How do you snap out of lethargy?


I know what lethargy is, and I'm very prone to it. Are there any suggestions or tips anyone might have to help me stimulate some neurons so that I don't fall behind on things? I'd like some input with a dietary perspective, mental perspective, and whatever kind of perspective anyone has. Thanks!
----------

Write down the time and place you feel lethargic. After a week or two of notes, you can narrow down the possible trigger.  (+ info)

What can I do to counteract lethargy caused by medication?


I just started back on Celexa two weeks ago, after dropping it when becoming manic about a month and a half before (all in accordance with my psychiatrists.) I'm now out of the trench in regards to the depression, but am experiencing this sort of residual tiredness AND increased reactivity (i.e. temper.) What can I do to counteract the lethargy? I am also on lithium.
I am 17 yo and bipolar.

How about a nice ride on your horse in the warm spring air. That would get anyone going. : }  (+ info)

How to get rid of tummy fat acquired through junk food and lethargy, with simple home exercises?


i am 5'6" weight 60-65 kgs, 19 years old,

although i primarily have a slim build, i have got tummy fat because of junk food and lethargy, not doing much physical activity

which simple home exercises can be done and how frequently to get rid of this (i have acquired it over like a year or so)
----------

although people will tell you that you can do specific exercises to lose belly fat or leg fat etc it is not possible you can obviously target the area of muscle you want to work on but to lose excess fat i would recommend taking up a sport which you can do several times a week but if you don't like sport just try getting a 30 min walk in every morning or afternoon  (+ info)

Does tiredness and lethargy follow a sustained period of moderate drinking?


Just got back from holiday and have been drinking between 8 and 10 units per night. Haven't drunk all week since but have been feeling really tired - is there a connection?
----------

Yep, it does have a connection with the booze. Give a few weeks and let your body (and liver) recover.

In the future it may be best to not drink that much despite it being a holiday as alchohol can make people do the stupidest of things (I've been there, done it)  (+ info)

Three drooling cats with mouth sores, difficulty eating and periods of lethargy. What's wrong?


5 cats in household ages 11 years to 7 months old. Two have mouth sores(brother and sister), three are drooling and are having difficulty eating. One was in liver failure 7 months ago and had lost weight to 4lbs. and came out of it. I am planning on taking to vet tomorrow but would like some idea of what could be wrong.
----------

There are many serious conditions that manifest with mouth ulcers including feline leukemia, feline aids, rhinotracheaitis, and auto-immune disorders. Some of these conditions can be treated fairly easily with antibiotics and/or steroids but only your vet is going to be able to determine what medical path is best for your pets.   (+ info)

3 days ago I woke up to find my healthy 4 month old kitten very lethargy, and running a high fever?


I took her to the vet. The vet tested her for leukemia and feline HIV, test were negative.The vet put her on antibiotic's.Two days I had to take her back to the vet, because her fever was still up. The vet gave her fluids and more antibiotic's, and took blood work. Can anyone give my some advice. She has been sick for 4 days now.
----------

It is hard to say what it could be. Just keep an eye on her, and have her finish the antibiotics. If it is not what they think it is, they will probably have to do some more blood tests and some diagnostic imaging tests to figure out why it is acting like this.  (+ info)

1. review his pt controlled analgesia (PCA) record for dose history

3. check pupils for direct consensual reaction
4. obtain pulse oximeter to check oxygen saturation level


tnx... if it is okay, kindy put the rationale behind..and also the source tnx a lot!
----------

Basics first

Check postural BP - possible blood loss related to surgery
Hb & Iron studies same
Nutrition Eating? Needs Supplements? Constipated?
Wounds S&S of infection? Temp?
Emotional Depressed?

Don't forget to look at your patient holistically. Something I got taught as a student, it applies to everything, and gives you a prioritised order for checking anything

A Airway
P (pig) Pain
H (headed) Hydration
N (nurse) Nutrition
W (wont) Wounds
A (always) Ailimentary
S (suceed) Social
F (fair) Family
G (go) God

Tutors are always looking for holistic care when marking assignments.
Address each category and you will cover the lot. It's not all about the medical stuff.  (+ info)

Symbyax, prescriptions to help take away the lethargy and the drowsiness associated?


any body feel free to chime in on bi-polar, manic-depressive, depression, suicidal thoughts! Hell, you know all that fun stuff you go through when the "doctors" are (trying) to diagnose why you are an able to focus on pleasant thoughts, block out those negative thoughts, hell just for a couple of hours a a day every other day or two just to have something, like hope, happiness, just a damn day without fear.
----------

Omg, Symyax laid my azz out. I was like a zombie in another world. That wasn't for me.

Once you find the right sript for you, your life will change dramatically. Hang in there, it's so frustrating trying different shit and differnt Dr.s  (+ info)
