Feeling run down,

[treez]

hi any tips for dealing with tiredness and feeling run down?After suffering from cronic constipation for over 5 years i am trying to get more energy and i am making a real effort to eat a better balanced diet in the hope of improving my energy i just feel so tired all the time also my skin in very dull too.

I am now under a specialist nurse and using daily irrigation in the long term hoping to come off laxatives!i just wish i could understand why we suffer from constipation(then i guess we all wish we knew that)

any advice would be welcome

Thanks

Good morning, has your thyroid been tested ? I had chronic constipation before my under active thyroid was finally picked up on, other symptoms can include A lack of energy all the time , feeling the cold and lots of other symptoms. It might be worth checking out, it's worth mentioning that the test is not particularly accurate But the best time to go for the blood test is as early as possible

I hope you can feel better soon

Best wishes

Debbie
