Fatigue

I'm always EXHAUSTED! It doesn't matter how much sleep I get, I always feel like I need more. On the weekends I'm usualy in the bed by 8:30 because I just can't keep my eyes open any longer. I sleep till lunch just about every weekend though. My doctor tested my thyroid levels and they were fine. My vitamin levels are as good as they're ever gonna be. I don't have an infection because if I did it would be 10x worse. I'm just at my wits end tyring to figure out what could be causing this and how to fix it. It seems to be getting worse...

Wish I could help but I feel this way too. Im a teenager and everyone that I know wants to go out on the weekends and all i ever wanna do is sleep. 9:00 is my enforced bed time (enforced by myself haha) if I stay up later than that I can't function the next day. My mom has noticed lately how much i say that 'Im tired'. I think mine is getting worse too. Im not much help, but your not alone. I think this disease just takes so much out of us all the time our bodies are exhausted from the fight...

I have the same problem and I find it very hard to nap during the day as a mommy to a 3 year old! I am just chronically congested and feel rundown.

I wish I had an answer on what to do!

I'm the same way too-its no fun! I have had my thyroid checked a couple of times and everything comes back normal. I guess it doesn't help that I have a 6 year old and an 8 year old, work, etc etc etc. I would love to take a nap everyday but I can't. I wish there was a pill to combat our fatigue!

More seriously, have they done an overnight O2 study on you? If your oxygen levels are dropping overnight no matter how much sleep you get, you will feel exausted because your body never gets to rest.
