I'm always exhausted, what's wrong with me?

I am always tired. I get 9-10 hours sleep a night, I take prescribed iron tablets and over the counter B12 after a blood test a few years ago. But I'm still exhausted. The same blood tests ruled out a host of issues such as thyroid and coeliac disease.

I mainly work from home but the days I work in the office I am absolutely shattered at 5pm. I shake and get splitting headaches. I worry about what would happen if I have to work a job in the office more. When I wfh I am tired by the end of the day, but it's not so bad in my own environment.

I am only in my early 30s. I'm not overweight and I try and eat a good diet. I'm not sure what to do and worry about the future.

How low were your b12 levels when checked? I found the tablets did sod all for me, I get injections which helps a bit more. Also if you're b12 deficient you are usually folate deficient so take a look at that. I struggle with this too so watching this thread with interest!

Also if you grind your teeth when you sleep, that will be a contributing factor

Maybe because youre used to work on your own and at home and people just exhaust you? Introvert?

What were your thyroid results (with ranges)? What's your diet like?

Vit D deficiency? Prescription supplement (not over the counter) can make a huge difference
