NO ENERGY!

Good luck with your second opinion Onigurl. I hope everything turns out ok for you. Take it easy and try your best to look after your lil self in the meantime. =0) xxx

Onigurl, I`ve just come across this thread so excuse me if u suggest something that others have already mentioned.
If I am lacking in energy (keep in mind i am only 21, have no kids and dont have any major stresses like huge debts), I include the following in my lifestyle for a couple of months or until i start to feel like my regular self again:
1) I take WYLD for women
2) I take a multivitamin along with my usual daily cocktail of supplements (i dont usually take a multi)
3) I go to bed earlier and try to get up later
4) I take it easier at the gym but still get the recommended amount of exercise eg power walking on the treadmill instead of a Body Combat class!
5) I up my intake of red meat.

However since I have started eating red meat 4 times a week I am finding that my low energy levels have ceased to exist 🙂
Always remember to buy lean, 4 or 5 star red meats and trim off any fat or marbling.

xoxoPPP

onigurl, you definitely need to see another doctor! There are so many things that can cause tiredness but lots of them need a blood test to detect them. I hope you can find a doctor who will listen and take you more seriously. Don`t give up, eventually you will get to the bottom of it. good luck , hope you feel better soon.xxxx

You poor thing onigirl! What an unhelpful doc! Are you feeling better yet? xox Princess Pink

onigirl, i have had a similar expereince with a dr i went 2, and yes it is Very Frustrating! You know your own body and what feels right or not, so if you suggest ideas 2 the Dr of what steps you feel might be worth looking into i don`t believe that they should dismiss it so quickly. If you are still unhappy and not getting any better I do suggest a 2nd opinion, maybe a full blood test 2 check out if there is anyother underlying causes (like another BH member said anaemia, glandular fever etc can also cause extreme fatigue as well as depression & so many other things). Stress, etc can also cause your body to become rundown and therefore more susceptible 2 picking up different things. Don`t give up Onigirl, keep at it and you`ll find whats going on so that you can deal with it and that in itself will take a load off your mind! Good luck and hope that ur feeling more energetic soon 🙂

omg, i would def ask for my money back on that bad consultation, was the doc even qualified?? iam feeling un energetic aswell, gonna try berroca tho. good luck 🙂

that is so unsatisfactory onigurl! Your right in getting a second opinion, are you still feeling the same way? tired and no energy. i hope you get a better doc this time as it could be anything from needing more sleep to something a lot more serious!Goodluck

Phew! So i FINALLY went to the doctor about this whole no Energy/ Tiredness problem only because i had an eye infection that kept re-occuring…… I know i left this all a little bit too late but the main things is that i did eventually go! Okay so my (lady) Doctor wasnt much help what-so-ever! Firstly my eye infection is from an allergic reaction, i asked for an allergy test because what ever im allergic to must be in my house or i must come in contact with it every day because my eye hasnt recovered. Her response was …. “” you dont need an allergy test just yet, heres some `over the counter` eye drops u can get””…. great thanks Doc, its been a week and no improvement on the eye. Now so i mentioned the lack of energy, constantly tired and not feeling too `great`…. she didnt really say too much about this just told me to continue with my sleeping tablets and to get myself back into the routine of sleeping. The End… make things worse i had to pay the Whopping bill leaving the Doctors appointment feeling not so confident that i got anything out of my appointment. Im in the process of getting a second opinion, im waiting to find a more suitable doctor…. im sure you can understand how peeved i must be! 🙁

I found out that I was iron defficient and had anemia. It only takes a blood test to find this. Mention this to your doctor next time and see what they say. All may replies have been about doctors today, weird….

onigurl, do go to your gp & have a blood test & chat. I`ve been really run down 4 the last couple months & just put it down 2 being overbusy & stressed as i recently had a death in the family. After much prolonging tiredness i finally went to my gp had a bloodtest (which i loathe) & at least now i have a few answers as 2 whats been going on with me physically & what i need 2 do 2 help heal myself. I had the out of balance immune system & like you, i also thought that if i ate well, exercised, got plenty of sleep etc that i`d feel better but it just got worse. The GP should help you determine whats going on & then hopefully you`ll be back on the path to feeling 100% and getting on with life the way you deserve. I understand how crappy being tired all the time can feel & believe me once you can find out why you`ll be on the road to recovery b4 u know it 🙂 Hope you feel better soon…
