I have had severe lethargy for the last few days. I get up from my bed intent on staying up, roast, grind and brew some coffee and come here which is kinda like play I mean a good kind of play because it is so rewarding and all I gotta do is sit and type. I am a most excellent typist only the darn keyboard keys keep moving around on me. Anyway, I get up with strong intent take several steps, start to turn up the thermostat, but turn around and head back to bed before I turn it up. Over and over this would happen. I manage to empty, wash, and refill the kitty litter box. My cats are clean cats. They check my handy work when I am done to make sure it is clean. I went to my doc today. I have many physical medical reasons for bad fatigue plus my mental reasons. He says with all the pain meds that I am on, I might have a slight bacteria infection on top of everything else. However, of late the fatigue has gotten much, much more severe. Life is not worth living like this. I got my monthly B-12 shot, a strong anti-inflammatory shot, (its not a pain med: reduces the inflammation only-super relief), blood drawn, and if nothing shows up a consideration for mood elevators to counter the fatigue side effects of pain meds and other reasons for fatigue.
I have a good tired now. For me there is a good tired and a bad tired. I walked a fast puny mile and a half miles today, but it helped with my mood and need for good sleep. I am going to eat, soak in a hot tub, and have a good sleep with my best friendmy super duper heating pad.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
