I ALWAYS FEEL TIRED…ALWAYS…have been to the doc countless times like you…thinking I have some fatal disease…or cancer…never anything. Sorry we are in the same row boat.

Thyroid? Have them do both tests, many people don’t show up right with just the TSH test…

Excessive sleepiness is always a symptom of something. I’ve been brushed off before, too, and told it’s just depression. My blood work all came back peachy.

It is frustrating, but saying “oh, you have a toddler” isn’t really a diagnosis. Or if it is, I want a prescription for occasional babysitting.

Look how I join everyone in telling you what happened with me! I spent years feeling sleepy all the time. I started taking a complex vitamin B capsule every day and I felt like a new person.

I’m a vegetarian though and I understand that we can sometimes have B deficiencies. When I told my Mom about it she tried it and got gout so it doesn’t work for everyone.

Good luck and I hope you find something to help soon.

Sleep Study! Really. Have I missed it, and you’ve done that already? If so, ignore me. If not, then go in and let them hook electrodes to your brain and stuff to your face (which is all very relaxing) and find out if you are really getting rest while you’re asleep.

Wow, I am proof that once you pass the age of 40, you are just free and easy with the assvice!

I went to my doctor with similar symptoms, and after asking me a gazillion questions, offered me a prescription for sleeping tablets!!! I don’t have a problem sleeping, I have a problem staying awake (I have also had insomnia all my 41 years, but never the tiredness all the time). Threw the script out and have no shame in taking a ‘nanna-nap’ on my two days off, if I can. That extra 1/2 to 3 hours sleep on those days makes a HUGE difference. My kids are 13 and 14 and at school on my days off, doesn’t help you much with the Moosh, sorry

So, did he check your thyroid.

I had a doctor tell me for two years I was just “stressed” or needed to “lose weight.”

Turns out I had thyroid disease (hashimotos)

I don’t mean to be that annoying person who has a disease and is all YOU MIGHT HAVE WHAT I HAVE, but! I found that my doctors were so dismissive of my fatigue and it’s caused me a lot of problems. So anytime I read this kind of thing, I can’t help but be all “have your thyroid checked!”
