I know I've blogged before about being tired but I don't remember if I've ever written about the many reasons that contribute to my being so tired.  My depression is of course one reason and I've talked about it many times.

 

I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue which is often a part of having Fibromyalgia.   This fatigue feels a lot different than just being tired.  It feels like every part of your body is exhausted.  I often wonder if this feeds my depression or vise versa.

 

I also have a problem with low thyroid and have to take supplements.  I gained quite a bit of weight before the doctor was able to get my thyroid level up to what it needs to be.  I've read that low thyroid problems also contribute to depression.

 

I recently learned that I now also have a problem with low iron which also contributes to.......guess what......tiredness and depression.  The iron tablets don't seem to agree with my stomach at all!  Maybe a good steak every few days would work as well as the iron tablets. 

 

Depression and Chronic Fatigue seem to be taking over my life with two exceptions......my family and this computer.  I feel too tired to do much besides sit.  (I do try to walk outside for a while every day)  

I wish I could get my energy back! 

 

That's all for now.
