Fatigue

[Mark Dunne]

How in gods name do people deal with fatigue. In the last week alone I've spent more time in bed than I have out of it. I get my 8 hours at night but come 10/11 in the morning I'm fit for bed again.

If I come up with a solution I will let you know!

Hope the tide turns quickly for you!

I noticed my hematocrit and hemoglobin numbers were not just low, but way below normal. I brought it to his attention and he ordered 4 weekly iron infusions for me. I've had 2 so far and I feel like it's made a difference.
