Mar. 24th, 2009 11:01 amI have been sooo tired lately. I mean, I usually need a lot of sleep, but the last couple days (weeks?) it's been unreasonable. Yesterday I got home from work around 3:00 and fell asleep around 4 (after getting a good 7 hours' sleep Sunday night...). Woke up at 7pm, and was exhausted enough to fall into a deep sleep again at midnight. And did NOT want to wake up at 8 this morning.
Jim thinks I have a vitamin deficiency. I guess an iron deficiency could cause extreme fatigue (and it is very very possible that I am slightly anemic); not sure which other vitamins or minerals I should look into. Any suggestions?
Could lack of water cause fatigue? I haven't been drinking as much as I should.
EDIT: A while back, I mentioned that I'm constantly freezing when other people are fine, and my boss (who is a pathologist) suggested I may have a thyroid issue. Obviously that's not a diagnosis, but the Wiki page is interesting. Could be one problem causing both symptoms. Hypothyroidism I have fewer than half of the Early Symptoms, so this might not be what's going on... Grah. I dunno. Maybe I'll just try taking iron supplements and see what happens.
