Tired all the time.

[electricbarbarella]

I am always tired, I do plenty of excercise, sleep tons and am very active but I am always tired and it is starting to get me down. I just feel like I would rather be asleep than anything else, this weekend I slpet till 10am sat and sun then went back to bed for 3 hours sat afternoon and 2 hours sun afternoon before goignt o bed at ten and sleeping through till the next morning.
Yet today i still feel tired. what the hell is wrong with me, am I just lazy?

iron deficiency. Are you eating properly?

I eat really well, although a bit to much junk. I don't think it is iron, I had tets at the doctors although that was a few years ago, I have always been like this. It is easy to get loads of sleep when no dc though I think now I am really feleing it.

stress maybe, causing tiredness? I think you've been through a stress time recently?

I have but to be honest because of this i really need to feel ok as I have a lot of extrernal people to deal with IYSWIM. I am no longer getting any break from childcare as my support network kind of needs my support.

Ask your GP to check your thyroid function.

have you had thyroid checked? underactive can cause fatigue. maybe worth trying a nutritionist and getting levels of things like zinc and magnesium checked. more iron - green leafy vegetables and apricots.

I had my thyroid checked when i had just had dd2 (2yo), thinking about it i have been having test for ectreme tiredness every couple of years for as long as I can remeber. May try a good quality multi vit.
