Q: How can I lessen the fatigue associated with Crohn’s disease?

Ever since being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I often feel very tired and fatigued. Is there anything I can do to increase my energy level?

I have always struggled with amemia since being diagnosed with crohns (6yrs ago). I am not a doctor, so I cannot say for sure thats what you have, but it sounds like it. I get really super tired from small thinks like having a shower etc. I think i bleed from the bowel a lot, so that causes the iron deficiency. Maybe you should speak to your GP or specialist about getting a blood test for iron. It makes a mssive difference. Reply to this post | Report
