A friend of mine told me to take Centrum Recharge, she takes it and says she's bursting with energy. I started today, I can't say whether I've had more energy or not but I do have fluro yellow wee lol.
Step 1 - see your GP, get them to do a blood test, this will check for things like anemia, thyroid issues, or anything else lurking.
Step 2 - see a naturopath. What you are describing is exactly the same thing I had - the exhausted insomnia is the giveaway. My naturopath diagnosed 'adrenal exhaustion' and put me on some foul tasting herbs (plus a few mineral/vitamin supplements) and I noticed my sleep and energy levels improving after about 10 days.
Step 3 - book the little darlings into child care or family day care for a day a week and have yourself some 'me' time. It is well worth the investment
bath - yes im losing weight . monday i weighed in at 58.6 , only the week before i was 59.2 .
then yesterday i weighed myself and i was 58.3. but i find it can go up and down easily , am im not activley doing anything to lose the weight .
i have such dark circles under my eyes too.
When I get run down/tired/crabby, I take Ferrograd C (an Iron & vit C supp), and that's all I need. It takes a week to kick in, but I think it's brilliant. I've tried just about everything else suggested, but Iron is the only thing that really works.
You get it from the chemist, over the counter. But I would STRONGLY suggest a blood test & then your Dr can steer you to which Ferro product to take & how much.
(and TMI: it can do funny things to your poop, or make you constipated depending on your sensitivity)
ETA: make sure you're getting enough water! headaches & tiredness in me always equal dehydration.
