Why am i so tired all the time???

[GreatAuntieWurly]

I'm not pregnant, have just got over water infection but felt like this before I had the infection. I just want to sleep all the time.

Any ideas??

Are you anaemic, by any chance? What's your diet like? Are you drinking plenty of water?

have been anaemic during both pregnancies.

I feel exactly the same, GAW. No obvious reason for it, but I'm excessively tired.

depression,anaemia.actual tiredness for a good reason,lack of exercise, post viral syndrome,eating the wrong foods?

LA i go to bed between 9 and 10pm tho last night it was about 8.30. was awake at 7am this morning but didnt drag myself out of bed til about 7.20 and even then I could have gone back to sleep.

No exercise does it for me...and makes me bad tempered and generally foul. Feels like the last thing you want to do but go running or something....try the mumsnet link for handy hints and support.

Think you should go to your doctor and get checked out...could be a number of things - thyroid problems. ME etc....best to get some advice from your GP though.

Probably a long shot but maybe worth getting ablod test for thyroid function - my pregnancy made my thyroid go all over the place and I couldn't do anything for tiredness

Have you had your thyroid function tested?

I ask because that how i felt before i was diagnosed. If your not sure ask your doctor to do a blood test for it and even if it comes back normal then at least its something you've ruled out.

Good luck hope you feel better soon

Agree with cluckyagain. I felt like that over the Christmas holiday. Too much food, too little exercise.
Now back into the routine, normal diet and swimming/walking, less loafing around.

But, don't dismiss it. If things really don't feel right, get a check up at the GP.

Hope you're feeling more lively again soon.

What's your diet like? Are you eating lots of carbohydrates - bread, pasta, rice, sugar, etc? These can all make you feel sluggish and constantly tired.

think I shall have to make an appointment with the doctor and see what he says. Our diet is good (ds1 has a weight problem so we are quite careful what we all eat), i'm walking loads (back into the normal school run routine), I do suffer depression but have been ok recently havent felt down at all.
