    lacking any form of energy

    sooo I need help. I have been miserable for about the past week or two. I am always exhausted. No matter how much I sleep, exhausted. My diet is perfect too. I haven't been to the gym in about a month or so, but I don't think that the lack of exercise alone can account for this much exhaustion. And here is something weird, I took my clen dose about 2 hours ago (late, I know, but I planned on staying up late to study) and I am already so exhausted... even the thought of walking to go pee right now seems like too much work. Every day there is so much I could get done, and I dont. And its not laziness, but I am just physically exhausted. I've been having a lot of joint pains lately too, especially knees, neck and back. What the hell is wrong with me? And any suggestions on what I should do? I'm pissed because this is the first day of my cycle and I am so tired that even typing this took a lot out of me. Help meeee

    I'M NOT SICK ANYMORE!!! THANKS

    might be a good idea to go to your doc and tell him/her what your experiences. a friend of mine had similar symptoms and turned out to be a diabetic

    I agree, sounds like a trip to the doc is in order.

    yeah I think I should just suck it up and go in the morning and see how I feel after like a week. I really doubt I have diabetes. Before I stopped going, I went twice a day. and thank you

    i would suggest trying to do something active like going to the gym or even just doing pushups or situps or something along the lines of something cardio wise and see how you feel...and if you don't feel any better go to the ER atleast and tell them...never know you could have something not too serious wrong also...good luck and keep us updated

    Honey, not to play doctor or nothing but I had the same symptoms one time and when I went to the Doc, I had full blown Mono. Go see a doctor even if you have to go to the hospital. Not sure if they have them in Florida but they do have things called Emergency care or some shit like that. Kinda like a doc for people with no insurance. Please go get checked, you to beautiful and that body is to amazing to not take care of yourself. If you need help PM me and I'll float you some cash to get you through. Keep us posted baby

    I think if shes been feeling tired for two weeks she should go get checked out... What could it hurt. Exhausted, and no energy are classic Mono symptoms. Theres no harm in getting checked out

    I know the US sucks for health insurance but you can go to the E.R. If they send you a bill for say $500 and you send them a check for $20 and they cash it, thats all your obligated to pay them monthy.Plus I'll give her the money, christ...

    Good point wilson, depression will pwn you every time. I took Lexapro for multiple months and it felt like speed (I have high energy levels normally).

    I've gone though 3-4 break ups this year I'll probably be on it again soon! lol

    Oh, seriously dood, send me some money.

    I definitely think you should wait.

    The last thing you want to do is introduce another variable into the equation that could have an interaction with your immune system or vital organs.

    Please stop and figure out a way to get to the doctor or hospital.

    Whether or not you have insurance, you only have ONE life and it's worth spending money in this case if you've never felt like this before.

    Best of luck.

    actually I was depressed for about 3 years and this past year overcame all of that. I eat 3 carb/protein meals daily, I haven't been keeping up with my fitday so I'm not sure on the exact grams.

    no no thats exactly why I made the point of saying I have no health insurance...because medical care is ****ing expensive. And what if I do go and there is nothing wrong, waste 2g? mmmm I'm thinking not

    I ask because no carbs can cause exhaustion. However, with a history if depression that may be closer to the issue. Depression is an illness, and it can manifest itself in physical symptoms even if you’re not feeling emotional or mental symptoms.

    yeah bread is actually my favorite food. So I don't think thats the case. Maybe depression, maybe just the lack of exercise when before I was so used to being overly active. I guess I'll wait to see how things turn out because I really don't have any other option

    I don't mean to throw another log on your fire but something as simple as dehydration can cause rapid fatigue.

    Simple problem with a very simple solution.

    Studies say 75% percentage of the population are chronically dehydrated.

    Can't hurt to try drink more water. I aim for a 1/2 gallon a day minimum.

    there are so many medical causes of fatigue and exhaustion.

    if you're able to work out, then it's probably oK to go for it.

    if it is something to worry about, you'll eventually not be able to function and then you'll need medical care anyway.

    good luck.

    Yes stop taking your cycle if haven't already. Have you had medical help before with depression? If you had medical insurance you could seek professional counseling or medication. But since you don't have it I would recommend eating a balanced diet (hope you are already doing this), avoid alcohol or any rec drugs, do your exercise, get quality sleep, and seek social support with family and friends. You should feel better if you tell a person close to you what your going through, that could be your counseling and the closest thing to the medication would be your exercise and diet. Good luck.
