Hi i'm 18 years old and have been tired constantly now for over 3 years. Its not just like normal sleepyness I really feel like I have to lay down and nap half way through the day. I eventually went to the dr about 8 months ago and she took blood tests and said I have gilberts syndrome and can be helped by eating regular meals, lots of water etc... I have been trying that but I must admit i'm not that good at keeping it up... That may be why i'm still feeling like this but i'm just wondering is there anything else I can eat or do to avoid having the iron injections because i've heard it hurts lol! ? ? ? Although if thats what it takes... Also my sex drive is so unbelievably low...I'm just not bothered and have no energy. Its not my boyfriend he's amazing, i'm also on the pill and have asked my clinic to change it to see if it makes any difference but 3 months into it there is no change...
Although my boyfriend is sticking by me it must be frustrating for him as well as me.
