I am really struggling with fatigue and low energy.

Hello everyone, I am new on here. I have had my ileostomy and Barbie butt for over 13 years. I am lucky enough not to have skin issues, etc. However, I can't cope with the inconsistency of my vitamin D levels and iron. I can't tolerate the supplements and have to rely on infusions. They, however, take ages to arrange, then ages for the levels to come up. I have been on the same roundabout about 6 times now, and I can't bear it if I have to live like this for the rest of my life. I have had constant problems since the beginning of Sept. I can't even get out most days. I feel so low. I meditate constantly, which helps, but when it doesn't, I cry. A year ago, I was out with the dog twice a day and volunteering and thought I was on a win-win, but no, back on the merry-go-round. I am normally a bubbly, chatty, positive person, but I really think this has got a hold of me now.

Wow.. I had to up my prednisone, which helped this healing.

A few months ago, I had shingles (they think) on my leg and they gave me Valtrex. Knocked it out in a week.

Can you take or see if these meds would help you heal faster?

I'm sorry yours is being so stubborn. Evict it. 😁
