@loribmt Thanks for the info on weight. In high school, I weighed around 120, and all through college about but when I got married in 1965 I only weighed 90. Before Feb. 2022 I was 106 and then all my body went into total fatigue and down went the pounds. Still down no matter what or how much I eat. I still have no energy to do what I need to. We eat out two meals a day because I can barely stand for long enough to cook, do dishes, or do housework. I have been able to keep up with laundry. I have asked but no one seems interested in my diet. I am just trying to keep going and improve a little each day. KLH

It has to be so incredibly frustrating for you to have this level of fatigue. I looked back on some older conversations because I remember having some chats with you in the “What’s outside your picture window?” group…then there was a lag. And I just realized that you had some event in February and that was the start of your tiredness and weight loss.
Have you had a second opinion? “Total Fatigue”, for me, would be a questionable diagnosis out of the blue. Were you checked for Lyme Disease? Any latent EBV or CMV? It’s weird that your life changed so abruptly without some cause, especially if your blood numbers are good. Though you did say your Hb is down. Did you have your ferritin level checked? There are a number of members in our Covid Vaccination group who have experienced drops in their RBC, Hb and ferritin levels. I’m just curious if you’ve had that checked?
I know your background is laboratory & blood analysis so my asking you is like a student asking the teacher. 😂. But this level of fatigue, I’d want to know more! And especially since you’ve lost so much weight too.
Too bad you’re not up where I live, there’s a Drive thru chain with Concrete Malts…if you want a guarantee to put on pounds…that’s your secret to success right there…and elastic waist pants! 😂
