Again, I'm new to this whole thing so I know I'm super sensitive to any changes. Since I've left the hospital I have been completely exhausted. I mentioned this to my Dr, who happens to also have had a blood clot at my age, and she said it was due to emotions. I'm a month into this and I am still as exhausted as ever (if not more). I was given some anxiety medicine that does absolutely nothing (maybe b/c its a really low dose). However I'm dragging at work, and with that my mind isn't as sharp as normal. The hour drive home would put me to sleep if not for the freezing ac and the radio volume up. Typing this my arms are tired, my fingers are tired...I'm just tired. lol.

Is this normal?

I promise I'll stop posting these soon.
