I have always been a busy person and just lately have been experiencing the same thing! I have gotten so tired feeling when doing chores etc and was wondering if it is getting older? Now am thinking it is the bronchiectasis I have. Thanks for bringing a new light on the subject.
Ho Toni - It's Fatigue - with a capital F!
I think it's the very bronchiectasis itself, and the fact that our lungs must work harder than a normal lung just to provide air.
For 3 days we prepared & closed our tiny house to come home, but have learned to pace ourselves - we used to try to do it in a day. Then 2 14 hour days on the road (over 12 hours each day of driving time.) Today I turned off the alarm and slept in but I still feel limp. In about 10 minutes, I will follow my own advice and take a 30 minute nap, so I have enough energy to unpack a bag or two - only the coolers and immediate needs have even been removed from the car - but I did check Connect, answer the emails from 5 days, and balance my checkbook.
I have learned that when I feel like this, taking a pause is the most effective thing - so I'll skip my walk and let the laundry sit until tomorrow.
Have you tried either a "power nap" (20-30 minutes) or a longer one on these days? Does it help?
