For the past 9 months I've been sick with
alot of different symptoms. During these 9
months my TSH went high and I was put on
levaxin, and that did take a few of my
symptoms away among those fatigue.
Anyhow, I still get bouts of fatigue and I
notice that when I get this way it will
last for days. Ok.. heres how it goes:
I get up in the morning, shower and eat
breakfast. 30-40 minutes later I start
feeling tired. So tired that I cant
concentrate. I can usually fight this
round of fatigue, but then I eat lunch and
the same thing happens all over again.
This time I usually have to sleep. I sleep
for 3-4 hours and I have a hard time
getting up when I have a family member try
to wake me after 1, 2 and 3 hours. I
finally drag myself out of bed after the 3
hours and I use about an hour or so to
wake up. By the time I wake up, I'm hungry
again and I have the same thing happen all
over again. Even tho most of the time I
get past it without another nap.
Then around 11pm I start feeling better.
If I eat anything this late at night
nothing happens. I have no fatigue caused
by the food I just ate even tho I still
can feel tired after they whole ordeal
that happend earlier in the day.
Anyone have any ideas what might be
causing this?

Hi cath,
The symptoms you describe seems to be
linked to hypoglycemia , when i first
start having problem i was a little bit
like you , sleepy all day and at night i
would feel much better (typical
hypoglycemic). Yous should start by slowly
modifying your died going to bed earlier
and waking up at regular hour everyday,
between 7 and 8 is the best (i know its
hard at first). You should also eat small
meal 6 times during the day ( look on the
forum for more info on this subject).
You should also see a doctor to make sure
of what you have. Be carefull to choose a
doctor who is sensible to hypoglycemia
disorder. I had to see 3 doctor before i
got a good diagnosist. If you go for blood
test it is imperative that you get tested
for blood sugar with a 5 hour test were
they take your blood every 30 minutes,
really important in the first 3 hours ,
then 1 time every hour is fine (not the
usual 2 hour test that is mostly good
only for diabets).
Anyways , hope you get better , look on
the forum lots of usefull information.
