tired all the time
by Neale
(Cape Town South Africa)
I am 61 years old . I have had crohns for about 18 years , I have had two ops . I am however , from what I have read one of the lucky ones . I have very little pain or bleeding . I am however tired all the time . In the morning I am ok for the first two hours , but there after I dont last longer than an hour and then I have to rest or sleep for an hour and so it goes on throught out the day , every day . If I do any physical or indeed mental work during my good moments I dont last more that a half hour . My doctor says he does not think my symptoms are crohns related , there must be something else wrong with me . I have had all other medical possibities checked out and I am told everything else is fine . Is anyone having similar symptons ? . I really want to get to the bottom of my problems as life is so frustrating when one can not plan anything and /or do anything through out the day . If these are indeed crohns problems then my doctor must try and find some solutions and I must keep bugging him , but if I am the "the only one , as he says , then i must try and find some other answers .
