i'm tired all the time even though i normally get ~8 hours of sleep

like i wake up and i'm still tired, by the end of the day i'm exhausted, it progressively gets worse during the day. can't concentrate on shit, don't feel like doing anything, just feel like sleeping.

ugh. i don't snore (at least, according to those that have been with me while asleep) or anything strange...

WHAT COULD IT BE?! my money is on hypothyroidism or some sort of hypoglycemia (apparently my insulin works extremely well, bgl is normally around 60mg/dl after a meal... not good...)

wait, that's not normal? fuck.

nah, i've had mono before, i know what that shit feels like

+ this has been going on for months now, i've just kinda dealt with it, now it's to the point where i'm having trouble getting things done that i need to get done during the day, and also... i am better at making decisions regarding the medical treatment of other people when i can think straight and am not tired.

hah, i thought about this when i typed it

yeah, duh, it's normal... just not to this degree... like i'm almost to the point where i can't keep my eyes open in traffic

Hey neat, you have the same insulin problem a friend of mine has (and i'm not talking about my aidsabeetus, this is legitimately another person i'm talking about).

I'd definitely let em just run every type of test they can think of. Hypoglycemia usually causes me to be all panicky and shaky and such, usually not tired (until after the incident ends, i stop sweating, and my body thinks it's just been almost-murdered or some such).

GL with that...

10/11/2007 2:32:51 AM

hah, yeah, that's the plan

also, for reference: we stop letting people make decisions for themselves regarding their own medical care when their bgl is less than/equal to 40mg/dl. :\

i bet its mono

i had a weak case of mono a while ago where i just felt like shit for 2-3 months. i gave it to a couple people which is how i found out i had it. i never had the flu symptoms or anything serious. occasionally i got a little dizzy or got headaches but it was mostly just being tired all day regardless of how much or how little sleep.

could be sleep apnea. i have a mild form of that. what will suck is if the doctor prescribes a 'sleep study' for you to do. you go to a dr's office and try to sleep in a little hotel room. although its nearly impossible due to all the shit they hook you up to. what a miserable experience that is.
