    Help!?

    Anyone have any ideas?
    I have been so tired and some days feel I can barely function and I go to bed at 7 and I can't stay up any later I wake at 6

    I realize having 2 kids is tiring and I also have depression and anxiety but it strikes me as unusually tired

    I've been to the gp and the only thing off on my blood tests was my iron being low which I got iron injections they got my iron back to normal but didn't help my tiredness

    Could this be hormonal?? Any one else had this?

    Did dr check thyroid levels, I'm assuming it's one thing for sure s/he would have though

    I was going to suggest iron, but you've already fixed that problem. Have you been back to the GP since and explained you're still feeling exhausted etc? I'm sure there's other blood tests that can be done to check for different conditions that may not have been picked up in the initial blood tests.

    Could it be a side effect of any medication you are taking? Needing to sleep can be a big part of depression too. Have you considered seeing a naturopath?

    I'm on lexapro but dr and I have decided it's not that causing it

    I really want to see a naturopath but I can't afford it
