Hi, I'm hoping someone might have an idea
if these symptoms match up with any known
problem or disorder:
I'm male, in my early 20s, and in great
shape.
The thing is, some days I feel fantastic.
Energetic, happy, outgoing. Other days I
just feel tired all day and kind of
apathetic and depressed. I can't find any
real reason or cause for this. My sleep
habits are good, my diet is lacking in
fruits & vegetables but otherwise
pretty good. (I take a multi vitamin as
well)
It is just perplexing how wildly it
swings. On Monday I'll feel like I can
run a marathon, work 16 hours or conquer
the world. Then on Tuesday I'll be
fatigued and unable to get motivated to do
anything.
I'm not sure if it is related, but I lift
weights fairly regularly (and have for
about 5 years) and I'm often very sore the
next day, when most people seem to only be
sore if they are just starting out
lifting.
Does this sound similar to anything?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil
You're an energetic guy, and really look
after yourself, however, you do mention
that you lack eating Fruit n veg (naughty
lad) ...
although you take multi-vits, they don't
always cover everthing, and especially as
you are energetic, do weights and keep
fit, you need to eat fruit n veg ...
banana's are especially good for you, they
have potassium in them, which feeds your
blood cells, and it's a good sourse of
energy (better than an energy bar) and
it's one of the recomended '5 a day'.
In your subject title - you mention 'mood
swings' ... if you were a girl, I could
answer that one
but as you are young guy, it's not that.
I think it may be
the lack of nutrition - you need a
balanced diet, eat plenty of fruit n veg,
try it for a while, and see if you
improve.
Good luck, and keep in touch if you need
us to support you, or if you have any
questions.
