Well here goes nothing
I have been dealing with a strange problem for quite some time. It has been bothering me and limiting my ability to enjoy life to its fullest.
When I wake up in the morning I feel really tired, not a normal feeling. The sleep can range from 6-14 hours with no change in feeling. I have taken a wide variety of medicines (Ambien, Anti-D, Melatonin). The anti-D medicines cause me to have bad nausea (currently taking protonix because of bad GERD).
So the morning routine is getting very old, it has been happening for quite some time. Some days I feel really tired and exhausted after eight hours of sleep and at other times feel really sick to my stomach. If I do nothing for an hour or so the sickness will go away.
Now I eat lunch and proceed to feel extremely tired, in fact the less I eat the more energy I have. This has been getting progressively worse, it does not seem to matter what I eat but rather how much.
This is the deal breaker, every night I come home and feel weak and tired. No idea as to why. If I eat supper then I will fall asleep for a few hours and wake up feeling sick/nauseous. I try to avoid eating anything now until all the errands are run and exercise is complete.
Unfortunately it is all getting worse and worse, it is ruining what I did have. I do not want to hang out anymore with folks or stay out late. I know it will be a train wreck the next day.
This is what I have done:
Multiple doctor's and doctor visits.
Blood work done in the early morning (couple of times). Thyroid and blood sugar test, followed by the normal stuff.
Exercise heavily in the evening, tried the morning stuff but...
Many medications including but not limited to: Ambien, Anti-D, Vitamins, Melatonin, Fish Oil, Pomegranate and a few other medicines.
