I’ve been thinking about that because someone close to me has hit that “medical fatigue” wall. There has been no effective treatment for their digestive system illness and they are tired of the prods, pokes, and special exams. They just want to live their life and “cope.” One can understand – especially in a child or teenager. Imagine someone with diabetes. Diet, exercise, monitoring, medication. It can be so tiring. If only the illness – the boogieman or what some call “the beast” could just go away! But it can’t and it doesn’t. And medical treatments may well be imperfect. They probably are. So do you give up? There is no “right a...

It Feels Like Forever It feels like forever since I’ve written in here. It feels like forever since I’ve had Multiple Myeloma. It feels like forever since I could walk without help. It feels like forever since I could go to the bathroom normally and feel I actually accomplished something. It has been forever since I worked. My last day working was 10/4/05…or was it 10/3/05? I don’t even remember. As I start typing this I realize I shouldn’t have started this entry, as I am nearly nodding off. I’m in serious need for a nap. Eve...

Whether your fatigue comes from anemia, hormonal alternations, poor sleep, physical deterioration, anxiety or depression the result is the same: You're exhausted. And, in your weakened state, you're more likely to catch a seasonal cold or flu. Doctors can prescribe iron supplements, sleep aids or anti-anxiety medications -- but don't overlook traditional home remedies. Eating regular, healthy meals and snacks promote healing and energy. If you're up to it, you can also try light exercise like a walk. Aol Health offers 11 home remedies to cure cancer-treatment fatigue and ways to prevent cancer-treatment fatigue.Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments (Source: The Cancer Blog) The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3100753 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 3100753 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2390246&cid=t_146865_135_f&fid=35262&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsurvivinghiv.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fnelson-vergel-going-beyond-survival.html (Source: Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog) Nelson Vergel's HIV Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2390246 Wed, 06 May 2009 19:21:00 +0100 2390246 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2510416&cid=t_146865_87_f&fid=34865&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecancerblog.com%2F2007%2F09%2F12%2Ffatigue-still-around-long-after-cancer-battle-starts%2F Filed under: All CancersIt what seems like an obvious result, a recent U.S. study found that breast cancer survivors who received both chemotherapy and radiotherapy were the most apt to have severe fatigue. In addition, that fatigue lasted for prolonged periods of time.Over 221 women in the early stages of breast cancer were looked at in this study, with the expectation of the greatest amount of fatigue just after initial treatment. But, when chemo was combined with radiotherapy, fatigue was pronounced for longer periods of time. No wonder depression is often a side effect of traditional cancer treatment.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments (Source: The Cancer Blog) The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2510416 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 23:00:00 +0100 2510416 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=629102&cid=t_146865_87_f&fid=34865&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecancerblog.com%2F2007%2F05%2F21%2Fcancer-patients-and-fatigue%2F Filed under: Chemotherapy, All Cancers, Research, RadiationCancer patients will inevitably develop some sort of fatigue while going through chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The problem is that it is difficult for health care professionals to accurately assess its severity. There is a new method being studied to help nurses and physicians provide an instant measurement of a patient's fatigue. The method is called ecological momentary assessment, also known as real-time assessment. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network defines fatigue as "an unusual, persistent, subjective sense of tiredness related to cancer or cancer treatment that interferes with usual functioning". This new method to gauge fatigue in the patient works by using a device that is worn like a wristwatch. It reminds ...
