Fatigue has many origins. For women, anemia brought on by heavy menstrual cycles may cause fatigue. An underactive thyroid also causes fatigue. A cold, sinus infection, or virus can drag you out -- even for three or four weeks. Stess is also a factor..
But all too often, you're not taking care of yourself. It's as simple, and as difficult, as that.
Exercise
Get Plenty of Protein
Even if you're trying to eat right, you may be doing it wrong. "Diet is important," says Horesh. Fruits and vegetables fill you up with fewer calories. But they won't give you the long-lasting energy that you get from proteins and complex, starchy carbohydrates like whole-grain breads, pasta, rice, and beans.
"A diet that is very heavy in sugars -- too many sweets, junk food, cookies -- is going to give you surges in energy," she says. "But you're also going to have a sudden drop in energy.
"For energy, you need a diet that is better balanced -- higher in protein, higher in complex carbohydrates, but low in sugars and, of course, fats
When Should You Worry?
If fatigue has lasted more than a month -- and your lifestyle is in fairly good shape -- then see a primary care doctor, advise both Mack and Horesh.
If blood sugars are chronically high, a sign of diabetes, you will feel chronically tired.
Cancer will also make you feel rundown. That's good reason to get routine screening mammograms and other screening tests.
Fibromyalgia, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases also have fatigue as a symptom.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is more than it may sound. "The term is really misused. Many people think that if they're always tired, they have chronic fatigue. People who truly have it are completely debilitated, they are up and functioning only about two hours a day, just can't move otherwise -- severely fatigued."

You should see an md about getting a full check up. You could be anemic or have some other problem. You should also be screened for depression. It's more common than you think and could also cause you to feel overly tired and weak. Your MD could do some tests to eliminate all of the physical causes of your tiredness/weakness and then if it's depression you could begin counseling to help you deal and if that doesn't work, you may be a candidate for medication. See your doctor. That's the first step.

You poor thing.
You should go to your doctor and ask him if you can have a blood test. There is the possibility that you could have an under active thyroid and there are pills for that.
There are many other possibilities too.
I actually feel a bit like that too, but I think it is just because I am depressed which can cause all manner of other symptoms.
You could be anaemic.
You really need to make that appointment!
Hope that helps and God bless:>)

Barnbabe Hi
Sounds like you maybe suffering from a vitamin defficiency. Hard to to be more precise however, without knowing your history.
The only really sensible and conclusive option here is to book an appointment to see your G.P who will be happy to advise and may want to run some simple blood tests.

You might have mono...From what I understand it's not fun..and it messes with your muscles and makes you really tired.
Like some others have said, go to a doctor!
And if that's not the case...try to drink an energy drink every now and then ;) I'm just like you. I work out every day, eat breakfast, get sleep..but some days I need a Propel and some vitamins to keep me going.
Best of luck to you!

It sounds like you are doing everything right, which means you may have some kind of underlying medical condition. It may or may not be anything serious, but you should get to a doctor, clinic, or medical professional soon to have everything checked out.
Good luck, and feel better soon!

I was having the same symptoms you are...I was tested for allergies. I have since found out what foods I am allergic to along with having an abundance of yeast in my bloodstream. I have changed my diet and drink lots of water. The symptoms are less now and the dr has decided that I don't have Fibromyalgia (Thanks God!). Good luck!

Go see your doctor! Lord knows what's wrong with you. Could be one of a hundred things, serious or not. No one can tell you here. Only the doc is qualified to tell!

Perhaps you should see a doctor and have blood work done. You didn't post you're age. Have you ever heard of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
