Hi, I expect that I will get castigated, I normally am, however, did you eat bread the day before, or the period before. Bread always does this to me so now I try to avoid it. People will say that its not hard wheat, to that I say Hmph.Me again....haven't posted in a long while!! Anyway I made a post about constantly being tired a little while ago and I went to the Doctor's and she has said that my thyroid is fine and to just take vitamins etc...anyway I have been doing that and I still feel so so tired...as if I haven't had a wink of sleep when in actual fact I have had about 8 or 9 hours sleep! I am just getting so fed up! I am 20 and I just feel so drained and fed up!! I also thought it could be boredom of my job but it still happens when I am not working so who knows what it is!!
I am on citalopram and 900mg of gabapentin a day but I know these aren't the cause as I have been feeling like this way before I was taking these tablets

Put it this way, if not eating bread stops the problem then what is the harm. I have put up with this curse for 15 years now and if I have discovered nought so be it.
The University hospital at Nantes confirmed that if I ate bread then not only do I fall asleep, but that the next day I am tired, lethargic, miserable a pain in the proverbial etc. A small bit does not cause me too much harm.
Anyway you can ignore or try, it is up to you, give it a week without bread, and for that matter anything with hard wheat in it, cheap beer, blended whisky, some ice creams, cheap cakes, pies and so on. Even watch your pasta, I have found some of that made with wheat as opposed to Durham wheat.
Regards Roger.
PS insulin Novomix 30, other stuff for another problem, and 68, father had it had similar results etc. Passed away at 89
Glad you got appt for nurse.
Ask for
Thyroid;
Iron"
B12 and folate
Vit D tests. They don't take long to get results back.
Then at least certain things will be ruled in or out.
HiHi Nicola,
sorry to hear you are still feeling so tired. Have you been checked out for ME/CFS? If all blood tests are normal and you are still tired then there has to be a reason. It's not acceptable for a GP to say take vitamins with further investigation.
How long would I have to wait for results??? x

Especially when your boyfriend doesn't seem to understand his say on it all is...."Everyone gets tired in the morning" or "I get up earlier than you" He doesn't understand and thinks I am just being stupid or over reacting *sigh*Hi Nicola
You do have a lot to cope with and you are looking for a needle in a haystack ....anaemia is something that springs to mind ...but that is only guessing , other people here have suggested other information all possible ..whatever the outcome I do hope you find a answer soon ....ongoing tiredness is not nice to suffer with ...
Sciatica is also very very painful ....sending you a (hug) x
You will get there Nicola ....take care xEspecially when your boyfriend doesn't seem to understand his say on it all is...."Everyone gets tired in the morning" or "I get up earlier than you" He doesn't understand and thinks I am just being stupid or over reacting *sigh*
It is just one thing after the other!
Thank you everyone btw! xxxxxx

Was going to say a typical man reaction, but I know women who say this to their fellas too!!
As said to Nicola.. I find it difficult to get out of bed without my hubby bringing me 2 cups of coffee first!!
I genuinely wake up tired too, but lucky hubby eases my waking with the coffee. I do try to give myself time limits in mornings so that as my ass is out of bed I haven't got time to think of tiredness.
Also Maybe get a test for coeliacs? you dont need the 'typical symptoms'
Nicola, as you are under a hospital consultant re the pump, a thyroid test is done as routine when you have a blood test done. B12 is done yearly if in good health and Vit D is done only if requested. Hopefully yr dsn should be able to tell you what yr thyroid levels are as I suspect that you have been given a GP printout which is different format to a hospital printout.
I don't think mine have ever been tested to be honestMy thyroid and B12 are only checked when I ask for them. Certainly not an annual standard test for my gp's.
