Fatigue and how bad

Yes i have the same problem. Something that i do that may take 15 mins makes me so tired, i feel like i was doing that task for hours. I have to take naps daily if i do anything or not. Yes if i over do it i'm down for a couple days not doing anything.

Hi freezinginAK!
I have the same problems. I can do light chores, it really wears me out. I have to take a few naps a day. Thanksgiving was a killer because we have visit both families. So we had to spent 3 hours at my families house and then drive for an hour to spend time with my husbands family. We ended up spending the night there because I wasn't up for the long drive home. It was nice spending time with family and I love it, but it was so hard to stay awake from 2-10pm. When I absoltely have to, I can make it that long, but I end up paying for it the next day. Meaning I have to spend the day after in bed.

Today, it snowed a little and all I did was shower, make a quick pizza from a box and that's it. I needed to go register my car and buy some dishwasher soap, but just couldn't do it. I am on Leave for work because I was missing so much. I was having a hard time staying awake and functioning at my desk. And then to drive home in heavy traffic after work sucked.

I can do light chores, laundry. Then nap. Clean cat box, then nap. Eat and then nap. It's really frustrating because I am super ambiscious, and want to do lots of things, but my body won't let me. It's like my body is a prison.

  Wow I'm glad I'm not going crazy. I have had this problem now for 12 years and none of my doctors can find out why. I've had so miny test that had come back normal that they had just stop taking them not knowing what was going on, even counseling for it with no help. I when't from a active life at 34 of hiking, biking, snowmachining, hunting and fishing always doing something on the weekends, Then I did a lot of overtime at work that pushed me to far and down I when't  to the ER and I still have not recovered from it, having p/a's etc. and have any of you tryed for SSI Disability for it won?

Yes. Every day I'm exhausted. It varies some from day to day, or rather it tends to go in phases, where I'm better for a few weeks and then worse for a few weeks. On bad days I can't do anything except lie down on the couch. On better days I might be able to do an errand, like go out to the store, but then I have to rest for several days afterward.
