Anyone feel this way

[ladybug]

Hi,

So, I've been noticing lately (the past few months) in the morning when my alarm first goes off and I'm contemplating getting out of bed, I feel kinda crummy. Not coughing or lung crummy.... not short of breath crummy. Its more like a weak feeling and like I could stay in bed all day. Kinda like my glucose is low, but I know its not terribly low in the mornings (the lowest is around 87). So, why do I feel this way. When I'm up and out of bed, I feel good and refreshed and start coughing with my treatments and carry on as normal, but its just that initial period in bed when I'm laying there and my limbs and everything just feel "weak". Like I could lay still for hours.

Anyway, anyone else feel this way? Its not just cause I'm tired cause it happens every morning whether I've slept 7 hours or 10. And, I'm not depressed or anything, so its not not WANTING to get out of bed. I want to, I just feel kinda "glued" to the bed. Hmmm....

Thanks for any responses or experiences you have with this!

I was like that for a while about 4 months ago. Would wake up....and just lie there, thinking, daydreaming, not wanting to get up. However, it got worse and worse, to the point where i was sleeping 15 hours a day, and still not wanting to get out of bed. It was a vicious cycle. I finally had to see somebody and adress my issues. They put me on Effexor and now I sleep a normal 8 hours a day, and everything is good again. I didn't really feel depressed per say, but i couldn't get out of bed, and no matter how much i slept, i was tired.

I'm not saying your depressed, just don't let it becone a habit. You could be going into that routine without even knowing it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

hey sonia,

i think i know what you're talking about and if so i am the same way. for me, i always thought it was genetic because my mother is a very heavy sleeper and will stay in bed and not get up in the mornings. if i could, i would spend so much time in bed, but i've worked really hard to get myself out of that tendancy because, like kiel said, it seems to lead to an insatiable cycle.

good luck!

I know exactly what you are talking about.  It seems that I
experience that too.  I think it goes along the lines of
getting up out of bed involves moving around and that involves
coughing and then that involves alot of work.  It's not like
we can just get up and drink cough, read the paper, and move
with the day.   Getting up for the day involves feeling
discomfort as opposed to laying in bed< feeling good>
 Sometimes making the first move out of bed takes a little
push on your own< which I am sure you know.  I've gone
through my own periods where I've enjoyed laying around more than
others when things in life are tough.  I have also beat myself
up for the very same thing, telling myself that I am lazy, until I
say hey, you got CF, you could give yourself a break.  Yes, I
talk to the inner me.  I am just saying that it happens
to me too.

Are you exercising regularly? If not, exercise will increase your oxygen in your blood and make you feel alive in the morning. Also it could be what you are eating. Try eating more protein and less on the carbs toward the evening hours. This could help you. Not sure but it is worth a try.
good wishes

Hmmm... Let me clarify and answer some questions. Thanks for the great responses so far! I appreciate the experiences.

Ender:
I'm actually 110% sure its not depression or lack of wanting to get up and out of bed. I've been depressed before and was on meds for 15 years for depression and anxiety and this feels VERY different. I appreciate you sharing your story and agree that something like that NEEDS to be addressed and worked out.

Risa:
I actually work out almost every day. I also notice when I eat high protein foods at night and less carbs I feel much worse the next morning and need sugar like right away. Its almost like I don't have enough carbs to carry me through the night or something. Its really strange.

To clarify:
Its a PHYSICAL thing. My body physically feels weak. My limbs feel weak and heavy. I'm not dreading getting out of bed or feeling bad about waking or getting up. When I get up, I feel great and have lots of energy. Its just the initial waking period where I physically feel drained. Almost like low blood sugar when its so low you can barely move or think straight (but I check it and its not... and, as soon as I'm standing up, I feel better, which clearly is not low blood sugar). I don't know. Maybe I'm not explaining it right. Its just a physical feeling deep in my body and not tied to anything I'm thinking. I actually sometimes wake up with something exciting I get to do during the day and am really pumped to do it, I just physically feel strained. Who knows. Very bizarre.

Sonia,
I know precisely what you are talking about. When i first wake up, i feel like i need to "sit and relax", lol. It sounds kind of crazy, but i wake up more tired than when i went to sleep the night before. Once i get my rearend up and moving i am fine, but at i need to "sit and relax" first before i start doing anything. I know what you are talking about and have not found anything to get rid of if, except if i am doing something really exciting that day and cant wait to do it, then i can usually get motivated faster. But the next day, its right back to the same ol routine.
