    Not sure Rachel as I have just started them myself so I'm not an expert. I just wonder though if you are eating enough to give you energy? X

      I know when you first start taking them they can make you feel a bit crap but i have been taking them a couple of months now. no i have recently been tested and all clear.

    Hi Rachel smile

    Are you drinking enough water and taking a multi-vitamin tablet of a night?

    It could be the drop in calories also, but if you feel it is "extream" tiredness and you are drinking enough water and eating a balanced diet, you really should consult your health care professional to be on the safe side.

    I cant say I have felt tired really, well, no more than when I do the usual things that make you tired!  Are you under any stress in your life? That always makes you feel tired.

      Hello Rachel :-)

      Yes, you are obviously drinking enough water, so you can cross that one off the list. You should take a multi-vitamin of a night, but please do go see your health care professional and tell her how you are feeling. 

       Don't leave it hun, as there may be other underlying problems that are causing you to feel "extreamly" tired, you may need a blood count Rachel and we dont want you ill do we!
