Absolutely Exhausted

Hi everyone 

If anyone can offer advice, help, or an explanation I would be so very grateful. 

I arrive home from work and I'm so completely exhausted that I need a nap. I wake up still feeling totally drained and remain that way until I go to bed. Regardless of how much sleep I have, I will still awake in the morning feeling so unbelievably tired. Feeling that way all day, I get home and need a nap, the cycle continues. I then spend Saturday lethargic, by Sunday evening I'm feeling better, then come Monday it all begins again.

Can anyone help, know what this is about? I honestly don't feel like this is living at all. Does anyone else experience this?

     I'm so sorry I missed this important post from you x

    In 2007, I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME).

    At times, I am confined to bed because of overwhelming fatigue that is never improved by rest. It's with me every day, and can rarely do much physical activity without having physical rest at a greater ratio (they call this pacing therapy). 

    It feels like I have flu, but without the cold and runny nose. It started in1995 after a really bad upper respiratory infection, and it took over ten years to get to the bottom of what it was. 

    I have regular injections of vitamin B12, and take vitamin C and D supplements twice a year.

    It might be worth you looking into this as it's more common than people think, and it feels inexplicable when it's happening to you and very very hard to describe other than feeling exhausted.

    Have you had any really bad infections/colds lately? 

    Inexplicable fatigue can also be a symptom of depression. It can also be a delayed stress reaction. So, if you've been going through stressful times recently, and you've been keeping it together mentally and physically, once the situation has passed, you can then go into a delayed fatigue response.
