Has anyone experienced fatigue so bad that even speaking is a chore? I feel like I am slurring my words and need a nap after I have a conversation with someone. Anyone out there or am I alone on this one...???
Thanks.
Ed

Nope, you are NOT alone.
In fact, you have a crowd of company, got the chips and dip ready?

It's like that for me sometimes, most of today in fact. Just downed caffeine cuz I couldn't bear it a second more.

It's so intense at times that speaking IS an impossibility...

I had fatigue so severe at one time that it was too much effort to watch TV. It was all I could do to lie there and listen to it. Really. Haven't been that way in a while, but it is utterly miserable. Couldn't even get up to take a shower without help.

I've been like that lately. I'll be kinda ok during the day but once 4 or 5 oclock hits...I can't move or speak or think for thst matter. As I'm typing I need to go lay down.

4th week of Rocephin think this is the Faitgue herx time....so I understand what you mean.

Take Care

Ed,

It is a little scary isn't it? I had it the worse before I was diagnosed and didn't know what was going on.

I prefer to communicate via the keyboard now because I never know how I am going to be when I need to speak.

Hopefully, this will be a thing in the past soon for you.

Been there - done that!


I can totally relate!


Even the simplest of tasks seem to be tough to manage. Keep up with treatment - kill those keets off! And I promise you that things will improve.....they have for me, and I am sure they will for you too.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Take care!

Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear it, but I'm relieved, too. I was prepared for the mean streak I went on with the mepron/zith, but not for how tired I'd be. It's horrible, worse than any other treatment I've been on.
Glad to know it's just part of the mepron trip.

Pass the chip and dip - I'm joining the party too. Oh yes, this happens to me too!

My son has a major amount of fatigue but has this problem in reverse - he can't understand what is being said to him! He will sit there and stare at you, then this look comes into his eyes like "Oh,sh#%! I don't know what they just said". It drives him nuts. Fortunately I know 'the look' and can jump in if I'm around.....but he says it makes school ten times harder (and him 10 times more fatigued) because he is concentrating so hard to try to understand.

Lyme sucks......
