Or what about actual chronic fatigue syndrome (M.E.), fibromyalgia, thyroid, issues, or depression. Geeze guys, really covering a good base here.

[LisaMarieDC]

story of my life! I take great care of myself and tiredness is just a part of living with mental illness. Sucks! But, I take it in stride!

I can't believe you didn't mention sleep apnea in this segment.

[mechellturner]

I think you also forgot that little organ called the thyroid gland. it has a lot of chronic fatigue.

[misscutiecutie]

in my case i feel tired all the time. I eat healthy, sleep early & wake up early, workout but still feel fatigue to the point its hard for me to do anything. I have to mentally and physically fight to get things done. When i told this to my dr, she didnt feel like it was a big problem and rather ignored it. idk what to do anymore :( i feel so tired every day and all day :( and i dont even have a busy schedule :(

Anemia is usually asymptomatic. If you become anemic enough to where you have symptoms, your anemia is worse

Dehydration causes fatigue too. Can't believe they didn't mention that.

I get tired once a month for a week and realized it was pms 😡😡😡

[commanderoof]

I jump on my bike ride till i cant ride anymore and rest for around 5 mins

On my way back i go faster and with more comfortable breathing

I dont know why but purging my blood supply with lactic acid normally fixes my fatigue at least for a few days
