Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hello everyone. I've been on this list for awhile, but like many, am not much more than a lurker. My name is Nortina, I have a problem with fatigue and it's been affecting my life so much that I just can't handle it anymore. Tonight was the clincher for me. I feel asleep after bringing my children (twin girls, 3 years) home from dance class. They got their own snack, put their own pyjamas on and put a movie on and went to bed by themselves. All because I was too busy passed out on the couch to do anything for them. I think that I may be pregnant right now, but I know that is not what is causing me to feel this way since it's been well over two years of constant fatigue and taking naps (at least one) every day just to get through the day. Sometimes I work only a 4 1/ 2 hour shift and will take a nap for my 15 min. break. Two nights in a row this past week I went to sleep when my kids did (actually, I fell asleep before them) which is about 8:30 pm and didn't wake up until 9 am. I still felt tired and could barely make it through the day. I've tried sleeping less, that doesn't help. I do try to eat healthy foods and I love to exercise, though most times I don't get around to it because I don't have the energy to start in the first place. I am 21 years old, and I feel so old right now I've got to two different doctors, they don't even take me seriously and just say I must not be sleeping enough. I got blood tests taken, only at my insistence, and was told that everything " looked fine " . I am sick of feeling this way, and was hoping that there could be some help found here. Many thanks, nortina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
