This was a struggle I had a lot. Eventually I was diagnosed with MS, and I knew that I had no choice but to be tired. It took some time but I learned to forgive myself and accept that I just won’t have energy some days, and I actually have more energy because of it.
What’s MS? I feel the same way where I am tired no matter what, like my body gets tired from doing everyday body processes.
Multiple sclerosis, its an autoimmune condition where your immune system eats your myelin sheath, a protective coating around the axon of certain neurons. If fatigue is your only symptom, you probably don’t have it, but if you are experiencing other neurological issues (blindness, numbness in the hands or feet, dropfoot), I’d suggest seeing a neurologist.
I have been experiencing some footdrop since childhood yea, especially in my right leg, to the point sometimes my slippers fall off. Problem is neurologists are expensive and I don’t have any money especially right now. Nor does my family have any money and I have been struggling with energy levels for weeks so going to a doctor and getting checked is a whole ordeal on its own.
I am sorry to hear that, but unfortunately it is a diagnosis of exclusion, so you would need a neurologist to perform several tests to know if you have it
That’s fine honestly, I know there’s something up with me but I haven’t been able to assess what. I hope one day in the future.
i figured out what was draining my energy (by accident) and i minimized it as much as possible.
Until you’re like me and you overdo the things you want to do despite exhaustion leads to burnout, and that makes the things you want to do not enjoyable at all.
