I am tired

[hoffyburger]

Sleep does nothing to make it better, it's not depression, what is the best way to get my energy back?

1. Check with a doc.

Might be ANYTHING (and I'm NOT a doctor,) but thyroid and blood work might be useful.

8. Yup. Check Vitamin D nd B12 levels

Potassium and Magnesium too.

Also, what's the air quality been like lately, including pollen levels. Tree pollen here in Houston has been HORRIBLE and now we have this shit burning that's put all sorts of partculate matter into the air as well as ozone. I'm one of those "sensitive groups" when it comes to air quality and I'm wiped out.

2. I have to put my devices down and go outside

Fresh air and exercise seem to help.

Also - RE: your name. My nickname in college was Hoffy (taken from my maiden name) and my current married last name ends in berger. So maybe we're twins separated at birth?

3. After a doctor's ok...

and if you have access to a recumbent bicycle... To increase stamina, bike for 10-15 minutes a day for a week or two or however long, until you feel it's too easy.
Then add 5 minutes or so a day for a week or two or however long until you feel it's too easy. Or you can increase the resistance of the bicycle in the same way. It only take a few weeks to get out of shape, but about 3 months to get back into shape.

4. Almost any amount of sugar

large or small, makes me very tired.

6. See a doctor. Many reasons for a lack of energy.

Without a complete physical workup for starters, impossible to say.
