Tired

I really do not know whats going on. I work 3rd shift and I take my vitamins and at night when I get up but I tell you I really be tired all night long. Then when i get home I can not go straight to sleep. What is really going on?

There could be a whole plethora of reasons why you are tired. Night shift is hard on a person and sleeping during the day doesn't come naturally to us. You could have insomnia or sleep apnea. There are a lot of things. I would make an appointment with my PCP and voice my concerns to them. Take care. ~Ellen

Last year when I was staying tired alot, I was also experiencing some light headedness. My doctor increased my b12 from one shot a month to 2 shots a month. And although all my bloodwork was perfect, increasing the b12 made the biggest difference & I have felt so much better. Good luck & keep us posted. Julie

I have the same problem!! I am so tired at work. I struggle every day just to get through the shift and it was so easy pre-op. I can't get B12 until my 3 month post op blood work is done in July. I can't wait! Many blessings, Diane

I work nights too...It's not normal ... Sleep is not the same. When is next blood work? Sometimes I struggle with sleep after work too... some mornings i can barelget home from work in one piece and some morinings I take something to help me sleep.I went through a period that I couldn't sleep at night when off.. Now I can usually sleep anytime unless I'm super stressed about something..work kids etc. Good luck Gail.

I am 22 months out and still very tired. Work all day then go home and hit the bed. I have to rest up before I can cook for the kids. Thank god I'm not married. The kids can cook for themself some time. Amy
