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 :(

Hi 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.

ME/CFS? What is that? I don't think I have been checked for anemia either! I am just so fed up :(

How's your back these days? Do you manage quality sleep with that?

Back is okay...it never really bothers me anyway it's just my leg that I get grief with but it's alright once I have laid down etc! So I don't think it's that! I am seeing the surgeon next week to discuss my options for my back as I have two very large discs bulging!

Good luck with that Nicola.

Nice to see you posting again. Shame it's because you're having a problem. :(
 
Good to see you back Nicola :)

Perhaps y
The tiredness is due to the stress you have been having ? It can literally " wear you down " And of course pain wouldn't help either :confused:

Signy
 
NicolaAnne, please remind me, what were your thyroid results? And did you get antibodies checked?
 
I hope you can get a diagnosis for your tiredness and you start to feel better soon, you are so young to be feeling like this. Keep pestering your GP.if it still continues. also if you are having a well balanced diet, then you shouldn't really need to take extra vitamins :eek:

Take care RRB

She didn't tell me what they was specifically just that they were "okay" I am back to the doctors on the 31st to get my MRI results for my brain scan for my migraines....rather worried about that but I will make a point of mentioning that and not letting her shrug me off!

As for stress it has died down alot as I haven't been under as much as things with my Dad are okay now! :)

Good luck Nicola on the 31st :) x
 
Why dont you ask a receptionist to get a print out of your results? I found I had to check m thyroid levels myself and virtually insist my meds were upped, the doc had written NORMAL next to every thing :(

I had the blood test back in July though, would they still be able to do that?
 
Totto said:
Of course. Just give them a call.

I keep copies of all test results. Everything.

Hi Nicola,

You say that the anti-depressant and pain killers are not the cause. Both of these have sedating effects and it could be the timing of them that is adding to the problem. If you take them in the morning then they will make you tired throughout the day.
Might be worth seeing your G.P. to see if you can split the dosage so that you take some a.m. and some p.m. and see if that helps to overcome the tiredness.

I don't feel any worse than when I wasn't on them! As for Gabapentin I have to take them 3 times a day! And if I don't then my headaches are back straight away! Citalopram...I guess I could take them at night as that is only 1 a day!

I forgot to mention..it isn't my bloods either...yes my hba1c is still high but it is the lowest it has ever been! And improving!
