I've been really run down lately

15 years ago

I run out of steam really quickly. Yesterday I went to the dentist, then food shopping. When I came home, I crashed on the couch for 3 hours before I could muster up the energy to do anything else.

Trying to get through the day at work is difficult.

My recent bloodwork showed nothing wrong.

I'm on HRT and will be seeing my GYN on Thursday for my annual. Maybe she will have some insights.

I feel pretty lousy too, but I'm used to it. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. You mentioned blood work. Were your levels of ANA and C-reactive protein tested? If not, you might want to have your doctor look at that. The C-reactive protein measures inflammation and the ANA test measures antibodies suggestive of an auto-immune disease

I'm having more trouble recently too. I think our bodies know when Winter is coming, and we're supposed to slow down.
I got out my old Bright Light the other day, hoping it would give me a little help. I'm also coming off Zoloft, because its giving me too many irregular heartbeats, so I'm not looking forward to the next few months. Hopefully on December 21, when the days start getting longer, we'll get a little energy back.

That's a shame. This is the last year that this herbicide will be able to be used, it's being yanked. It should have been banned from lawn use years ago. The worst of the active ingredients is Clopyralid. Also has 2,4-D in it, I believe. Be sure that you don't use grass clippings for compost or mulch. It is even recommended that such clippings not be put in landfills! Some woody plants are very susceptible to clopyralid damage. I don't know if yours is or not. Any trees planted in the lawn? If I were you, I would located the toll free number for Momentum (it'll be on line somewhere) and ask them about your concerns. This chemical does not break down readily in the soil. Ask them how long your grass clippings will be a problem, and how long non-target plants could be affected. Then call your lawn care company and educate them.

Brenda, it is nice when even family members are enablers, eh? LOL!! I actually keep telling my husband "There's this garden in Western NY that someday we have to go visit!" I would love to see your beautiful garden some day. The different areas you have planted and the variety is amazing. I've been lusting for some more photos from you. Would love to see what you have on file for your veggie garden from last year if you have any time to post some. Goodness! I finally cracked open the catalog for my local nursery who I really like to support. She's a true plantswoman who I so enjoy chatting with, etc. I just sent an email over to her with my "list" (is was a long one) of plants to put aside for me for pickup when they open. It's a terrible habit I have of giving her a list each year for pickup. But my birthday is always right around when she opens, so it's a birthday present, right?!?! LOL!

Ouch. A stiff gel/paste mix with a Ph neutral cleaner and poultice + baking soda may help lift, you may also want to cover the paste in saran wrap while it sets for 48 hrs...after which I would be utilizing an extractor to suck out the stain rather than wet liquids to carry it further down into the stone. Knowing that you have a laticrete waterproofing and mesh underneath id leave tearing out the tile as a last resort as it may compromise the waterproofing opening a bigger issue. If you find the stain to be very topical and not so deep set you may also ask youre installer about polishing down the pan with successive diamond grits/poulstice to remove the top most layer -,(******** not for the rookie polisher) - best of luck

I've been having the same sort of issues.I just chalked it up to the fact that I'm in hibernation mode because it's so cold outside I dont want to do anything.
Also,I'am on Lexapro and one of the side effects is fatigue.
