I’ve been SO TIRED all week.
Incredibly, crazily tired. No matter how much sleep or how many naps I’ve been super tired. It’s gotten to the point where it feels almost like something is really wrong with me because I can’t quite get out from under the fog that I’m under.
I’m trying not to consider something dramatic and am hoping that this is just a consequence of the poor eating habits that have happened over the last two weeks of working a new job with non-regular hours. The changing schedule combined with trying to keep up everything else led to bad eating habits of too many convenience foods, too much sugar, too many carbs. That’s enough to make me really tired 24/7, right?
All I know is that it’s a miserable feeling to feel constantly fatigued.
Today I’m cleaning up my eating habits and making myself get back to eating well and drinking more water to see if that will make a difference. I much prefer to feel energized and happy and awake!
The best I’ve felt the last couple of weeks was on a walk with JuJu the other day when it first got warmer.
I want more of that please.
Happy Friday! Happy Pi Day! :)
Think about having your thyroid tested. Fatigue was one of my big symptopms when my thyroid became underactive.
Thanks Betsy. If it continues I will definitely head to the doctor and see what’s up.
I felt like that (combined with some hair loss and anxiety); ended up finally going to a doc and it turned out that my B-12 and D vitamins were extremely low. An over the counter vitamin D supplement (2,000 mg for me, but I’ve been told most people can do 1,000) and bi-weekly B-12 shots and I perked right up in the past month or so :-)
Definitely keep an eye on it!
Interesting! If it keeps up for a few more days I’m definitely headed to the doctor.
I’ve often found that how I feel is very much linked to what I have been eating. I perk right up as soon as I start ditching the convenience foods and crisps for eating more fruit and veg, and getting some sunshine and fresh air. I would recommend though getting a check up from the doc just in case, especially if you have been fatigued for an unusually long time.
I’ve been feeling that way — but I am seriously affected by weather and the last week here has been a roller coaster with 70 degree days, freezing nights, and then snow and then back to heat and crazy windy. It seems to be the worst is over and I’ve felt better today. But I’ve also cut back carbs some and upped my protein. I didn’t do great yesterday, but nearly a hundred. And that seems to help not only the fatigue, but also my headaches. Hopefully you get leveled out soon!
I was going through that a couple weeks ago, for me it was food related. I hadn’t been eating a lot of meat and my iron was really low. Once I made a point to incorporate meat more frequently in my meals, my energy level returned.
I thought it might be low iron because that is always a problem when I go to give blood. I have been making an effort to eat iron rich foods and take vitamins the last couple days.
Im thankfull for the other commentors! I’ve been feeling a bit fatigued lately, so I’ll have to try some of your suggestions.
