So today is all about tiredness. How can you go from working 7 days a week, 10 hours a day, still having a life to then a couple of hours with the grandkids on the beach and in the park knocking you out for 24 hours.
I'm not exactly fit, haven't been for years, I fell off a land rover back in the mid 80's during basic training that put an end to my army career, since then I've had back and knee issues. In later life my knee developed arthritis through the knock it took in the accident plus I've got fibromyalgia, asthma and COPD, so I suppose at the moment PC isn't exactly the worst of my conditions.
Is it the meds or the PC that causes the extremely fatigue, I know all about fatigue from the fibro but nothing like this. I know that the hormone side effects are tiredness and fatigue and so are the meds I was given, but this bad. My day usually starts 0700 I'm up, I make myself and the wife a drink and spend an hour with the grandkids before my daughter gets up and they start getting ready for school. Usually sometime between 0730-0830 I fall asleep on my chair, if I'm lucky I've still got my coffee in my hand and I wake up before the kids go to school when the coffee spills, if not usually I'm awake between 0930-1000, today not much different except after yesterday I was up as usual at 0700, by 0800 I was asleep in my chair again but this time 1055 I was woken by my dogs barking.
Is this normal, I know I'm not gonna peg it in the next month or two and reading what others have posted I've hopefully got many more years in front of me but I don't want to sleep those years away. I want to do things, after I'm gone I want my granddaughters to remember me as the fun happy Pops who spent time with them, was there for them and who they played with and had fun, not to be the Pops they remember who was always sleeping , too tired to go out with them or even wave them off to school.
I'm trying exercise, not much, along with everything else I've got I'm a fat git so just a little extra walking, hence metal detecting. What else do people do, even though I was raised in Scotland, the best part of the UK and as kids we were always swimming in lochs and rivers I refuse to go swimming because the pools are too cold. Yeah this big miserable biker is a wimp when it comes to cold water lol. All our local pools are freezing, I swim when on holiday if the seas warm enough but certainly not in British waters. The only local gym to me that has a very nice warm pool also charges an arm and a leg to join, which after paying I'd have no body parts left to swim with I'd just be floating.
Nevermind tomorrow is another day, after all the sleep I've had today no doubt I'll be up all night lol. But we are off again to a beach near Broadstairs with the metal detector tomorrow looking for more rusty nails and tent pegs, maybe a chest or Roman treasure, that may be me just dreaming again.
Stay happy folks.
