I dont work all day every day. I only do 2 long shifts and have sundays off. I have loads to do but just cant face it. My body hurts most of the time and that in turn gets me down.

Answer 1

Hmmmm..... have you ever researched the possibility of fibromyalgia? A lot of doctors don't really know how to treat it, but I have heard that certain vitaimin supplements can help the condition. If I were you, I'd research it until I found some answers or possibilities. Talk to your doctor about it.

Answer 2

Well, as you can clearly see by the answers,
there are many reasons for your problem!
You need to narrow it down a bit more!
There are good answers here!
The one from the nurse is very good.
Do you have trouble sleeping?
You may want to address that first?
Prepare yourself for a good nights sleep!
Some hot tea, a hot bath, and getting to bed at a reasonable time, allowing yourself at least 8 hours of rest should help!
Your body needs at least 5 hours of REM sleep to properly restore it's self, if you don't get that? Your system will simply take it!
Leaving you very tired during the day!
Try some deep breathing excersises before bedtime!
Keep your body properly hydrated!
Drink Pure Water, not soda or juice, and obviously, avoid caffine at night!
IF you smoke? STOP IT NOW,
That's just stupid, and all these answers are in vain.
Organize your work so you have a stopping point and you don't worry about what you should have done.
Organization is the key for many things.
If your not on a daily vitamin regiment?
You should be!
Especially if you don't eat properly.
Don't eat heavy meals at night!
It's best to eat light meals every 2-3 hours,
and don't eat after 7:00 pm.
This should help to keep your sugar level even.
Without knowing what kind of physical health your in? your age or medical history?
It's like walking through fog trying to help you!
No one can really give you one single answer, Only make suggestions.
I'm a registered Massage Therapist, so naturally I'm going to tell you that getting a massage would also be something that will help, especially after work, to help you end the day!
There are too many factors to give you one good answer, without knowing more about you.
The One liner answer? See a doctor, get on a good vitamin plan, get the proper sleep, and try to relax at night.
But then you knew all this..right?

Classic signs of stress and depression. Get more exersize....the best medicine for stress reduction and fighting fatigue. But it sounds as if this will be a problem, as ou are having trouble getting out. So.... You will most definately benefit, as well as I from B-vitamins bought from your local Pharmacy. I use them, and get tons of energy. The only thing is to eat first, or You might get irratible when they wear off. Meditation & Yoga helped Me feel like a brand-new person (when I went!!!) Seek professional advice, as You probably need an anti-depressant. Noone wants to admit depression, as it seems like You have a flaw, but left untreated, can make you suicidal, angry all the time, resentful, ect...and Just take it from Me, nip this stuff in the bud now or You will suffer greatly on the long-term!!! Therapy too. Best of luck, I will pray for You!!!!!! Jenny in Michigan

Answer 4

I used to be like that. Started exercising & eating fruit&veg. A few weeks later I found I had a lot more energy.

The docotor won't do anything - all they'll do is say you shouldn't be getting up so early for 6 days a week.

Answer 5

Sounds very much like you're suffering from depression. You should talk to your doctor about it.. it's very common, esp during winter months when we don't get as much sunlight. You're def not alone though and there are loads of options for treatment.. light boxes ( if it is s.a.d.), St. John's Wort, B complex, fish oils will all help or anti-depressants, therapy. etc Hope you feel better soon and good luck.

Answer 6

If you are getting plenty of sleep but you still feel tired you should take a look at your diet. If you are not getting balanced nutrition as far as nutrients, minerals, and vitamins this may be a reason you are feeling tired. Also if you are drinking caffeine shortly before bed you might not be getting good sleep

Answer 7

You need exercise outside of the work environment. Make a point of going out, start with just a long walk somewhere nice. Then progress to other social activities - joint the local sport facilities

Answer 8

I'm a nurse. I think you should see another doctor, something is wrong. It could be you need vitamins (it sounds like an iron deficiency). Try taking OTC iron pills and switch shifts. Your body probably can't handle you work plan.Take care.
