Body Tired

Today, my body is tired. It wasn't that bad in the morning and afternoon. But, by evening, my body just feels so tired. Not a tired that will go away with sleep-but overall feeling of weakness. The muscles in my legs feel like lead, weighing me down. At least that is all it is today. Some days, my whole body feels like it is being weighted down. Today, just the legs.

Last summer, I went through lots of testing because I had such pain/weakness in my arms and legs. The specialists were so worried about my immune system-that every blood test imaginable was done. In November-yes months later-I wasn't feeling any better so, my regular doctor decided to do a test to check on a vitamin D deficiency-and lo and behold, it was low. So, I take Vitamin D regularly to help with that. It helped with the pain/weakness in my arms & legs.

However, I still do have a general fatigue/weakness/pain in my legs (sometimes arms too) that affects me from time to time. I assume it is part of the neutropenia and I try to get through the day with it.

Good night.
