Feeling Tired, Loss Of Energy. Taking Vitamin Supplements
I always feel so tired. I never have energy. I take B-12 vitamins. I have tried Centrum vitamins for energy. Anything for energy I have tried. I started eating better and drink only water. I even started walking but nothing seems to help me. Most days I feel like I'm not going to make it thru the day. I'm only 35 and it seems like people twice my age feel better than me.

Hi.Fatigue or tiredness can be commonly due to anemia(reduced hemoglobin count).This reduced the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and thus the tissues are deprived of adequate oxygen supply which makes you tired.I suggest to get a complete blood count (CBC) and meet your GP.Vitamin deficiency can only be one of the causes of tiredness, since you are taking supplements (B12 etc) other causes of tiredness have to be investigated.Hope this helps & you will feel better.Take care.
