Chronic Fatigue

Vitamin D?

>>42596005

OP here; vitamin D should be okay, at least according to Chron-o-meter. Plus, when I work out I do it outside, to get those sun gains.

>>42595995
I don't think it will be a vitamin deficieny. The only real way of actually telling would be a blood test.

How old are you? How long have you been feeling tired? Are you progressing in your workouts? Do you sleep all the way through the night or wakeup at points? Do you get morning wood fairly often / masterbate?

I'm 33; I can't remember a time when I didn't feel like this, honestly. Workouts progression has been slow, but it's there. I haven't been making the gains I'd like, however. I usually sleep straight through the night, unless I have to piss. I don't have the privacy to masturbate much anymore, but even when I *did* masturbate often I was still tired.

I don't know if this will help or not, but I suffer from IBS and GERD. These two things have caused me to have difficulty eating a large calorie surplus. I'd like to gain weight, though. I'm 5'8 and currently 127 lbs.

Maybe look into probiotics.

Your best bet is mentioning all this to your doctor. You seem on the quite skinny side which obviously points towards you not eating enough, especially if you're quite active.

I'd say lack of calories will be contributing to whatever extent but upping your calories doesn't appear to be easy for you due to your condition.

You could try lowering your activity level, trying to eat more or just cut all the trial and error out and speak to a doctor.

How much time do you spend in front of a screen and what does your exercise consist of?

Do you work a regular job and get up early? I always felt this way until I quit working and started van traveling, I'd fall asleep when I wanted and wake up when I felt rested, during that time I had plenty of energy. I now work a 9 to 5 and have zero energy after work

Thanks. I may make an appointment with my doctor.

I primary do yoga (on days I don't work out, and for a warm-up on the days I do), and my main exercise consists of a calisthenics routine; pushups, pullups, leg raises, bridges, handstands, squats.

My job is fairly physical - I sit very little during the day, and on work days I spend perhaps 4 hours or so in front of the computer; double that on off days (2).

I get up about 8 o'clock every morning, and go to bed around 10:30 at night (give or take half an hour). My work shifts are about 6 hours, on average, long.

Hey anon, have you recently done a blood test?
If so, what were the liver enzymes like?

>>42596493

No blood test, but it seems to be a common thread in the responses so far. I think I'm being talked into getting one done.

You need to see a sleep specialist to determine whether or not you have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can cause serious brain damage in the long run.

>>42596513
Honestly, blood tests are amazing. Get a full blood count and that will give you more information.

How long have you felt this fatigue for?
Are you on any medication for IBS/GERD?

>>42596530

What makes you think it's sleep apnea, as opposed to other things? Just curious, I don't know much about it.

>>42596539

Honestly, I'm not sure I've *never* felt like I'm fatigued all the time, especially when it comes to the brain fog. I'm only half serious when I say it feels like derealization or depersonalization. And no, I'm on no medications. I may need to be on some for the IBS, but I've tried medications over the years for the GERD and nothing helps. I'm pretty sure I have Barrett's esophagus at this point.

Could be your thyroid. Some blood work should clear everything up.

>>42596574
Hard to say without any blood tests.
How did GERD manifest itself? What were your symptoms? Did the doctor diagnose with you IBS or did you self diagnose?

>>42596137
>I'm 5'8 and currently 127 lbs
Your bmi is 19
You're malnourished, eat more

>>42596699
The answer could actually be this simple to be honest

>>42596684

Doctor pretty much diagnosed the IBS; I told him my symptoms and that my mother suffers from it too. Unfortunately he didn't really recommend anything for it.

The GERD has been bothering me for over ten years. I now have issues swallowing.

>>42596699

I've been trying to eat more, but even with a calorie surplus of 500 calories a day for nearly a month my weight plateaued at about 129 and didn't move from there. Again, something is keeping me from gaining weight. Not sure what.

>>42595995
Iron deficiency perhaps? You eating enough red meat anon? My sister had similar problem and I told her it was probably iron deficiency. She went to the doctor and got her blood tested, turns out I was right. But yea, like what other anons said, see a doctor and get your blood tested.

Go to a doctor.
It could be a multitude of things.
You aren't going to get a definitive answer here. Just guesswork.

>>42596732
You may be unconciously auto regulating the calorie slurpuss by moving more, small stuff like moving your legs while you sit can add up

>>42595995
It could be a mental problem, do you get stressed easy/worry about things in your life/anxiety of any kind?

I had really bad fatigue from social anxiety and I've been getting alot better, which reduced my fatigue

>>42595995
It's 100% iron deficiency. Easy to fix

>>42598003
