Man, I am Just Dog Tired These Days...

[DonDavis]

What are you folks doing to combat fatigue?

[GH85Carrera]

Sleeping?

[vash]

i am pretty much still working.

but i agree, something is beating me down.

i fell asleep at 7:30 pm on monday night. woke up at 6:00am. slept straight through. crazy. i woke up, drank a cup of coffee, and BING! i have never been so awake.

I was feeling the same way too until I got a dog and now walk him daily. A bit of regular exercise, even a walk, is a good thing. Cutting back on alcohol also helps, but you didn’t hear it from me.

Dogs are mans best friends, cats are good in butter and garlic.

[asphaltgambler]

Don, how old are you? Have you had any blood work and wellness physical in the last 6 months? Possibly something more going on like a deficiency ………….

[DonDavis]

mmm, butter and garlic.

I think part of it is just getting older and losing some of your stamina.

I will be 66 next month and am feeling it myself, as much as I hate to admit it.

I'm still doing physical work pretty much every day and I try to keep the pedal to the metal as much as possible.

It wears on you after a while.

That's where the sleeping part really comes in handy.....lol.....

Hey, I'll be 78 in a couple of months. Talk about fatigue …….

mutt dog tired?


seriously, it may be time for a physical & some blood tests

[ckissick]

Exercise. Strangely, when I'm tired but then get on the elliptical trainer for 48 minutes, I am energized afterwards.

My SIL had what everyone thought was narcolepsy, and could fall asleep anywhere/anytime, and usually would. It turned out his MD never checked his thyroid. He is now on a low dose, and has no more problems.

Trust me...I understand. The youngsters here haven't a clue.

[flatbutt]

Me too so I thought I might be coming down with something...apparently it's just old age.

[DonDavis]

Meh, I’ll just let sleeping dogs lie.

Turning 74 in August, slowing down a bit. This 951 Turbo is beating me up. Had to pull transaxle last week, took about 6 Bayer back&body and felt reasonably well after that adventure. Putting in another transaxle next week. Not looking forward to doing that. On my back in a creeper. Ugh, getting too old for this crap. Wife just shakes her head...

[Evans, Marv]

^^^^^ I can relate. I spent all day yesterday maneuvering a DR brush cutter around a big part of my place to get the grasses down enough to weed whack them. Now today I get of do the weed whacking. A couple of acetaminophens helped out last night though.

Ive been feeling tired the last two weeks or so. Almost like I have a touch of the flu but temp is 98.6F.

Eyes are a little puffy and grass is now being cut around here and plants are coming alive. I'm thinking a touch of allergies.
