You should consider a basic blood test, just tell your doctor you feel tired a lot. You could be low in something. There are some days I feel like I can't stay awake, I do because I have various pets and other stuff to take care of. However it makes watching tv nearly impossible, I'll doze off.
Yeah, this is the reason I dislike my doctor. I've complained many, many times about being so tired, and all he tells me is that I should exercise more. Now I'll fully admit that exercise is not something I do nearly often enough, but somehow I doubt that'll suddenly make me less exhausted.Originally Posted by strange_wings

Perhaps it's time for me to find someone else!
Oh my God---how can you function with only 3 hours sleep??? I've had problems with insomnia for many years--perhaps it's not true insomina--but I often, usually 1-2 nights a week, have trouble sleeping. I seldom ever feel well-rested anymore.
I just got out of the ER this morning because my iron count fell to 6.8 when it should be a 12 they said. My feet, ankles, and part of my legs swelled up big last night for some reason and I started feeling bad and my legs were aching very bad so I decided to go in. The doctor wanted to admit me and do a blood transfusion but I didnt... I was already in there for over 4hrs and they took 6 blood tests and more and I was ready to go.Originally Posted by strange_wings

Sounds like it would be a good idea for you to go to the doctor for some blood tests to check your potassium,iron,thyroid, and maybe your blood count as well - it can be done with one simple blood test and hopefully you can figure out what's making you soo sleepyOriginally Posted by strange_wings
He was going to prescribe it and have me in the next week for another blood test, guess he forgot. I do start psychical therapy next week so it probably would help my energy level.. and the dizziness.
eww bananas
I already have to eat before taking my anti-inflammatory, I can't lay down after I take them either.
Maybe I missed something, what where you in the hospital for? I hope you're feeling better now.
I call that a sleep hangover.I'm sure someone on here knows why too much sleep makes you feel sick.
Maybe so- also- if you have any type of GI problem (IBS, gastroparesis, other things like that which cause you to use the ladies room a lot- you can loose a lot of potassium that way- so it might be something to talk to your doctor about if you do.)
