Default Sally

It may be any of the suggestions offered. My initial thought was the new med dosage. I know it took me nearly 7 weeks to get fairly comfortable and stay awake when I started Lexapro. One day I napped for 14 hours. Got up showered and went down for another 10. After about a week of extreme naps. I started feeling great.

Now that I don't live in Ohio anymore and have no humidity to contend with, I do recall how it used to sap the life out of me. We didn't have a/c either. I've heard from friends quite a hot/dry spell is going on up by Lake E.

Sounds like you are keeping an eye on things. You know yourself and I trust, when, and if the time comes a call to your doc will be made. For now just follow your bodys cues. Take care.

Sorry you have to sleep so much Sally.

I used to live in a humid city down south. Sucked the energy right out of me. While I still have fatigue issues, they tend to be worse only when I am having other symptoms.

Changing my meds knocks me for a loop. If I were 20 years younger it wouldn't matter, but being older means I don't bounce back quite like I used to.

Hope this resolves for you soon.

You have all said it so so well. Cindy, yes! Getting ready to go somewhere takes all the joy out of going and even thinking takes too much energy, Taffy.

Chris, Msacorn and Cricket, yes, the med change has not been easy and possibly could be the nail in the coffin, so to speak, but think it's just the good old MS Summer Fatigue thingy. We all suffer from this.

I'm so happy for those of you in dryer regions and don't have the horrible humidity. Actually it's been dry here...we could use some rain.

Yes Doydie and 0357....the H&H seem to permiated even the best built, A/C home. I admit that I do leave a back door open for the dog to go out.

I feel good, other than being exhausted, so don't worry about me. I'm outta that funk I was in, thank God. I'm looking more for someone to ***** with me...not sympathy.

Where is Empathy Man? I want to slap him around a bit.. Maybe put a fur coat on him and send him out in the heat to do Cheryl's yardwork.

Ooh, pick me, pick me! (arm raised, wildly waving in the air)
