I went to see my Dr. and she of course took blood. It will take a few weeks for the blood work results. She didn't think it was low iron because my nails looked good and I eat red meat three times a week. So they will look for infection, thyroid and something else I can't remember. I may have to get some check of my heart just in case too but I have to wait for them to phone me for that appointment.
If those results are good I have to go see a endocrinologist or someone to look at hormone levels. That may mean a trip out of town because our small hospital doesn't have those kinds of specialists.
Here's an example of how tired I am. I sat down after supper tonight and fell asleep sitting up on the couch. I was sleeping so soundly I didn't even hear my husband come in the front door a few feet from me. I still can't believe I was sleeping that soundly sitting up. I mean who dozes off sitting up unless you're 100 years old?!!
Everything seems like too much work. I'm constantly having to sit down and rest. Not because I'm out of breath but because I feel like I've run a marathon and everything aches. It's like if I could only get that one night of good sleep I'd feel all better but I sleep all night and even take a nap and am still dog tired.
Thanks goodness the husband will be home for a few days because cooking the meals, doing laundry, dishes, watering the lawn, and taking out the garbage on top of all my other chores was doing me in. Now maybe I can get caught up on all the other stuff I need to get done before the kids go back to school on Tuesday. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough!
