So, so tired

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi ladies, I'm 51 and peri.  For the past 3 months or so I've been feeling totally shattered.  No matter what I do during the day I always fall asleep in the evenings, or during the day if at home.  Any ideas what I can do/take to help give me some energy and strength to go through the day?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Hi, try reducing your carb intake, get your thyroid and sugar  levels checked.....if no joy, loads of info here about vitamin and mineral supplements...magnesium really helped me. Good luck. X

    You should have your thyroid checked out and your iron maybe vitamin b will help you and give you some energy 

    You should check to see if you have sleep apnea too
