Hi guys, I am 7 weeks in and currently taking 3rp and half a super 3xs a day. This week has hit me like a Mack truck. I wake up sleepy and have stayed so sleepy all day. I even had to take a nap one day which I never ever do. I am pretty sure this die off and my body healing (that makes it much more bearable). I know we are all so different but I am just wondering who experienced this and how long did it last for you. My girls might be getting lots of TV time soon so mommy can rest.
I have just turned a corner
I have just turned a corner on this. For now anyway. My symptoms changed almost daily the first 5 months in tx. I went through about 2 weeks of extreme fatigue. Just within the past 2 weeks I have had some increase in energy. I still wake up alot at nightand stay awake for hours so I am very thankful for those naps. I can only imagine how difficult this all is with little ones. I had my 5 year old grandson for 4 hours yesterday and it wiped me out :) just keep letting Boaz know. Sorry this isn't more encouraging but time is everything in this treatment.

Gnerally, I have a HUGE amount of energy- despite the IC I can run circles aorund most of my friends. However every now and then, I ahve been hit with fatigue which usually only lsts a few days soemtimes a week. It is hard not to fear that this is "New Thing" that will go on forever but it usually passes quickly for me!
Yeah- I hear you about the TV- we used to be a NO screen family. I had to accept that it would be ok for my youngest to watch a bit so I could get uninterrupted breaks every now and then. it doesn't make me happy but it is ok- part of the surrender to reality that i haev had to do.
Your body is working hard! My
Your body is working hard! My fatigue usually comes later in the day if I have any, or else I nap at 3pm for 20 minutes. Sometimes I have to! Other times I can go weeks without it and my energy is really good. The big challenge (especially with young kids) is to listen to your body.
If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
