Nurses or Health People

I recently had some blood work done to see if they can find the reason I'm so tired all the time.  They checked my thyroid and it is off, but not enough to do anything about it.  They also told me my cholesterol levels (I'm not sure that has anything to do with fatigue).  Would this have addressed if I had an iron deficiency?  I've had issues and a lack of communication with this doc before and I'm at a loss.

I've started taking a multivitamin, exercising more regularly, and I only drink caffeine before noon.  I stopped taking birth control to see if that helps.  I'm also working on a better sleep schedule to rule that out.

If anyone knows of anything else I can try, please let me know.  I'm only 28 and shouldn't be this tired.

  • not in this type of health care, but I have heard that b12 helps alot. Sorry Can t help more
  • Did they test your Iron level?  Did they give you your blood work results? It would read as Iron or ferritin.  If not look at the Hgb level. If it is low it could be something to do with you Iron. I thin k all the things you are doing sound good.  I hope you feel more rested soon

  • I'm iron deficient. It makes me super super tired all the time. If you do find out you need iron supplements take some vitamin C to help absorption. I hope you get some answers. I felt so much better once I was on iron.
