Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Hi trublu - I have FMS too, but don't know what to tell you about your low energy. It could be the FMS, but for two weeks seems like a lot. I would get some bloodwork done to see if you are low in something, possibly B12 or iron, or maybe you have a virus. Congrats on the 90 pounds. That is great. Hope you feel better soon. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 259./150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@...

If it is low, you will be low on energy. Get it checked if you have not already. Hugs, --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi Tracey, I take the B-12 dots every day, but I did get a B-12 shot the other day at the docs. He gave it to me right after he took bloodwork, and when we got the bloodwork back, I didn't need the B-12 cause it was on the higher end of normal..... I didn't have a nap today, but I sure am feeling it. Also feeling a bit achy, fibro is beginning to act up yet again. It has to be the changing weather, all I can figure. Hugs, Hi ........ I had my surgery Nov 20 2001 and i to am still having LOW energy. I take a nap every afternoon. Which before i did not. I am not taking B12, my dr. said i shouldn't need it until i am a year out. Which did not make sence. But hey she is the dr. I am not sure what the answer is either. Do you take b12's by tablet form? I am but does not seem to make a difference.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Get your B12 checked. Some needed it PRE-OP, so we can't go by charts, only by blood work. I didn't need it for 6 yrs.
