Hi Keith, I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2017 and see a GI specialist at Mayo Clinic. Are you seeing a GI specialist. If not, I would encourage you to find one that will look at you as a whole person and be on your side with a bit more compassion.
So many things can cause fatigue and I feel it is best to try and figure out the root cause. Also, are you getting enough quality sleep? This past summer I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Multifactorial Chronic Fatigue and sleep apnea. I feel much better now that I use a CPAP.
Have you had bloodwork done to see if you are possibly anemic? I have been anemic a couple of times and found it hard to function. Hang in there, you are not alone.
wow what a stupid answer. why didn't he give answers for how to help, the fatigue. I would of walked out. I do know "Crohns" can be really bad or ok for now, kind of life. And Stress does not help it. Not with me anyway. does anyone take Imodium? and how many a day does anyone take. I am finding out as I get olde, seems like more, I have to take. I have had I Crohns since I was 17. and now am 64. I do know you have to take good care your body and what you eat, that agrees with you. And lay low when you don't feel good...
