Still Tired

I updated you after my doctor's appointment and told you that I was waiting for the results of my blood work to come back.  Well, a few days ago I got a note in the mail that said "The results of your bloodwork are normal.  Continue taking B vitamins."  "That's it?!" I thought.  What about the heart palpitations?  B vitamins are not going to help my heart any, and I've been taking vitamins and they're not helping the tiredness! 

I decided to call the doctor's office and see if they would let me speak to the doctor so I could ask her what she thought I should do besides taking B vitamins.  I can't just continue to ignore the heart palpitations.  This has been going on for 3 years.  I've got to get it checked out, but I don't really want to start over with another doctor.  I want the doctor I already went to to tell me what to do next.  They said they would make a note for her to call me.

 It's 3:05 p.m., and I need to be in the kitchen by 3:30 to fix dinner.  We have VBS tonight, so we have to eat an early dinner.  My husband I are teaching 2's and 3's like we have many other years. They wear me out!  I want to take a little nap before I make dinner, but the doctor will probably call as soon as I lie down.

I'm still going to try to sneak in a little nap.  I can hardly even think straight.

I'll try to give another update when I hear anything else.

  1. Hang in there!!! this was me 6 months ago. I began searching for natural things I could do myself to get rid of some of the symptoms. Be encouraged!! Don't take "the tests were normal" or "there is nothing wrong with you" as an answer. You KNOW there is something wrong. Praying for you. Please message me if you want more details on my journey.

  2. My best friend had similar symptoms as was diagnosed with celiac - an autoimmune disease where you cannot process gluten - ie, wheat, rye and barley (in our diets flour and malt). It took her a long time to be diagnosed as she was told to keep taking her vitamins and "it was all in her head". Celiac and gluten-intolerance are quite common these days because of the gmo wheat and the fact that wheat is used as a filler in just about everything. Just a suggestion. I wish you all the best with your health.

  3. I had heart palpitations which went away when I took a thyroid supplement, Armour Thyroid.

    They went away for good (without medicine) after working through some bitterness and fear issues.

    Trust God to lead you to the answers you need to find health, and I hope you find answers soon.
