I have been correcting some vitamin deficiencies this year. Iron which has gone to the normal range. Vitamin D which I'm half way through my packet with. I've struggled this year. Massively. I've been exhausted and weak for chunks of it. It has limited me too.
The last five days it's like my body had gotten alot better. I had energy. I was able to do a little more. I have not needed to go lie down at teatime like I have been. I've been going out more too for walks etc.
Yesterday we had a lovely walk before tea. We ate. Then around 7.30pm I felt shattered. I knew it was a need my bed now so I went up to lie on the bed. My partner got the kids ready for bed. I tried to dose. But for the next hour (quite rightly) my five year old had a bath and dried her hair (with my help) she went to bed. My toddler took ages to settle (long nap after walk)
By 10.00pm I was still awake. Then my body just couldn't relax. I was exhausted but couldn't sleep. Then I was feeling a mixture of fight or flight. Hot or cold. I tried to think of something happy. But I just couldn't. At 1am I took some rescue remedy drops and settled on the sofa just before 2am. My stupid body has woken up at 7am.
This is the 5th time in 10 months I've had really strong anixety feelings in the night. Two of the times it's resulted in me shaking and my breathing being allover. I managed to stop that happening. Two of the times I had started hormone pills and put it down to them.
Why does this randomly happen? I hate it. It makes me feel so rubbish the next day too.
