Hi Azura,

I was still having trouble with fatigue after 3 years and even though my iorn levels were in the low end of normal my doctor put me on a course of iorn tonic, which after a couple of months made a vast difference to me. I still take iorn supplements 2 years on.

Cheers Lizzy

Dear Azura,

What I suffer from could be chronic fatigue, I'm not realy sure and have not really discussed it with the Medical advisors. I realy find the need to nap of an afternoon otherwise I fall asleep where I am, be it on the ride-on or at the computer, anywhere. Then again I'm 72 Years young. Problem with this is that I will suffer a low sugar 60% of the time on waking. Does anyone else have hypos after afternoon naps? 80% of my Hypos occur around 4.00pm and 5pm! Again, is this common?

Thanks Terry Im 72 also, so maybe age is a contributory factor. My hypos are not time related just relate to whatever Ive eaten.

Hi Azura. I am 4 years post op and still get very tired if I try to do too much. I have had blood tests that show my vitamins and mineral levels are low, so my GP advised a good multi vitamin, and on Liz's advice I take a childs iron tonic, which doesn't upset my stomach. I put it down to not eating a lot, and I tend to stick to the same foods that I know won't upset me, so I may not be getting a good balance from my diet.

We are between a rock and a hard place, if I vary my diet I have dumping, if I don't I have low energy due to low vits and minerals, but we all find our way and what suits us best.

So good luck and keep smiling

You need to take following Tests

1. Homocystein

2. Histamine

Only then we can determine the cause of your condition
