Fainting like Scarlet O'Hara

Well I have had some issues the last 3 days. I have been extremely tired. Especially every afternoon. I have been laying down every afternoon around 10 or 11 I lay there a few hours in the bed. I can’t get to sleep so I get up and do a little chore that needs done. Like cleaning the kitchen today. It took maybe 30 minutes and I thought I was going to have to sit down. I drove to the blood place just fine at 7 this morning but was giving out standing in line. Thank goodness Jason called me back there 1st or I would have to get out of line and sat down. Just NO energy. Now my stomach doesn’t hurt, I don’t feel like I have the flu. I have not been jittery or excited like my blood pressure is high. There has been no throwing up, no temp, nothing except very tired. Like today sitting on the couch I wanted to change the TV channel and I had the remote in my hand but moving my finger and pushing another button seemed like a lot of work especially since I did not know what to watch. Now that behavior is way over the edge for me! Then about 2; 30 I finally got up off the couch, (after much debate with myself about it) I walked into the kitchen went to reach a bowl and fainted dead away. I have only got up about ten times since then and felt like I was going to faint each time. But luckily have made it to a chair each time. I was going to say there appears to be no other symptoms just extremely tired and fainting, but as I look at this paragraph there are about 30 words miss typed…so maybe there is another small problem.

I go to Dr CavalIant tomorrow; he will have the blood work from this AM. I have not found and blood in my stool but I wonder if my hemoglobin has fallen and that is why I am feeling so weak. We will see. I am going to try to drive myself if I am not fainting in the morning, if I am Mike said to give him a call at work and he will take me. My appointment is at 9 AM..We will see.
I really should be counting my blessings because I really don’t feel sick... It's probably nothing, I will let you know.

Okay it's now Friday afternoon, what did the doctor say about your blood results?

I never had to do chemo, but towards the end of my radiation treatments I was just plum worn out. Could hardly drag my fat butt around to get things done that needed to be done. I don't remember feeling this way ten years agao when I went through it the first time and I was also working full time while going through the treatments, but I am ten years older, so I blame that. LOL After all have to blame something.

Take care, rest when you feel tired, even if you aren't sleeping you are resting. You posted a few times some of the things you had been doing and believe me it sounded to me like you were over doing things. Hang in there.
