Hi @Doingmybest
How are you doing today?
I am sorry to hear about your fatigue. Make sure you bring it up with your doctor, they may need to do other tests. Let me tag a few other members who can tell you what they have experienced.

Do you have fatigue? Does it get better? Is there anything you take or do to make it better? What do you do to cope?
Take care,

I feel the same way! And right now my husband is recovering from bypass heart surgery. He has been home one week today. My kids all live out of state, but they are taking turns coming to stay for a few days to help us. I don’t know if it’s normal to have that fatigue, but I feel the same as you. I also have fibromyalgia, so some of my fatigue comes from that, I’m sure. Would love to hear some more comments.

I easily become extremely tired. I had to sit down after walking across the grass because I feel as though I've just finished a marathon. Every two or three times I raise my arm to brush my hair, I have to take a break. My arm feels like it's been working out with weights! Simply said, it is absurd.
The weakness and exhaustion with very little effort have persisted for virtually the entire time since before I was diagnosed. I'm exhausted for the rest of the day if I have to carry a bag of groceries. I seem to be moving around just out of willpower most of the time. (I still maintain my home and care for the yard, but it feels like this disease is killing me. I was wondering if someone is going through something similar...
