Crashing Fatigue
Posted , 11 users are following.
Sometimes during the month I experience extreme fatigue that will just hit me out of nowhere. I could be fine one minute and the next minute I can't keep my eyes open. It's like a heavy sleepiness just overtakes me. Does anyone else experience this?

I don't eat anything like toast, cereal or sugar in the day and I feel so much better. Just try it for a week. The best thing to eat for breakfast. Is eggs, cheese, meat, greek yogart or cottage cheese.

lots of people suffer with this problem but don't associate it with carbs. That is why some people are so tired around morning tea break as they have high carbs for breakfast. They then go and make it worst by having a cake or something sweet. It's a vicious circle. If you must have high carb food leave till the evening. Meat, chicken, cheese, greek yogurt, fish and eggs are the best things. Oh and no fruit juice.

i cant say i have to this extreme, but when i was having the odd period in peri, a few days before i was very very tired, really noticed it, but before peri i was same before a normal period, i would be exceptionally tired for a few days.... food doesnt really affect me in anyway.. I love bread and have bread daily and thats never affected me...

well it was hormonal in my case, as always happened certain times of month.. i cant love with out bread or carbs either, i eat what i like when i like and never had problems so lucky that way..
other things that can cause excessive tiredness to name but a few are B12 deficiency and anemia which is related to B12 ... iron is a good one to take i also take iron every day... blood tests are best to see if any problems, if all okay then Jarrows B12 5000mcg are a good supplement to boost energy, I use to have these, but have B12 jabs now ...

arrrrrrh it was a B12 injection tou took yestersay not B6 .. 😃
if you feel you need more B6 get some 100mg B6 and take one of those with 1x 50mg then you get your 150mg daily..
my B6 are from the farmacia in spain and are actually 300mg, but I split mine....
Biovea web has 100mg B6 ... good site .. Jay xx
