Reply to "What gives you energy jpouchers?"

I had uc and have now had a jpouch for about 20 yrs. I deal constantly with fatigue and overall bone/muscle/joint pain.....oh yeah, and mental fatigue and memory loss. Not bad enough for me to take meds other than occasional ibuprophen, vitamins and probiotics, but it definitely affects my daily activities. I've found that staying hydrated helps more than anything.  Exercise is a hit or miss because I can't lift or pull anything over15 lbs due to hernia related issues, but when ramped up slowly, I've found that stamina building activities like bike riding goes a long way towards making me feel better and more energetic.
