Why Do I Have Low Energy?
I take Brukinsa and my white blood cell count is normal. All my blood test indicates normal. I take vitamins and supplements. I have not eve had the flu in over two years. I know I am not anemic nor lack muscle mass? I had assumed that the production of excess white blood cells could be a big energy requirement? I have been eating three healthy balanced meals which if not enough calories then I do lose body mass.
I'm not a Dr!! Just been dealing with tons of different crap over the last 37yrs in Oct since I was the 1st autologous BMT in history at HUP!! Right now I got covid 6th time at the Sphere in Vegas!! It's a lifetime brawl!!! It's sounds to me your red blood cell count should be checked? Your not getting enough oxygen for sum reason your Dr can check that!! It's sounds like your doing everything right!!!! They'll correct the reason!!! You'll feel better keep pushing forward!!!! Trust in GOD keep putting the work in!!! Big life !!! Go for it!!! Make it happen!!! I was 25 when I got sick I'll be 64 in 5mnths!!!! Miracles happen is my point!!! So Always Keep Punchin!!!!
Hi Robert. How are your MCV and MCH values on your blood work? Has your doctor checked your B12, folate, potassium, Vit D, electrolyte, folic acid levels by any chance? Sometimes those things can cause additional fatigue if you are deficient. Do you hydrate enough throughout the day? When I first moved here to NH from GA, I had to increase my intake of fluids due to altitude change. May sound off the wall, but my oncologist confirmed that after I had done my own research and asked the question. Our bodies are ever changing with what we have, so maybe and hopefully, in your case, you are deficient in something.
In the past I was a jogger so my lung capacity exceeds 4 liters or 2 gallons which is the maximum the lung capacity machine can register. Never smoked or had lung problems? My blood is not anemic with last blood test 7/10. I have noticed that after being active for 30 minutes my breathing does change to a more labored breathing but when I relax my breathing returns to normal. Last year I was on the tread mill walking 3 MPH and after 20 minutes my breathing rate increased but after relaxing my breathing quickly returned to normal. My current medication has returned my WBC count to normal. Thanks for the good advice and you are an amazing team member!! You are a credit to this team environment.
July I had a blood test and I thought it was strange only one sample was taken? I discovered from the one sample only the white blood cell count and red blood cell count were done? I was normal with red and white blood cells. I am not anemic but I do catch myself breathing more after 15 minutes of work outside. I will ask about the other sample numbers you mentioned. I am curious if I am low with other vitamins? I think the vitamin B and B complex help because I seem to be ready to go each morning. I wonder if low energy could be a thyroid affect?
Low energy in the context of leukemia can be due to several factors:
- Anemia: Low red blood cell counts can lead to fatigue and weakness. Treatments for leukemia can destroy red blood cells, or the body may not produce enough of them
- Pain: Chronic pain can prevent quality sleep, reduce appetite, and decrease activity Show Full Answer
Why Do We Have Low Energy. I Do NOT Think It Is From Anemia Since I Do NOT Have Anemia.
