About eight months ago I experienced overwhelming fatigue. It's hard to explain just how tired I was, but it is happening again. Last time even though I would get 8 or more hours of sleep I would have a hard time staying awake at work. During my lunch break I would sleep and when I got home I would be in bed by 5:30pm. I would sleep until 7:15 am and wake up just as tired. I had blood work done that just showed by Vitamin D was a little low. I did a pulse ox overnight study to see if I possibly had periods of hypoxia (not breathing enough) and that came back normal. I lost my appetite and my wanting to to anything. Then one day I was fine. Well it has now returned. I'm exhausted!!!! Last time it was okay because I just had work to worry about and I can pretty much do that in my sleep anyway, but now I'm working on my Master's Degree and it is not easy. So far I have failed a test (55%) and did poorly (75%) on my paper. I have no desire or strength to read my material and be a functioning student. BUT I HAVE TO BE. Monday I had six cups of coffee and a 5hr energy shot (which lasted 15 mins), yesterday I had 4 cups of coffee and 7 glasses of water. I was in bed my 7:30pm and slept until 7:10am. I woke up feeling good but by 8:30am was exhausted again!!! WTH.. I had my wonderful bff give my a shot of B12, but so far nothing is working. I have homework to do and reading to complete, but all I can think about is how stinking tired I am.
