todayisrough Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Guys, I've been having this problem for a while now! I get enough sleep, I eat healthy and take supplements (Iron, Vitamin B, etc.) But I am still tired. I always get a low around midday and need to lie down when I am not at work. It definitely isn't my thyroid, I had my bloods checked! Does anyone know what else it could be? Link to comment
Seraphim Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Are you getting enough exercise? Do you have a regular sleep schedule and get enough sleep? Link to comment
CatsMeeoow Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I would have the same question as Vic - how much do you exercise? You'd be surprised how much even moderate regular walking can amp up your energy for the whole day. Link to comment
todayisrough Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I didn't even think of that! I go to aerobic class 2-3times a week and twice a week I go swimming for an hour. That actually could be the solution.. I had a week's break from exercise because I had to study for an Exam and just couldn't find the time to exercise beside work! I will see if it changes now that I start up again and report back! Thanks everyone! Link to comment

becomingkate Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You could be dehydrated as well, make sure you drink lots of water during the day. I was dehydrated the other day and didn't realize until I noticed that my skin was a funny texture! Link to comment
todayisrough Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I drink loads of water.. Maybe even too much if that is possible... I just went for a swim.. I am a bit tired again but feel refreshed! Link to comment
tattoobunnie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How are your iodine levels? If they are super low, it can definitely give you brain fog, and fatigue. Link to comment
KnowMore Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Low blood levels- anaemia- causes fatigue.... Link to comment
todayisrough Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 My iodine and iron levels were fine last time I was at the docs! But i will make another appointment! I take iron supplements because I have heavy periods.. So that makes me additionally tired.. I am beyond exhausted right now... And it isn't even 8pm here.. Link to comment
LazyDaisy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Get checked for celiac disease. If your body isn't able to absorb nutruients it could be making you tired. Link to comment
