Something doesn't feel right !!

I feel tired all the time, no matter how much I sleep, I wake up exhausted.

My day is spent as if I am daydreaming, my head is in a fog and my memory is worse than what it used to be. Silly things like not knowing what day it is without looking as a phone or computer, remembering what days I worked the previous week without checking the rota etc.

I don't feel sad but often know I have lots to do and get nothing done all because I have no motivation (which I keep putting down to tiredness).

DH comes home from work and I often wish he didn't purely because he keeps talking and asking questions which is daft because I love him, but I don't have the energy to be bothered to chat with him. I just want peace.

It's not like me, I usually have bags of energy even on little sleep, I like to be busy and am very get up and go, days out with DD planned and now we sit in all day and I won't get dressed unless I have to leave the house because I feel too tired and too cold to bare getting undressed.

I have had my iron levels and thyriod tested which all came back normal. Gp said to go back regardless of the results, which I haven't done yet, but what else will he do? I'm fed up of feeling drained.

Try some vitamin B complex, helps with fatigue and cognitive functioning. Make sure u get a good one though, will make ya wee yellow though ?? xxx

I'd ask exactly what thyroid results were and actually the iron - did they do ferritin? This could actually be the issue rather than just hb. If they did do it and it was middle range ask about trying to raise it. I've had significant issues with ferritin at 55, started to feel better at 80. But I've got thyroid issues too. Might be b12? Vit d?

You describe me exactly when thyroidy.

Do go back to gp please.

Could you be suffering from depression? I only ask becauseof your comment on just wanting peace? I get this way when my anxiety/depression is bad.

B12 deficiency?

Sounds very thyroidy (!) as Clarella says. Get your numbers and come back on here with them so that the experts can advise. Sadly thyroid patients seem to have a better understanding of these things than most GPs. Good that they've asked you to come back regardless though, sounds like they are being thorough and not just fobbing you off.
