[VerrryTired]

Hi everyone,
I am in desperate need of some help i have a problem where i am always tired .

Here is my routine:
Goto sleep between 1-2am
Wake up 5am
Back to sleep until 8am
wake up 8 am
Back to sleep till 12-1pm

My history:
Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome
Depression
Gall stones
Diabetes
PCOS
2x Kids 2 yrs old and 9 months old
On Avanza for depression

Doctors cannot tell me what is wrong,when i wake up i can hardly keep my eyes open i have to at least have 10-12hrs sleep,at night i find it hard to get to sleep once im asleep i have no probs.During the day im always tired and yawning.I have absoloutely no energy.Docs have suspescted,Underactive thyroid,sleep apnoea they have no other ideas of what it is.

I am starting to think that i have coeliacs disease because it is linked with diabetes,i have always got a bloated tummy,diahrea(sorry tmi) or constipation pains in stomach,excessive tiredness i dont know what the go is.

Please help give me some ideas.

Regards

Hi VerrryTired. You may have a thyroid disorder. I suggest posting this on the thyroid board at this site. The people there are very helpful.

Hi Tired

I have a suggestion for you if I may:

I am pre-diabetic and have a high bad cholesterol count. I was taking Tricor for the sugar counts, but have now been taken off of it as the doctor feels I can continue to lower the sugar count by diet. When I was on a high dose of lipitor, for the cholesterol, I decided to take, with my doctor's blessing, a food supplememt called Co Q-10. This supplement, actually an enzyme that the body also produces naturally, is a well known supplement to combat the muscle problems encountered while taking statins for cholesterol. It is mostly promoted as a heart healthy supplement, but does much more. It is the enzyme that causes mitosis to take place in the cells which, in turn, produces energy. (I have done a lot of research on this). While taking it to combat the statin effects, I had greatly increased energy, greatly. I started off taking 300 mgs across the day, and after 2 weeks, cut back to 200 mgs total a day. The increase in energy was marked and was helping my heart and cholesterol levels as well.

I also take 4 100mg Omega -3 Fish Oil capsules a week.... again, for the cholesterol at my doctor's suggestion. However, Fish oil also has a remarkable property of stabalizing mood in depression. It is surely one of my sources in fighting depression, and helps a great deal. Guess our Grandmas were right when they made there kids take a spoonful of cod liver oil everyday.... (are you even old enough to know about this?? chuckles)

Anyway, these are my suggestions for what they are worth. good luck and hoping you are able to find restored energy.

best wishes
