Exactly what I thought? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1321679 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:44:14 +0000 lemondrop 1321679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: @sandy: lol, I was going to say the same thing- take a pregnancy test ;) </p> <p>Do something that makes you happy- take a shower/bath, eat something that is a favorite, read a book. </p> <p>Otherwise caffeine is my go to aide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1321625 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:40:21 +0000 sunny 1321625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Definitely not pregnant! Though I did feel like this when I was in my first trimester! I wonder if I am just deficient in some vitamins. At one point or another I've been advised by my PCP to take iron and vitamin D so I need to get started on that again. </p> <p>@Danizaur: @MrsH: Exercise is probably a good plan. I just hate doing it, especially when I'm feeling blah! </p> <p>@Mrs. Confetti: @indi: I made my husband go take a short walk with me and I did feel a bit better afterwards! :-)</p> <p>Thanks for all the suggestions :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1321040 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 18:24:36 +0000 mrs. bird 1321040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would ask your dr to run some labs just to make sure you aren't suffering from a deficiency of some sort. are you feeling okay otherwise? having trouble sleeping? vitamins, sunshine, a brisk walk, and healthy foods make a world of difference! but i would def check with your dr if your noticing something that doesn't seem to let up even when you're doing those things to take care of yourself- sometimes there's something else going on that needs special attention. i have a B12 issue &amp; no matter how much i take in, it's not going to make a difference, even the sublingual kind, i have to take it intramuscularly, it sucks, but right now i feel like crap because it's low &amp; i know once my body has what it's needs, i'll feel so much better! (and i'll stop dropping things and forgetting everything!) hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1321031 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 18:11:50 +0000 indi 1321031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PPs. What I've been helped most by is getting sunshine on your skin however you can get it (near a window if it's too cold outside - just make sure the neighbors don't get a show ;-) ) and also maybe toss a bit more iron into your diet or take a supplement. I perked right up once my last test came back a little low and the OB put me on a small dose of iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320965 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:25:00 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1320965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>making time to be outside always boosts my energy, even in the crappy winter weather (which I hope you arent dealing with as bad as I am) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320959 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:21:41 +0000 Greentea 1320959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: that is what I was going to say.<br /> @sunny: I would consider your diet (before supplememts). Eating clean whole vegetarian foods has changed.my.life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320947 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:12:22 +0000 MrsH 1320947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's counterintuitive but exercise perks me up when I feel chronically low on energy. Have you had your thyroid checked? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320942 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:10:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 1320942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found that when I was eating clean and exercising regularly I slept much better and had much more energy!</p> <p>I backslid a lot since pregnancy but I'm excited to get back into it after LO is born. I miss how much better I felt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320937 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:07:24 +0000 sandy 1320937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: are you preggo?!?!?! Have you gone back to work? We need to reschedule our play date! I'll email you with some dates :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320815 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 15:50:33 +0000 sunny 1320815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320740 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:54:04 +0000 HLK208 1320740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I second vitamin D, especially in the PNW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320730 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:47:21 +0000 PurplePeony 1320730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vitamin D? Not sure where you live but Vitamin D deficiency is very common in places that don't get much sun, particularly this time of year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-really-low-on-energy#post-1320728 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:43:35 +0000 betsyboop 1320728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love eBoost.
