Does anyone else feel tired?

[Pinkyandthebrain]

Lately I am feeling SO exhausted, does anyone else feel like this even if they aren’t on their period?

I am literally having to have naps just to get through the afternoon and it also feels like my digestive system is running on overtime 😬

Hi yes I am so shattered all of the time. I have low iron count. Do you get this checked on a regular basis?

It’s hard to live like this ain’t it, I feel like a zombie sometimes x

Oh man, this resonates! Sometimes you (me) just need to have a moan and get it off your chest don’t you x

Ask GP to test Vit D, B12 and iron. Magnesium as well, although more difficult. My Vit D was low, I think supplements have helped a bit.

I think it goes with the territory as well.

This is so helpful, don’t know why it never occurred to me to get that checked out!

You may come up against it, they can’t really refuse if the want to help. 😀 hope it goes well

Yes I feel very tired now. This is the first day of me not feeling like shit. But I sort of do anyway.

Ah I feel you, it’s like you get tired of feeling tired!

Yes same here sadly. Had an appt with my encronologist on saturday and I was prescribed b1,b6,b12 vitamins. Along with vitamin D which I have been taking for months now and iron which always seems to be low for me. I take magnesium citrate liquid before bed which helps me have a better night sleep. I Took the liberty of taking some zinc by myself as I read that it helps so yet to see the results.

All the supplement have been helping and I can see improvement but have yet to feel at a stage where I am more energetic.

Hope this helps a bit

This is so helpful thank you! Really hope you start to notice some positive effects soon

Same here, every day I’m ok for an hour or two after waking in morning but longing for a nap the rest of the day.

I’ve been off work since December with severe daily pain and now I don’t actually know how I managed to work full time and not be able to nap when I need to.

I remember some days I was so unbelievably exhausted it felt so dangerous to be driving home.

It’s a horrible disease that your body is using all it’s energy to fight 24/7.

Best wishes to you xxx

Oh you poor thing, I completely understand that feeling though! Sometimes I wish I could stop work, maybe one day x

Try spatone iron water sachets, one a day really helps me with fatigue when I’m having a flare up especially x
