fatigued

Posted by boredsilly @boredsilly, Dec 15, 2017

After 3 stents, cardio inversion, pnemonia, pacemaker, nebulizer, various inhalers, I'm still fatigued-quit the nebulizer for a day as I thought it was not working, I went back to it today, Better than nothing. Any suggestions, as I'm going nuts just sitting around-good thing I have a caring spouse!!!

I am so glad to know I'm not the only person who has terrible fatigue issues and had lost interest in any activities. I am only 49 years old and have finally been diagnosed with OLD & UIP. I used to work 2 work 2 jobs and now I cannot make it a full day at my full-time job because of my awful fatigue. My sister is urging me to apply for disability benefits. Does anyone have experience with this. I'm just wondering if I could even be approved. Also, can you work part-time and still be in disability?

Here is the good news disability applications and payment IS NOT affected by the government shutdown. I think that a phone call is a good sign. They do verify income and they will request medical records from your docs. My prayers are with you and I hope your visit to Mayo gives you a better chance of understanding your outcome. Would you mind telling me your diagnosis?

@ppeschke Hello. Are you still getting online with us? I am wondering how you are doing. How did your visit to Mayo go?
