Anyone else very tired all the time?

B12 is very important. As some types of anemia won't show up when iron is checked, but will when B12 is. This is known as pernicious anemia. In some people it's simply because they're body is not metabolizing it properly, others a nutrition problem. It can be that way with minerals to - blood serum levels look good, but the body can't use it. So sometimes one may have to dig a little deeper.
When one has active inflammation they can become anemic, as well.

I echo what has already been said - if you sleep a lot and are still tired, get tested for sleep apnea.


Water won't help fatigue. I'm not sure where this was heard. I can drink over 2 liters a day and still be tired (I'm on a high fluid and salt regimen.)

Other things to consider. Adrenals and thyroid - several different hormone levels can be off and make a person very tired.

I'm tired alot too, but I think it has to do with feeling guilty about not making the money I was making at my former job, so I work all the hours I can, which in turn exhausts me, so I have no energy to do anything but work and sleep, It's a vicious cycle.
I found out today that my hubby thinks I work to much sometimes and has never said a word to me... Jeepers, thanks honey!!!

I know it can be thyroid because it runs in my family. That was checked over a year ago. This is what my Iron was when I found out I had Anemia.

I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and I can nap for hours, get up, then go back to bed and sleep a full 8. For me, that's not normal. :/

I'm in the process of the Dr. adjusting my meds based on the typical blood test, but I also have an appt with a holistic family Dr. He specializes in treating the thyroid naturally (or with natural medications) as well as being serious about weight loss. I'm excited to get his opinion on things.

I've been very tired a lot lately. It seems like if I go to bed by 10pm and get up at 5:30am, I still need a few hours sleep. Then I work all day, and am ready to pass out by the time I walk in the door around 6-7pm.

I had my thyroid tested in February, and they actually never called back about it. They said they thought some level was slightly high, but couldnt imagine it really affecting me. After the full thyroid panel, no one ever called back (unless of course, I didn't get the message because they called the house phone, and I usually dont hear about the messages from the MIL before they get deleted).

^ Call and tell them to send you the results. You have a right to copies of everything. If your thyroid levels are off it can have serious consequences.

I stay that way I'm always tired, even though I exercise regurally and watch what I eat very closely.

I recently had a bunch of thyroid tests done and am currently getting my heart checked out for some things though so hopefully when I got back to the doctor they will have some answers for me.

i hope all of you tired folks get better soon too

I will be gettin another Thyroid test soon.

^ Make sure you have free T3, free T4, and antibodies tested for. In some people TSH can look perfectly normal when their thyroid is not functioning properly.


Also, for those who have it. Tachycardia, all on it's own, can cause fatigue. I'll be getting another holter monitor the 24th. If it's getting up high enough who knows what the doctor will decide to do.

I have Fibro also, so I have trouble getting into a deep enough sleep to help my body recharge I guess I would call it. The pain meds also make me tired all the time. Most days I take a nap in the afternoon with Cozmo curled up next to me.

I have clincal depression too, so that don't help thing either.

I am pretty sure i have Thyroid problems but they didnt show on the tsh test.
I can never sleep either from the fibro.
I belong to a Fibro group if anyone wants to join it.

I was always tired also! I was diagnosed with Lupus not too long ago. It is a terrible feeling to want nothing more than to sleep all day every day

I hope they figure out what it is that is causing you to be so tired!!!!

Thank You,
i ahte feeling this way.

Im really tired right now. I reallyw ish I could go home I have another hour and 45 mun till I get off. So sad.

I have Fibromyalgia...so I have issues with fatigue, insomnia (which makes me even more tired during the day...go figure!) muscle soreness, etc...it's a downright drag sometimes...literally! I'm also borderline diabetic, so if I'm not careful with what I eat, I can wind up being really tired, and get nasty headaches, and shaking... But I just try to do what I need to do during a day, and if I need to take a nap, I do...somedays are just worse than others! Especially when you add in that I get Migraines as well, sometimes on a daily basis...
