I have had or have the most worst lethargy that I ever, ever had. It just ain't worth living this way. I went to my internist doc. He has learnt a lot about my main medical condition: short bowel syndrome from knowing me. He is not shy about saying "I'll get back to you on that." He always up for learning and doing research. I even shared with him that I have been worried that my body was getting ready to die. Out of the five sbs folks that I have known personally, three have died from unexpected symptoms popping up. He gave me a serious look and said, "We ain't going to have any of that." When we rule out any traceable reason or reasons for the huge increase in fatigue, we will consider mood alleviators. He told me to force myself to get out and exercise. Exercise is a must med for me. Without it my accelerated aging would go unchecked and I would die for sure. So, I force myself to do a fast short walk yesterday and one today. I did one and a half yesterday and three miles today. I do feel much better. I don't feel most exuberant but much better.

I so much would like waking up from a sleep and be ready to go. I bet there are plenty of you in here who have bad fatigue also. A few of you have spoken up. Are there more of you? What do you do to counter the bad fatigue?
