Re: Re:Are you tired too??

Hi Kenika,

What a beautiful name you have! I wanted to welcome you to the group. Sorry

you have been diagnosed with IgAN though.

The fatigue and pain you describe are unfortunately very common with IgAN. I

don't get the severe flank pain, only occasionally a dull ache, but I

certainly get hit hard with the fatigue!

Sometimes I need 11+ hours of sleep a night, and 10 at a minimum. I still

work full time, and by the weekend, I am pretty wiped out.

I know how hard it is to be tired and have small children, so my heart goes

out to you. Mine are grown now, so it is a little easier, but I well remember

how it was when they were small.

Welcome again to the group Kenika.

Hi Darren,

I just had to comment on what a great email that is you wrote to Kenika. I

really believe you are right on the need to stay positive. Counting your

blessings REALLY helps.

I am with you Rita! My kids are grown too and I do find it difficult to work

and take care of the house. It seems to be getting harder the last couple of

years too.

I am glad I am not the only one who turns in so early some nights~
