I'm new here;trying to get some energy

[Guest guest]

I'm fighting anemia and asthma. I went to a naturalpathic the other day because

I'm tired of doctors telling me I may always be tired and never get over it and

I know I can get my energy back. Any tips would be appreciated. I'm 48,

female.

sleep 7 hours a night.  Uninterrupted, dark, cool room.  Do you have sleep apnea

by chance?

No caffeine.  Melatonin low dose in the evening.

Lots of spinach, Lots of fruits, veggies, walnuts, seeds, grains.  Lots of

water.

Green tea. 

Start from the inside out. 

Unless there is a reason for the anemia.  Are you losing blood somewhere?  have

a medical ailment that is throwing off your blood count? 

What did the natural guru say?  I want to know for my own education if you don't

mind my asking...

Hope you feel better my friend!  That's hard being so worn out.

I've had sleep apnea in the past I think but never diagnosed with it by medical

doctors. I've woke up not being able to breath at all a few times. Only lasts

less than a min once I wake up. It's been a few years now since I've noticed

it. No reason for the anemia that I know of other than maybe hereditary. My

mother has anemia way worse than me. She has it so bad she has to have Vit K

shots and transfusions. I've been averaging 15 - 20 hrs of sleep a night some

nights. It's horrible. Even if I can't sleep, I lie down because I don't have

enough energy to stand lately. I'm feeling better after 1 1/2 days of

Asparatate and Drenaplus. Will get the Cal-Mag, Omega III, Lysine and prima

dophilus on payday, the 1st. The medical doctors just ignored me other than

give me Iron

and Acyclovir saying my tiredness and feeling ill was in my head. I've had it

with them. I felt so bad at one point, I thought I was going to have a seizure

and pass out, that was when the iron was really low.

If you have woken up in the past from not breathing, you need to have

a sleep study test done. Sleep apnea (or OSA - Obstructive Sleep

Apnea) can cause major health problems due to the stress it puts on

the body. Been there, have that. The sleep study test will require

an overnight stay in a sleep lab, most insurance will cover it. It

isn't painful, but it is a pain in the rear. They hook you up to

electrodes in a strange room in a strange bed and then tell you to go

to sleep. Warning, there is a microphone near your mouth so if you

call the doctor / sleep attendant / hospital / world in general bad

names, the attendant can hear you <GRIN>. The key words to tell your

doctor are " my significant other says that I stop breathing when I am

sleeping " .

 

Two other causes are a low thyroid (hypothyroidism) and depression.

The test for low thyroid is a simple blood test, if your doctor won't

order it, find another doctor. The depression one is a bit trickier

since there is no medical test for it (yet). There are questionnaires

on the web that you can find to check to see if the symptoms fit.

Exhaustion can itself cause depression so I would get the sleep study

and thyroid tests done first.

 

Anytime a medical doctor tells you that " it is all in your head " , find

another doctor. You are paying them for their support and knowledge,

not the other way around. Remember, the student that graduates dead

last in medical school is still called " Doctor " . Find one higher up

the chain.

 

Even if you prefer to treat yourself naturally, please find out what

is causing the problem. It will at least give you a direction to

start in. Life is far too short to spend unconscious and each day

lost is one that you can't get back. When you are exhausted it is

very difficult to go through the enormous hassle and effort to find

out what is wrong but it is worth it. Believe me, I know.
