I think something's wrong with me...

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

I'm eating right now.

Oh, also probably some vitamin deficiency. Stuff like lack of iron or zinc can leave you feeling tired and lethargic.

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

Yea I was thinking it could be vitamins. I've definitely been randomly exhausted all the time recently. I started taking those ridiculous 1000mg vitamin C pills. Hopefully that helps.

PS that's 1,667% of the daily recommended value, haha.

You should probably force yourself to eat something small, or at least drink some juice. 4 days is a really long time...

It could be a problem with your thyroid gland, a number of psychosocial issues, sleep disturbance/apnea, or you could be constipated. Go to a doctor, have them run blood tests (CBC, CMP, TSH) and see if you can't go from there. If you're constipated, try a stool softener like Colace or Citrucel and increase the fiber in your diet. Exercising tends to help with constipation as well, and it also releases endorphines that can help battle depression.

Just, FYI.

'Stool softener' just made me flat out laugh.

I think Mal has been constipated before.

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

Or I work in a doctor's office.

EDIT: It could also be vitamin deficiency.

DOUBLE EDIT: Or I could be constipated AND work in a doctor's office.

TRIPLE EDIT: What is pooping?

Ya, I said that one.

They don't work, just eat oranges and other things that have a high vitamin-c content. Granted I don't trust "supplements" or pills of most kinds, so I guess I'm bias. Though they have never worked for me.

Chaz is fat. Maybe not for long.

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

I'm not constipated I'm still having regular bowel movements even though I haven't eaten anything. I imagine they'll stop soon for that reason.

Vitamin C supplements have helped me before. And I know I don't get enough of it in my diet so I figure I'm doing the right thing.

Tass, your sympathy in my time of need is extraordinary. Thank you <3

Tass, you have the physique of a woman.

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

Okay, well, you ruled out 1 of 4 possibilities that I gave, and I'm not a medical professional. Those are just the common causes for loss of appetite that I see in the office.

You should probably get a sleep study, or at least a set of labs.

Go see a doctor.

EDIT: IF it is vitamin deficiency, it's entirely possible you could have a stomach parasite of some kind. Vitamin deficiency itself doesn't completely explain the lack of appetite, although any fatigue you have would be secondary to that. It would count for your lack of hunger, and the fatigue that you would have if you normally eat vitamin rich food.

Makes it hard to pinpoint the problem. If you have fatigue brought on by lack of appetite, it'd be hard to diagnose a sleep disorder because you'd be fatigued anyway. But if your lack of appetite is brought on by sleep disorder, it would explain the fatigue, lack of appetite. Or vitmain deficiency would explain the fatigue, but not lack of appetite. Parasite explains vitamin deficiency, lack of appetite, AND fatigue. Although the odds of you having a parasite are really, really small.

Yeah you have an anti-tapeworm. Just force yourself to eat something.

That **** is the same thing thats been happening to me. Ive hardly been eating and every day I wake up I feel crap. Almost like getting dead legged, but my whole body.

My stomach was also messed up too to where if I would eat something, It would hurt my stomach all day long. Even if it was like cereal :- /.

This is still goin on too, but I am eating. You could also try staying off the speed?


FYI, my friend was having the same thing; and he had a super virus that was attacking his immune system. But he was throwing up and stuff. Hope you dont have that,

Re: I think something's wrong with me...

Mal I appreciate the concern but I don't think it's parasites. I thought those made you hungrier because you weren't getting all the calories from the food you eat. My diet is also garbage. I'm well aware that I need more fruit in my diet. Rather, I need some fruit in my diet.

And I'm betting the fatigue is a combination of the vitamins, stress, and that I'm just not sleeping enough.

EDIT: Thomas I doubt I have the same thing. Really I think a lot of why I felt crappy today was because I couldn't get much sleep last night because I live next to a radio tower and there was a thunderstorm all night last night. Gets bright and loud as hell when that happens.

PS how the hell is this thread getting this much attention haha thanks for the love CC

I searched it through Google and it seemed relative to what you are going through. Third paragraph makes a valid point.
