Okay so I am taking my vitamins/supplements religiously. I'm exercising 6 days a week. But for the past two days, I am feeling so tired that even 7-8 hours of sleep isn't even adequate enough. I don't know what this means or what is going on.
I am napping in the late afternoon and sleeping after I take my daughter to school. What is wrong with me??

have you missed sleep lately and not caught up yet? are you getting ready to get AF? Maybe you are getting sick, or PG? Have you been eating anything differently lately? It could be anything you are doing really good things for your self right now and when you are doing so well sometimes it can be easy to see what is causing the problem. start paying attention to what you have eaten prior to feeling that way or what you have done are you doing more exercise lately by lengthening your time, maybe its a little to long. These are just thoughts thrown out there to help you think of what the cause might be. I am a strong believer in knowing your body and noticing what makes you tick. HTH GOOD Luck

My TCM doctor said that it was because I'm not used to "giving up blood".
After a week of being perpetually sleepy, I went home on Friday night, took a 3 hour nap, ate some food, then went back to sleep. . .for 12 hours!

I think it's AF. I've got her again (which is great!) and I was so exhausted and even though I'm still dealing with AF I am finally starting to get some energy again!

How has your enegry level been lately? Still feeling tired, or just before AF arrives? Have you been checked for anemia? Are you getting enough iron? B12? Folic Acid?
Hope you are feeling better.

Ooops, silly me, you already have a list posted in your sig! Sorry.
I recommend including 2,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 to your vitamin regimin. It has done wonders for my sleeping habits. I am much more alert. YOu might be suffering from a defincancy.
D3, huh?? I will look into that. Thank you for the recommendation! I recently stopped Saw Palmetto because it hurt my stomach far too much. I also started Probiotics (Acidolpholis- SPELLING?) recently as well. Will the d3 interact with any of that?

I don't know, but I don't think so. D3 is pretty benign in terms of side effects. I take many many different supplements and have had no interaction problems. I would just say that you should take D3 with a fatty meal, and with fish oil if you take it. It is better utilized in the presence of omega-3s and fats in general. (As it is a fat-souble vitamin).
By the way, I noticed that you take picolinate- the polycolinate works much better.
Hi! till 3 weeks ago i was sleeping every day after my husband takes the children to school, so! it was from abaut 9-00am till abaut 12-00pm and then i was like on drug, i couldn't do anything in the house nither going out, afternoon again, the children comeback from school and after i fed them, i foll asleep wile they play, i just couldn't resist, i now find out what it was, my Iron was low,
i have been taking Iron tablets for 3 weeks now and i don't sleep in the morning since then.
I hope it helps, take care.
Dreamingslim, that is a good point. Low iron can cause tiredness in women. Nomadic Existence, you might want to get your iron levels tested. Or you can try eating more red meat and liver, both of which have lots of iron.
nomadic....it may be nothing but i have had these bouts of exhaustion. its like you are hyper active for a few months, doing everything thats possible and then one fine day you are just too tired to do anything.
it a burnout...whats worked with me to leave everything, get out of my ritual of rush rush work and workouts and take more rest and chill out more than usual. try this for week so you really feel you dont need to sleep any more.
for exercise...get out of the norm...and do something like casual walking instead of brisk walking or just stretches.....neednt necessarily be a workout.
you could try that along with natural cleansing with loads of water.
just give your body a break.....hope this helps.

i personally believe,we all need to live in peace within ourselves, so we try to learn and u nderstand others, and live in peace with all around us.
I had my blood drawn and talked with my doctor last week about this. She said my iron levels were okay but borderline low. She is also concerned about Fibromyaglia. It's something that we've looked into in the past but never really did any testing on it. Soon as I get a good medical plan/ins I will be tested for FM.
I can't break this bout I am dealing with, I am still taking my vitamins and everything, but I am so exhausted and achy and depressed that it makes no sense.
