hi this is my first time writing on here so thanks for listening. i have been off work now for two weeks and have no energy whatsoever. i do a physical job (gardening) and this is the first time off sick in 9 years (even though ive suffered with fatigue before). ive had problems in the last few years and had blood tests which said i had low iron and vitamin d levels. i am on citalopram since last november for anxiety but coming off it as i also have arrythmia. im going back to doctors on monday as i have all the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and i am sleeping 12 hours a day.Does anyone else on here have similar sympoms?

thanks

Hello Adew, I do have some of the same problems and take some of the same meds. They can all make you tired. You need to write down a list of symptoms and meds, and go over it with your Doc. Let him know exactly how you feel and make sure he answers all your questions. I know how they rush you and you forget things you wanted to go over. Let us know hoe it works out. Pam

I have fibro , chronic fatigue really bad, I've tried phentermine which made me really sick but if u can cut it down it gives u alot of energy. I'm on vitamin b which helps. I'm tired of being tired.

thanks gambit62. those symptons are a 90% me and it is the first time i have heard of this. i have previously had problems in the past with b12 deficiency and vitamin d but have been taking supplements for two months as ive felt the tiredness coming on.

thanks for your comments and will keep you posted

if you have been supplementing (depending on the dosage) then the normal test - serum B12 is lilely to be an even less accurate guide to whether you have a deficiency than normal.

Getting a B12 deficiency diagnosed can be very difficult. I'd recommend that you join the PAS forum on HealthUnlocked for support
