Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group EXTREMELY sleepy after eating

Dotyisle,

1. Intense fatigue sets in after any kind of meal. Although it feels as if it's worst at lunchtime.

2. Lunch does not differ much from morning or evening. I usually eat a load of greens and non-starchy vegetables with a hearty serving of meat on the side.

3. This has not worsened with going low starch. I also have not noticed any particular improvement, then again I have only been fully on the diet for two weeks.

4. A blood test showed that I have a slight allergy to egg whites, so I do try to avoid eating eggs. Other allergies I am not aware of.

5. I have nocturnal awakenings. Not only when there is back pain, but also when the pain is under control. Just wake up, usually go to the bathroom and then get back to sleep. Other than that, I sleep fine and am able to sleep long. Sleep study showed healthy sleep cycles. Even a long prior night's sleep does not seem to improve the fatigue.
