I'm so tired...

[tropez]

I feel good most of the day, but man, once like 5-6pm gets here, I start to shut down. It sucks not having energy like I've been used to for the last 36 years of my life. I hope this isn't permanent.

Have you had your vitamin levels tested recently? Being low or deficient can bring on a lot of symptoms like fatigue etc. Have your GP or GI check your Iron, B12, folic acid, magnesium, potassium, vit A, B, C, D, E, K, Zinc etc. If you're low then you can talk to them about supplementing.

Are you taking any medications, Tropez?

Like Crabby suggested, I'd definitely have my vitamin levels checked. That can have a big impact on your health and energy levels.

Vitamin D deficient, Iron deficient, been on supplements for a couple of weeks now.

I take 5,000IU of liquid D3 a day. What do you take? You'll want to retest after about a month to see if you're supplementing enough. If the iron keeps staying low then you may have to start getting iron infusions. 325mg per day of iron did nothing for me so I started doing 650mg per day and the number finally went to the normal range. Your B12 was fine? Folic acid ok?

Results attached, I don't see folic acid listed.
