Ok, I have total fatigue, 2 days until my Cimzia shot, it seems like I get very fatigued a couple days before my shot. I am. Thinking maybe I need to change my anti depressant, I feel like I can.... Totally lost my train of thought, the problem is I numb myself with a cocktail so I don't have to think about this and try to decide which it is, the antidepressant not doing it's job or is it needing the Cimzia now.
Soooooo exhausted! I will try to discuss this with my Rheumy, have an appointment on the 27 th of this month.
So sorry if I'm confusing I will try to read your post and understand it.

I just hope this is not a sign that the Cimzia is loosing effectiveness!

At the end of the article it says it all - "I'm tired of being tired!"

Yes,
I am tired of being tired too. I said that yesterday to my fiance and he said , well it's better than laying on the bed crying and screaming in pain...and he is right...but I still am frustrated that I cannot do any of the things that I enjoyed. We used to take long trips, 3or 4 thousand miles on our motorcycle..now my fiance takes short day trips alone. I used to make jewelry, cook and bake all of the time...now I have to sit down to just get a simple meal on the table.
I am thankful that the pain is under control for now...but I morn for the normal life we all take for granted.

I've always said, that for me, the fatigue is as bad as the pain because it limits my life so much. In addition to RA, I have Fibro and Sjorgrens, all of which cause fatigue. All the meds that my Rheumy has had me try, none ever help with fatigue. The Methotrexate helps with pain a bit, but really increases the fatigue. This just never ends. I miss all the things I used to do. When I look back at everything I was involved in, plus worked full time with at-risk kids in an alternative high school, all I can say is , " Who was that woman and where did she go!"

I had the same conversation with myself just this week -

I used to work 70 hours a week plus work my little landscaping business 20 hours a week. Then on top of that keept up with taking care of our house, 2 outbuildings and 6 acres of property.

I look back at that and it amazes me how different I am now. The worst part of it all is I loved working that much and being active all the time - always doing something.

Now it is a feat just to get to the mailbox and back.......

Coal train, you are so on the money with "I'mtired of being tired"

Set out my Cimzia shot for room temp about an hour ago, going to shoot myself before I go to,bed and I know I will feel awesome in the morning!!!

I hope!
