for years I've suffered with feeling tired , headaches ,moodiness ,short tempered and just a general feeling of feeling unwell ....
I was often Called lazy as a late teenager , I remember always having to have sleep during the day and having no energy.. Put that down to being a teenager .

Now I'm in my late 20's and my headaches are terrible and are 24/7... My lack of energy is so bad I can't be bothered to tidy up , but then I get a burst of energy that lasts about an hour ... No matter how much sleep I get I am knackered all day ...

I've gone to the doctors as I thought I might have low blood sugar as I get very dizzy and almost faint every day .im Currently using a monitor to check it .

But I've also got symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome .... I honestly do not know what is wrong with me , I just want to feel normal and be a happy mother and wife to my family but when I'm so tired I can't get out of bed or have to sleep during the day I feel so guilty ..

I'm assuming you've had bloods done over the years?
B12, iron folate, vit D, thyroid etc?

While you're getting checked for the above, get checked for coeliac disease too. Especially if B12 and iron come back low.

Yup I've had numerous blood tests over 2 years , only thing that's ever come back low was iron and vitamin D , but that was during the winter and then during the summer everything was normal again.....
I've got to have more done again this week ..

Could it be hormonal?
