Feeling low and tired today!

Hey guys - hope you are all ok.

Since last night, not been feeling to great (PM inserted 24 July 08).

I feel slightly light-headed and very tired, and heavy limbs (almost like flu-like symptoms) also the feeling you get when you havent eated - and you need sugar badly!!! ..... aware of pulse rate - (Gerry my PM chugging along around 80). I am seeing pacing tech guy tomorrow -(not sure what he can do?) but wondered if I could please get some advice from you lovely people including my Pacer Chick Pals.

Can they reset Gerry so I can have a lie in on a weekend?!!! it seems I wake up around 6am and cant go back to sleep even though I want to!!!!!!!!!! I know that sounds crazy!!!!

Thank you everyone and chat soon!

Love and hugs, Loopy Lou xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,
I have been talking about this problem forever! The problem of being so darn tired! Heavy feeling in my legs that sort of thing... My dr. stumbled upon the fact that the generic medications might be the problem and guess what the real stuff is working better for me! Yoo Hooo! I feel almost normal again. I hope this energy stays with me, I hate that tired butt feeling I can get!

p.s. I must get off line and back to work now... love to all Susie

Hi Loppy Lou,

The symptoms you describe are like the side effects some of us get from some medications. What meds are you taking and were any of them prescribed about the time you got your PM?

As for resetting your PM, her is what I can recall about the se tings on mine. Over a period of 8 years, my first low setting was 80, then 70, then 50, then to 60, then 30, then 40, then 45, then 60 and right now it is 70. So, if yours is anything like mine the settings can be changed over a wide range.

Good luck,

Smitty

Thinking about you! I hope you're doing better today.

Cabg Patch,
Come on down, I would be happy to host a pm party here in sunny Florida! The more, the merrier!!! Wait til the weather cools off a bit more up north first, though. We'll be out of hurricane season and having fantastic weather in another month.
