Crohns Makes Me Tired

by Judi on August 23, 2008

I finished up my 14 day round of antibiotics (flagyl & cipro) on Tuesday.. actually, I only had one pill to take on Tuesday, so really, I finished most of it up on Monday.

Me Enzo Ella Sleeping

By Thursday, my body was dragging so hard.  I could just sit in a chair and sleep.  I ended up going to bed with the boys that night – at 8:30 or so and only got up a couple times to tinkle through the night.  Got out of bed at 6:30 Friday morning, took pain medicine for my sciatica nerve issue (which isn’t lessening any) and laid on the couch.  The boys were great and let me sleep off and on until about 9:30.  That is way more sleep than I ever get..


Through the day I was ok, I felt slow or sluggish a few times, but made it through the day fine.  And today, I’m back to feeling exhausted again.  I mean, I could just sit here, in my chair, at my computer / register and close my eyes.. just sit here and dose… maybe a sign that says “Wake me when you are ready to checkout.”

I tried to blame it on the heat, on not having my anti-depressants earlier in the week.. but I think it’s just crohn’s, plain and simple,  it makes me tired, drains my body of energy.
