Constantly tired mystery - any doctors in the house?
I have been tired -- I mean really tired for a year now. I'm a 29 yr old female. Last April I had a miscarriage. I also had Mono, CMV, and H1N1 early last year. Ok? So I was a mess, basically. Since then I have been so tired I could just cry. My doctor has done and redone my bloodwork: CBC, thyroid, iron, metabolic panel, vitamin levels. One time my results showed hypothyroidism but when the test was repeated it did not show up. I am not depressed. I was depressed a long time ago, but now I am on Zoloft and it is helping a lot. I use NuvaRing for birth control. I was on both of these medications and doing well before the tiredness started. I have chronic asthma and interstitial cystitis, both of which are fairly well controlled. Over Christmas I started vomiting blood and having bloody diarrhea (sorry TMI) and spent 4 days in the hospital. They aren't really sure what's up. They got me to stop bleeding and rehydrated and I went home. I've been having light bleeding like my period since then, even though I am using birth control. I have started taking kelp (for the iodine), vitamin D, niacin, and a B-complex vitamin daily. I can not take a multivitamin anymore because it really hurts my stomach even if I take it with a meal. I can easily sleep 11 hours a night plus a nap if I can get away with it. I do moderate exercise daily. I eat very healthily and drink plenty of water. Any help, insight, advice, tips, suggestions, or potential remedies are greatly appreciated!!!

You need to have the complete blood panel redone if you haven't lately, and you should get your blood sugar checked. If that doesn't give you any more useful info, see an internist.

Did this start after the miscarriage? If so, you may want to look into celiac disease or a wheat/gluten intolerance. Sometimes it takes something dramatic (like a miscarriage) for the disease to kick in. It can affect everything that you have mentioned and the tiredness and a HUGE one. I also had problems with the thyroid showing problems and then it was fine, I ended having a hysterectomy because they didn't find the celiac fast enough. If you are going back to your doctor soon, you can ask him to send you to get the blood tests for it or go to an allergist and get tested for food allergies...but I will tell you that the tests for celiac disease give many false negatives (even the biopsies)...so the best and quickest way to figure it out is to take ALL the gluten our of your system and see how you feel and do. It takes months to get totally better, but you will feel a difference very quickly, sometimes within 24 hours. I like to tell my clients to give it a full 3 weeks to see how you do.
Good luck!!

i Believe You Might Be Upset , It Is A Sign , By The Way Thanks For The Answer.
All You Need Is To Believe That Your Child Is There , Don't Be Afraid To Talk To Your Mates About How You Feel. Look At The World As If Its Your Friend , Sometimes You Have Arguments And Bad Times. The Medical Issues Need To Be Dealt With By A Doctor Because I Am not One But I Want To Help. Keep Up With Healthy Dieting And Stuff , Don't Over Work Your Body 30 - 50 Min's Per Day.
In One Point Of View This Is The First Signs Of Depression.
