Well, no matter how much I sleep or rest, I'm still really tired. On the weekend/hoilday, I try to catch up on sleep and I end up sleeping for like 11/12 hours, then about after a couple hours, I will be tired again! Why does this happen?
who knows, but l get that to... however l got tested for the usual suspects because of my dads diabeties tho the tests never revealed anything to worry about.
its prolly woth mentioning to a doctor but l tend to find that sometimes its just lack of sleep catching up, boredom, or you havent eaten enough sugar to keep you wired lol
The same thing happened to me. The doctor took a ton of blood and diagnosed me with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Thyroid problems can lead to exhaustion no matter how well or how long you sleep. I know when I forget to take my thyroid medication I sleep all day.

I asked a friend about this last night (his mum is a doctor, so he knows a few bits and pieces) and he said it might be cause i'm stopping doing as much exercise which is boring me and making me more tired. My mum once mentioned this to me so I'll talk to her again at some point.
im exactly the same, im so behind in c/w for school because im to tired to concentrate and i dont get a good sleep because of the pain. i dont feel motivated any more. i just wanna wake up and do things! lol
I get this too! When I can sleep in I tend to sleep for atleast 10 hours if not longer, sometimes 12 hours or more and at the end of the day I'm still tired :s
Yes...my doctor told me that our bodies are constantly fighting pain and are constantly fighting to stay together...and that our muscles work in overdrive to compensate
And plus POTS/Dysautonomia can make a gal hella tired too as can a bunch of other stuff.
If your fatigue is getting to be severe and if you're sleeping more than your grandmother ;) please see your doctor!
