Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I am taking isocort. It has really helped boost my energy level. You are supposed to take Siberian gensing with it. Modern Herbalist has it and there's a less expensive one I'd have to look up. Diane Mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 For me it was a lack of exercise. At first my fatigue was unbearable, I work for a railway and staying awake is a must. When ever I ate I got so sleepy. Not good when one is looking for rail traffic signals. I found a good hour in the gym with at least 10 minutes on a stair climber every other day, gave me back the needed energy. I can't stress the exercise part enough when fighting this problem. It helps me with my digestion mostly, also I sleep better because my back feels stronger. Every morning I would pound back a couple glasses of water and my yeast buster kit (phsylium husk and bentonite) wait 30 minutes and then hit the gym. I found getting the blood flowing and sweating helps to purge alot of the dieoff. I'm actually curious how many people here spend most thier day sitting at work. For me i would spend an average of 6 - 12 hours on an engine, arrive at the away from home terminal, and sleep, then do it all again on the return trip. I usually spend an average of 20 hours on a trip. All that sitting is very stressfull on the lower organs. But also finding the energy to drag one's self into the gym can be just as stressful. Good luck. JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Your respiratory function is probably somewhat depressed.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi Roslyn, I was told by my doctor and my physical therapist that the reason we lose our energy is that our muscles fatigue very easy. Because our spines are so twisted you have muscles that are also being pulled in a direction that is unnatural. Our bodies are working harder than normal just to keep us upright. Then after the surgery you are straighter but now your muscles have been cut and it is hard for them to get strong again. As far as energy level after the surgery. I don't know if I had more energy. First it takes a while before you get your energy back after surgery. Just speaking for myself and everyone is different ever since my last surgery 4 years ago I don't sleep more than 6 hours a night. I pretty much go all day, may take a cat nap if I am home around 2:00 and then go to around 10:30 at night. I work part time, have two teenagers and I am constantly running. I also find I am better if I just keep moving because once I sit down, I feel like every muscle gets tight and it is hard to start going again. Unfortunately my muscles still fatigue easily. I hope this helps. Good luck with your surgery. You will be energized just by looking at yourself after the surgery and not believing that you finally have a " straight " or " straighter " back. I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror. Something I avoided for years. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my first surgery was at age 13. After my surgeries in my 40's, and the one this year (I'm 51 ), I have had a lack of energy. I do recommend Gentle Yoga classes, which have helped with more energy and pain relief. I take a class at Kaiser, but there is a video out there you can buy, on VHS and DVD. Good luck! in Oakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
