30 March 2010 - Tired so far this week

I seem to have run out of energy.  I don't know if it's from the prednisone or the percocet I took last week, but I'm drained.  Yesterday I think I even dozed off at my desk for a few minutes.  At least 95% of the gout pain I was experiencing last week is gone.  My elbow is still a bit sore but much, much better.  There are a few twinges in my right big toe but I don't think it's anything to worry about.  The weariness can probably also be attributed to just overworking myself.  I may be trying to do too much at once.  My regular job is keeping me very busy and I've piled a few things on top of that also that don't give me much time to relax.  I'm not necessarily stressed, but just worn down.  This also could have something to do with my last attack I suppose.  I think the only thing that is truly stressing me is the fact that I'm still unable to workout and try to get back in shape.  I have too many little nagging injuries hanging around and really don't want to aggrevate those.  If I've learned anything over the past couple of months it's that I shouldn't rush back in to exercise.  Each time I've done it, I've ended up aggrevating whatever it was that was hurting me even worse.  This always leads to prolonged time off from most activity.  I'll see how I feel at the end of this week and then maybe I can slowly get back in to things and keep on going for once, finally establishing a workout routine.  That's the goal at least.
