Fatigue

Hey Stu,

Have you listened to the fatigue after stroke podcast?  Brenda has talked about her fatigue.

Also, there is a really good conversation about cognitive fatigue here.

Shelagh has shared better fatigue management. 

Also, Shanan has commented in this thread about her fatigue (go to the last page in the thread), there are heaps of comments. I am sure you will get many here as well. 

Fatigue , it can be lost of strength or it can be sleeping in the afternoon or even in the morning . It can also be short or long term memory , 

Hi Stuw, People experience fatigue in different ways. For me My brain slows down and my comprehension of speech and situations gets worse. I yawn alot  and loose co-ordination of my body. I have to move away from bright lights, busy places ,noise and need to sleep some times twice a day. 

Day time sleep only recharges my brain and energy by about 20 percent. So I can only do one  big or important thing a day. Planning is important.  I make adjustments to life style. Ffriends and family know my limitations now and accept it. You need to be honest with yourself and accept the new you and then others will also.   Be kind to yourself.  Accept help when offerred. Best Wishes.

Thanks for the feedback so far! much appreciated.

Planning! Yes!
