now i think you will be the first i've heard of that doe's, most get real tired, even for a couple days after. so if you do then feel lucky.
i don't get as tired as i first did. but i still have to lay down after, just for a bit. age may have something to do with it. and yes i am an old monkey. lol

I went home and cleaned my entire house after. hmmmm. I have only felt tired after one and I have concluded that was because it was a morning appt and I hadn't had an entire days worth of food and liquid.

well shucks. you not only feel better than most you get productive to boot. next phleb you can come over and clean my entire tree!! lol
i am glad for you really. one thing to remember is to drink lots of fluids prior to and after .

I think that is one reason why i don' t feel bad at all. My diet is super rick in healthy foods and I drink water all day long every day. I make sure I don't go hungry at all. Took me an hour before I could wind down at the end of the night. Strange. ha ha

jbelar, Yes I do sometimes get a total high from my phlebs. I get very wired and think everything is funny. I wish it woulld do that every time. LOL It usually happens when my blood pressure drops and I do not pass out. I think our body releases endorphines or adrenalin to help compesate. So You are not alone.

I get very tired but also very anxious at times in fact rather than getting better it seems to be getting worse. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas other than just napping for passing the tired times...I feel fuzzy minded and also like my life is being taken from me...do you listen to music, watch TV, mediate...or what. I get very bored. Thanks for any ideas.

I try and do crosswords and then sit there staring at the clues and cant remember the answers. Its funny sometimes because even simple answers seem to delude me. When that fails I watch telly and hug the dog. X

After my first phleb my energy went through the roof for days and couldn't wait till the next one but now either I feel the same or more tired. I wish that I had that burst of energy every time.

I always have a high sugar drink in the 15mins or so before a phleb and do not feel tired after, the only time I did was when I did not have a high sugar drink (normally a low fizz soft drink or sports type drink). Can't say if they are linked or not, but suspect the insulin spike helps combat that immediate physical tiredness. Also as I normally have my phlebs before lunch I normally eat soon after, which may also help?
