Had my MRI yesterday, all went well.  Took about an hour. . .I fell asleep in the darned thing! I didn't need any ear plugs or headphones, it was pretty quiet. Had contrast the last 5 minutes. My next appt. in on July 5th, to hear the report.This fatigue is really getting to me, it's like I am sleeping all night AND all day! My life is wasting away!  I WILL NOT TAKE A NAP TODAY! I tell myself that everyday, I pray that God gives me energy to be the wife and mother He would have me be.  I clean the kitchen and I need to take a nap! I don't even have the energy to cook dinner! I haven't cooked in almost a month! When I go to the grocery store, I can't even figure out what to get! Or, I just get confused. . .I can't even explain it. But I can tell you it's extremely frustrating!Well, it's Friday, that means a very busy weekend. Our weekends never stop! My husband's band has practice tonight, two shows tomorrow, a Worshipfest, and then a show at a Christian nightclub. We are all very excited! Both are in different towns, so we'll be doing a lot of driving! We usually have a caravan of about 5 cars full of people! We need a bus!!!! It sure would save on gas.  Well pray for our safety, and for the Holy Spirit to move in a powerful way.Enough rambling on. . .Love to allSheri

Sheri,
Have you tried taking more, shorter naps. My acupuncturist warns about napping too much (I guess you disrupt your sleep cycle). I don\'t know how long you normally nap but I think several 15 - 30 min naps might be better than 1 longer on.

YEP THAT\'S ME...LARRY
I NEED TO KEEP ON A NITE SLEEPING ROUTINE OR THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO
WILL SLEEP FOR 3 1/2 HRS DURING THE DAY AFTER A DAY IN THE GARDEN. IT\'S A MATTER OF KEEPING MY SELF ON A SCHEDULE WHICH I\'M NOT SO GOOD AT.
SHERRI..GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND. AT LEAST YOUR GETTING SOME REST FOR THE EVENTS.
HUGS AND PRAYERS

Wow, it sounds like an exciting, busy week-end! I hope you can get some rest in there. I totally understand the \"brain fog\" and confusion as well as the extreme fatigue. I told the Lord that if He had anymore for me in his plan, I would definitely need more energy. Similar to what you are expressing, I was sleeping 10-12 hours per night and napping and barely able to take care of myself and my family. Right now I have energy and my mind is so much clearer. I am now wondering what the Lord has in store for me! I sleep 7-8 hours and take an occasional refreshing nap. There is hope!
