Today was my last 'school day' the rest of the days (until next Friday) will either be days off or other school activities. And today we basically did nothing in all of my lessons, the only reason i had to go was for attendance, otherwise we just sat there and sort of had it boring!
But as we didnt do anything i got a break in the morning - a little gym break :) And also got to finish earlier than usual!! ^_^ So it was actually a good day :)
And after speaking with my mum i think why im feeling so tired is 1) the stress ive had the past few weeks but also malabsorbption.. As i have CF my body has it hard to absorb fats and protein, and doesnt always take up the nutrients and energy. So i have to medicine for that... though recently i think the food has just been going right through me... which could explain why ive been feeling so hungry all the time. Like a bottomless pit, and ive eaten loads, but yet havent had more energy and i dont think ive gained weight either, which you would think i would do from all the food.
But i have a doctors appointment in 2 weeks where tests will be taken, and then we'll see whether i need to change or increase my medication. So that might help.... it could be that, or like an anonymous said it could be over training. But ive had overtraining before, and i know the symptoms and how it feels. And it doesnt feel the same way. Because when i was over training i lost all motivation to exercise, i felt tired but couldnt sleep, i felt depressed, i was bloating and feeling 'fat'... but now its more like a mental tiredness, because physically i have lots of energy. And i feel 110% motivation to go to the gym, so i dont force myself there. And i dont feel depressed or have fat feelings.
So i think it could just be a mix of things....
Today when i came home i felt really hungry - even after eating lunch only 2 hours ago. But i made myself a bowl of quark & yoghurt & lots of salted nuts and seeds.
And an hour later i got hungry again and had the weirdest craving for this:
Tuna, mackerel, cottage cheese and sweet corn.... Very weird snack. But that was apparently what my body wanted.
Hahahah... i guess thats how it is somedays.
Hey Izzy! I hope you feel better soon! It's strange how the body works sometimes... I wish it were easier to find out why we feel certain ways and the best ways to fix it. It does seem like a malabsorbption issue seeing as you have these cravings... Best of luck, take care! :)
ReplyDeleteHow is the final exams system in Sweden? what are the required exams and is there exams you can choose by yourself?
ReplyDeleteUr arms have gotten so muscular!!!:-)
ReplyDeleteHahah, thank you :)
DeleteJust wondering, you said your friends didn't know about your cf but you posted photos of all the pills you take with food. Do you friends not notice or just not ask? Maybe people in Sweden are much less nosy than people in Canada . . . Anyway, hope you feel back to your energetic self soon.
ReplyDeleteThe pills i take with my food ive always taken by locker, and as i always carry a water bottle around with me i guess they dont really notice anything. They have never really asked though, as a few of my friends take pilslf or other things like allergies etc
ReplyDeleteIf they were to ask, i would tell... buyt im not someone to just start blurting out my problems. Hahah
