance is even more brutal.

It sounds like celiac or an allergic raction. Ban wheat, corn, soy, all grains, processed stuff, chemicals, coffee, hot spices.

Eat bone broth from boiling real joints for the collagen jello. Eat veggies for the vitamin c & fresh meat.

I take supplements of c, b, magnesium, d...

Your "psychiatric" issues are from those brutal nutrition deficiencies.

Avoid acids. Avoid the nightshade family they're half toxic (tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco)

Eat broccoli, carrots, celery, zuchini... Kale... cucumbers, apples, blueberries, boston salad is nice (not iceberg too pale to nourish)

Some people are allergic to eggs but I need them

No rice but it's the least bad.

No msg

Wheat cause inflammation & vitamin c (greens etc) heals it.

Doctors supress the immune system blaming the victim. Magnesium relaxes muscles. Corticosteroids (cortisol) almost killed me, I started raking C & B to make my own.

B to burn energy, C to heal the burn.

Best wishes.

Stop takingvstimulants & feed your body.

B to burn energy
C to heal the burn

Respect your limit or you'll have to extra rest later. Later is now.

I was hit by a car. I had to diagnose myself because they said it's just in my head. I was bleeding!

Whiplash (neck) concussion (brain damage from the brain getting smashed by too fast motion change, or impact?)

Brain nerve can grow with B. Vitamin c is best for inflamation..? Best for pretty much everything

The purpose of sleep is to make repairs. If you don't need the materials for it, it won't work. If you push yourself further your limits you will have to catch up with extra rest. For me it took decades... But I kept getting hurt. And after 3 horrors I just broke... I'm done

Yeah. I do...

It's been getting so much worse over the past years. Maybe because of some weird racial prejudice in my country (or so it has been suggested in many places), doctors refuse to do proper tests to find a cause. Sleepiness and fatigue hit like a truck during even moments where it's high stress like driving now, and giving into sleeping minimized the available hours one might've had to eat. The cycle perpetuates and then family misunderstands and sinply sees it as laziness.

Whether it is actually caused by an underlying illness, for me I don't know. But falling asleep because body's too heavy while eating is becoming a bother. I'll never be able tp hold a job between this and social anxiety.

I am chronically fatigued, I think due to depression.
