Total exhaustion

[borzoiharvey]

I am feeling that I can't go on like this much longer with this absolute and total exhaustion. Thought maybe some glucose, in the form of tablets, would help. Took them when I was doing my last exams - that was a few, or more, years ago ! Any ideas folks?

Have you had any recent bloods taken? Could be thyroid. Iron deficiency. Maybe best to speak to your GP and discuss your fatigue.

thanks Oscar21, yes had blood test recently, thyroid o-kay. Iron, good one, I shall look up what has a high level, but NOT liver ! 😚

Hello. What condition do you have and how long have you had it? Do you eat well? I struggle every day with extremely low energy levels. I have to eat something every 2 to 3 hrs otherwise I start feeling weak. After eating I don't feel so bad.

Sorry...just to add I respect if you dont wish to answer the personal details 🙂

thank you Aztec, I have some form of liver desease but undiagnosed as yet. High Mgt. Seeing consultant in July. I am going to make appointment with my doctor as how I am at the moment is rediculouse. As you will see from my spelling even my head is all over the place. Sandy

Just wondering if they have checked your vit B12 levels - if it’s low it can massively impact your energy level

[Smokey001]

B12 supplements, 2mcg per day, ask to, have an Intrinsic factor test which is needed to allow body to absorb B12 from foodPPIs, antacids, alcohol and others can degrade your parietal cells in stomache

Ask GP for possibility of regular B12 intramuscular injections, you can do these yourself into the thigh, but GP will advise

Following your post with interest. Have suffered nausea and exhaustion for years. I rely on lucozade, which is proberbly really bad but I can't function without the glucose.

[borzoiharvey in reply to Forestwalking]

thank you so much, I shall try it x

I suffer really badly with fatigue and so take a vit d supplement, b12 and also have a one scoop protein shake before I go to bed. My consultant said it will help to replenish what the day has taken out of me. Also like Aztec632 , I eat regularly. Ive found it helps with keeping energy levels consistent.

Sorry to gear that you are feeling poorly. Have you had blood tests to determine the reason for feeling like you do? A consultant arranged a vitamin D test several years ago as I had no energy and was constantly fatigued. I was highly deficient in Vit.D and he prescribed a course, which changed my life.
