I am so tired all of the time. I also can't drink anything with caffeine. Does anyone have any recommendations for supplements or something that has given them more energy? (I am going to a doctor to get blood work. )

Definitely get thyroid and vitamin d checked as a start. No idea on supplements… I’m sure it’s obvious but eat well, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.

I’d start looking at supplements/vitamins after you get the results from your blood tests.
I will say that I used to take a b12 spray and I noticed an increase with my energy.

like

Which spray?

Vitamin B12 supplements. Try diffusing peppermint oil. It may help you wake up/focus.

Get your blood work. It could reveal something as previously said by others. I went through something similar and my vit D and b12 was low which was causing Energy issues for me. Tell your doc exactly what you are experiencing so that they can help order the appropriate blood tests.

Also keep us updated on what you find out! Had third baby six months ago and I don’t know if I will ever feel not tired again.

Thank you for all the recommendations. I will definitely get all my vitamins checked and everything else I can get tested.

I’ve already had cervical cancer (last year) and have been cancer free. Now have a hormone replacement specialist I have to see annually. Yesterday was the visit and she randomly decided to do a breast exam and found a lump. Couldn’t get me in for a diagnostic mammogram until next week. Came home and relapsed - it was not a full-on bender but I drank. How do I not beat myself up and just get up and keep going? Alcohol is the WORST thing for any cancer esp breast cancer. WTF is wrong with me!?

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?
