Reply to "How Much Water Consumption?"

I have had the same problem as you when I wake since I had my colon removed.  And being really exhausted easily as the day rolled by. 

I finally had my blood tested for everything about a month ago.  I mean every morning I was waking and feeling like I had been run over by a truck. 

Well come to find out my iron levels were low.  I have always  had high iron levels.  So it was a surprise to me.  Having it removed has something to do with iron absorption.  Read up on it and you may want to be tested. 

It has made a big difference in my energy levels and how I feel when I wake.  I don't feel so bad.  I am not dead tired after an eight hour shift.  I didn't realize how important iron is until I read up on it after I found out I had to take an iron supplement.  But even after three weeks of taking an iron supplement I can feel a noticeable difference.  

I am just happy it was something  simple.  I wouldn't want to live the rest of my life being chronically fatigued. 

Richard.
