hi guys long time no see soz need advice again

[pinkylin]

over the last wk or 2 ive been feeling very very tired weak and acgy in my muscles im not sure what is causing this im now having naps in th afternoon again like i was when i was at my biggest so whats that all about plus i have been feeling really down too now i m hoping this is because im feeling so tired and weak and that its not my depression coming back.

I have started college 5wks ago and love it im only in 3 hours a day so i dont think its that that is making me tired lol i only have one full day in on a wednesday the rest is just 3hrs a day so what do you think is making me feel the way i do am i lacking in something i take a multi vit n min and selenium and calcium with vit d in and zinc im thinkin it might be lack of protein as i knw im not geting enough im sure im not so im wondering wether to go the docs about it or just try and struggle on what would you do? lin.x

do you have vit b12 injections, one of the symptoms of lack of b12 is tiredness, if you dont haven, go and see your gp and ask for them, and if you do have them, you need to see your gp anyway to see what else it could be.
in other words, hope you feelbetter soon, hugsxx

Hi Pinky
Good to see you back, i'm sorry you are feeling tired and low. I have to say personally my energy levels have never changed since surgery 14 months ago, i still feel tired and could sleep at times throughout the day but all my levels are fine including vit b12 as Dawny rightly mentions as a possible reason. You could be just like me and be one of these people. Congratulations on starting college so glad you are enjoying it and it may very well be a cause of the tiredness. Keep an eye on the feeling down and if it doesn't improve soon i would get an appointment with your gp. Big hugs x

Hi Lin,

Hope you are soon feeling much better and a lot of us are feeling washed out... with the weather dark nights and all you have gone thru, plus starting a course!

Sending love and hoping to hear from you soon,
Bev xxx

Hi Lin it could be your B12 levels, but also don't rule out college being a factor. Not for the physical effort it takes but the mental effort. Using the old grey matter can be exhausting xx

Wow you have been one heck of a busy lady Lin and you are so right where has the year gone? Congratulations on your hundred pounds gone go claim your century badge and get it posted beside your name x

 

[dawny]

wow that sounds like a really good course, its no wonder your tired all the time, theres a lot to take in, if your b12 levels are ok, then it more than likely is down to the fact that youve got a hell of a lot to learn, plus its new, and you have to get back into learning mode, plus the s.a.d. as well, maybe once you get back into the swing of things, you might feel a bit better. all the best with it hun, big hugsxx
