Lack of Energy

[mattie7632 24]

Wow, I have been so tired for the past several weeks. The first few months I was feeling great, more energy, etc. Now, this month I just feel run down and tired, tired, tired, all the time. This is starting month 5. My diet is the best it's ever been so I really don't think it's because I'm not getting enough of something, but I don't know. Anyone else experience this at some point in their journey?

Early on I did. My Iron was low. I noticed my Vitamin did not have iron in it so I changed to a multi vitamin/mineral. It seemed to help me a lot.

I'm going through it right now. I'm only 2.5 weeks post op. Someone said it could be from dehydration. I think it is because I haven't been able to have my Vitamin. I tried the chewable vitamin, but I ruined it for myself. During the first week I had to crush my regular medicine. The chewable vitamin tasted ok, so I thought I would combine them. Bad choice. It was awful! I was sick to my stomach for 12 hours after that. Now I can't stand the taste of the Vitamins. I'm hoping I can swallow regular vitamins soon.

give your doctor a call, he/she may want to do some blood work to determine if you need additional supplements, i.e. Iron, B12, increased Protein, etc... Hope all goes well

How's your sleep quality? I had chronic tiredness a few years ago, until I had a sleep study done. They discovered I don't have sleep apnea, but I do have restless leg syndrome. I wasn't getting rest because I kept moving around in my sleep.

Interesting that you bring this up.....I definitely think my sleep quality could have something to do with this. Although I'm guessing kids and dogs are more responsible than anything health related!!!!

Hi mattie--get your Vitamin D level checked to see if you are possibly Vitamin D deficient--that will make you extremely tired/fatigued as well.
