    Default Energy !

    I need some advice from all you health nutty folk..

    I take vitamins, I eat well - here lately I am just dragging! I work a lot and thats not an unusual thing. I usually pull several double shifts a week and of course I'm sort of tired but here lately it's an effort just to get out of bed!

    Suggestions? Do I need to take something or start doing something different? This sort of tiredness is just very unusual for me and as a side note yes, I do take iron - it's in with my regular vitamin routine.

    Thanks!

    What's your water intake?

    How much sleep are you getting and what times?

    Do you have any new stresses in your life?

    Are you taking digestive enzymes too? (might help!)

    Stress is usually a dull roar, here lately it's been screaming.. digestive enzymes is good idea. Sleep is normal. I do water but perhaps I should start with some vitamin water.

    Thanks!

    How often do you get blood work? Maybe a thyroid issue is creeping up on you.

    The only other thing I can think of is a hormonal change - do you notice anything else?

    Your welcome. Vitamin water is crappy though (marketing). Plain old water does it's job.

    Hormones. It's funny that you should bring that up because everything in that area is still the same.. it's been that way since I was sixteen. Like clockwork.
    Nothing weird, no changes, nothing.

    Several months ago, I complained to my shrink about lack of energy (a condition that has haunted me since I was a teenager). I'm now on 200mg of Provigal in the morning. It definitely helps--at least until I crash in the late afternoon--but I'm of course anxious about being on any Rx long-term.

    Ugh.. I was on Cymbalta for a while. It made me into a shade of my former self. Helped at the time but still.. just ew. Two of my longtime close friends made comments about it after I stopped taking it. They knew of course, and said something to the effect that I was "me" again. If that makes sense - so any kind of psychotropic drug right now I am sort of leery of.
