Unfortunately, no. I've seen an increase in exhaustion since my surgical labyrinthectomy, but then I had the procedure because I developed drop attacks that never went away. I've had some mitigating circumstances, however, and my poor immune system is shot. I hope that after I get some health issues resolved I WILL improve...Thanks for asking
That encapsulates it so well, and profoundly. It sounds like the end of a sad poem. I bought a light & portable massage table. So I can move it to wherever in the house I'll mostly be that day, and just walk over to it and lay down. I highly recommend it. If anyone wants the Amazon link just say so. Since my VNS surgery my fatigue has been getting slightly better every day. Still, it's very pronounced. Partly due to the VNS itself and partly due to Meniere's. When I "fully" recover I'm going to exercise a lot. Since conventional knowledge says it boosts energy and well-being. I know it's going to be hard, because the last thing you want to do when fatigued is exercise. As to your question...I would have quit my office job because of the fatigue. My job involved lots of air and highway travel. So the hassle of airports alone would have made me say screw it. Honestly, even if I just had to stay in my office, I think the fatigue would have made me quit. I had to do a lot of thinking and writing though. If I'd had a mentally undemanding job I may could hang on to a company job. Thankfully I'm self employed now and work from home. God bless those who have to perform for a company while having Meniere's. I cannot imagine.
Really good post. And I do agree with the highlighted section. If rest was that beneficial, then you wouldn't feel as bad upon getting back up, as you did upon laying down. But often you do.
