Will look into apnea. I think I have one, I snore...
Drinking spring water or carbonated plain only. No tea, no coffee. Or decaf if I do. Cream only no sugar.
Cooking from scratch daily and I do not mean opening box and heat it up
No sweets whatsoever.
Got to think sleep apnea... Snoring doesn't necessarily mean you have sleep apnea, but I think most people that have sleep apnea do snore. My mother has it. She snores SO loud. I use to try to go to sleep before her so her snoring in the other room wouldn't keep me awake. Then she'll freak you out because suddenly the snoring will stop, you won't hear anything for some seconds, then it almost sounds like she's gasping for breath and the snoring starts again. I've heard all of this, but of course she wasn't aware of it, she was sleep. I think you actually stop breathing briefly, which explains the sudden quiet with my Mom. She has one of those machines now for when she sleeps.

She has one of those machines now for when she sleeps. DH is a snorer and had a sleep study done last year. No apnea but I told him either do something about the snoring or we are sleeping on opposite ends of the house. I have enough sleep issues being a light sleeper and having stupid hot flashes waking me up several times a night. He had a snore guard mouth piece made by his dentist and it has significantly improved the situation. It cost us $1800 and it was worth every penny.

I could sleep 24/7 forever. I hate it. Absolutely no energy 90% of the time. Overdosed on iron, trying to increase my energy once. Be careful! Congrats on the weight loss, loony! Have you had your b12 checked? If it's low and you've had supplements to no effect ask them to check for intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies. I was exactly like that and turns out I have pernicious anemia (there's a non autoimmune version that is caused by age). I managed to somehow attend my masters classes but on the weekend I basically only woke up to eat. Once I started taking the shots I felt like a human again.

Wow 60lbs
I have lost a lot of weight recently.....not because I wanted to (although its nice to fit in to my clothes better)... but because I got food poisoning.
My skin is bad and my hair is like straw. It just goes to show what happens when you don't get proper nutrients for a few weeks. I think weight loss has to be carefully done so that you don't lose condition
Thank heaven you pulled through the food poisoning. All will come back together for you.

I have taken Adderall XR for years. It doesn't work very well any more. But something is better than nothing. I was an in-patient for a long time, so doctor was able to verify/monitor sleepiness and medications, before putting me on it. My mom had narcolepsy. Not sure if that has anything to do with my excessive sleepiness, or not. Have you talked to your doctor about it? (Sorry, if you've answered this already. I haven't caught up on the thread yet.)

But I have a doctor appt coming up, so I'll ask just to be sure. Thanks for the info!

Depends what they tested. Vit D and b12 aren't routinely tested but both have a big hand in energy. I know I am D deficient. Will load up on it. Thanks You shouldn't just "load up on it". Vitamin D, like A, E and K are fat-soluble vitamins. Unlike the other vitamins, which are water-soluble and the excess is excreted in your urine, fat-soluble vitamins accumulate in your system. Too much can cause you a world of hurt.
