never rains but it pours

[Guest guest]

I am going for Chest Xray tomorrow for TB/sarcoidosis tests, as the fatigue, apetite loss and night sweats suggest to the doc that this is worth testing for.

I am finding the fatigue more of a nuisance than the pain/oedema in my right ankle and foot, as my dad died last week down in London and, as the only child, there is the usual massive amount of organising and admin to do following that, plus having to travel up and down from Glasgow, somehow fit in some time at work, so the salary keeps coming and also not let my council constituents down by totally neglecting them.

Husband and kids are being absolute bricks and very supportive, despite both kids being in the middle of their very important national and university exams just now.

I am starting to think I might need to ask the doc to sign me off work for a bit, when the funeral is out of the way.

Regards Nina Baker

1st EN outbreak from early April 2010, awaiting tests for cause. Mainly on right leg but also left knee and both arms

Nina,

I am sorry to hear about your father. Stress is not good for EN, or so many of us are led to believe. It tends to get the en up and running for some.

And, you are right, the fatigue was far worse for me then any other symptom.
