Why am I so tired?!


Question:

Why am I so tired?

Lately, I have been feeling so drained and tired. I haven't been any more active than usual. I am wondering if it's related to my vegetarian diet. As a SAHM, I am no more active than usual though I am active with my three children. I just find myself lacking in energy throughout the day, especially at night. I find myself waking at 6 AM and so sleepy around the present time (8:00). What do you think may be the cause of my lack of energy?

Answers:

I agree with much of the above answers.
A look back to when this started, along with any changes to your diet IS a good start.
But I also have some other questions for you- How long has this been going on?
Have you ever had a similar experience?
How long have you been a vegetarian?
Do you have any intake of protein in your diet?
The list of potential causes is long, too long to list here. But a few of the more obvoius ones, in addition to those already listed by others are- 1) Iron poor blood- more common in women then men, especially with women that have heavy periods.
2) Mono- yes, the old kissing disease. You don't necessarily have to kiss someone who has it to get it.
3) Low B12- Lack of B12 can make you feel as though you have no energy
Ok, now that we all have probably gotten you freaked out over what this could be, here is the good news. Your doctor can probably discover or eliminate many of these possibilities with a simple blood test.
And I have every confidence that he will discover what the problem is.
From the way you are describing it, sounds like this is a relatively recent occurance. I would not put off going to him/ her if these symptoms last more than a week.
