Oh my gosh - true-er words were never spoken. All I could do by 5:30 when I got home from work was collapse in my chair and fall asleep. This continued into retirement and got worse. I could sleep 13 hours at night. I didn't have interest in things that absolutely didn't have to be done. Temper was short. People irritated me. Couldn't concentrate. Couldn't sew a straight line if my life depended on it. Finally went to Dr., had blood tests, and Vit D levels were almost non-existent. Am now taking 50,000 mg of Vit D once a week and it has made such a difference that I didn't think possible. I'm still not the old "energetic me" but I'm not 40/50 years old anymore. This is my third month of taking the vitamin. Everyday that the sun shines I'm out in it. I can't believe the things that I'm accomplishing now.
This may not be your problem, you have a lot on your plate. Get a physical, request blood tests and talk to your doctor. Process of elimination. Going through all this I've discovered that I'm healthier than I thought I was. That's been a relief also. :thumbup:
Good luck to you. We're pulling for you. {{{ HUGS }}}
