Is anybody else tired a lot?

Is anybody else tired a lot?

I don't know what's going on with me, but I'm tired ALL the time. It's gotten worse in the past couple of weeks but I've been fighting off a little cold so that could be the reason.
But I go to bed every night at 10pm and am OUT COLD. When I wake up for work I'm still tired. I feel sleepy all day and when I come home from work I desperately want to take a nap but I drag myself to the gym.
I eat healthy, and just had a series of blood tests done by my doctor but everything is normal.

Does anybody have any idea what this sounds like? It's driving me crazy!!!!

I have felt the SAME way. I don't know whats going on...I am tempted to get tested for mono...i literally drag myself out of bed and then fight to stay awake at 9 at night. I usually have a ton of energy but not lately :( It may be the stress of this time of the year, and wedding planning and all else..I don't know. I hope you feel better. :)

could it b lack of iron? anemia??

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I have been like this for the past few weeks also. I feel like everything is an effort.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

Every year I feel like this (usually around this time of year), every year I have my blood tested for mono, etc. I think I am just a sleepy person, and have a bit of seasonal affective disorder. I think it really is the lack of sun (but I am a pretty sleepy person in the summer too). Chocolate and soda helps me short term to stay awake, but I have yet to find a solution.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I been tired alot myself. but i have a thyroid problem. sometimes when you change your diet it can do that to you also. are you getting enough sleep at night? i go to bed at 10 at night but sometimes i still feel tired in the morning i think its also because i get up in the middle of the night. can you be anemic? go to the doctor and find out. I hope you feel better.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

Hmm.. I was also thinking that you were slightly anemic, since I am borderline myself and have to increase my iron, esp. certain times of month. But since you've been checked out by your doctor , they probably ruled that out.

It could very well be a mild food allergy or sensitivity.

I have been extremely tired myself lately, and I notice that for me its seasonal - i always get this way during the winter.

I hope you can pinpoint what is causing it soon - feeling tired all the time is TIRING (pardon the pun )

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I have been having this problem for the past year. I went from always be wide awake to always wanting to sleep. I have no energy for anything. I had blood test done and i am normal, so they say lol. From other symptoms i described they said i have IBS which makes you fatigued, and IBS is from stress, at least thats what they told me. ANyway they gave me pills for this and what do you know the side affect is drowsiness I didnt even bother taking the pills. I am waiting to see a specialist

Sleep apnea?

If you are waking up int he middle of the night, you won't feel rested in the morning.

I don't know how you determine if you have it.

I am always tired too, but think that has to do with being overweight--it has gotten worse lately, but tht is probably because I have gotten heavier

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I think I may just call a nutritionist. I need to get to the bottom of this! I'm soooo sleepy right now

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I'm the same way! ALWAYS tired and i sleep really good. I haven't gone to the doctor yet.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I'm exhausted almost every day, but I'm preggo, so I have a good reason.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

i feel this way a lot also. it comes and goes. some months i'm so so tired and others i'm fine. but i'd never say i'm energetic. as someone else mentioned it could be a sleep disorder. i think this is my problem. any tiny little noise wakes me up and i'm incapable of sleeping more than two hours without waking up. i hope you find out what's wrong!

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

It can also be a sign of being depressed, even though you may not feel 'depressed'. I was feeling tired for about 2 weeks, thinking i had to increase my thyroid medication, but then I realized i was feeling sad about something and when i resolved it and got it off my chest, i 'woke' up! Now I feel fine.

Re: Is anybody else tired a lot?

I also always feel tired and worn out. My dh told me to go to the dr. and I told him they will probably say it is because I work FT, take care of 2 kids, a husband, dog and a house-lol! Sometimes I can literally cry because I have no energy!

I've heard that, and my doctor asked me if I was depressed. Well, I'm a newlywed, have a great job, and a puppy that I'm in love with. How could life be any better?
