A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as fatigue an exhaustion, headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, heart palpitations and chest pains,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ....Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
vitamin B12 is essential for the effective assimilation of iron, therefore, if you are deficient in B12 you will never assimilate your iron effectively and will be displaying symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia ie ~ dizzy spells, loss of balance, fatigue and exhaustion and fainting.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
Eat more foods rich in iron ie ~ red meat, clams, dried peaches, farina, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, blackstrap molasses is a rich source of iron and oatmeal.
Iron assimilates more effectively when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C ie; citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, leafy green vegies and red and green peppers.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis and focus on meat free iron rich sources as i've mentioned above.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- stress is a big one, eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, laxatives, diuretics, prednisone and aspirin and otc cold and flu medicines, the oral contraceptive and eoestrogen supplementation (if you are female).
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any) as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are
When you take your daily B complex supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food or take a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they all work in conjunction with one another Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Oh, a good way to check if you are anaemic is to pull the bottom lid of your eyelids down and take a look at the skin inside ~ if it is pink or reddish looking that indicates healthy iron levels ~ if it is pasty and white then you are anaemic?
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?
CHEERS

What is your social status? Much friends or GF/Wife in the picture? Maybe you need a hobby or something to get you out of bed and your house.
You need to go to the Doctor and get a total work up including blood work.
There are a few illnesses that do cause excessive tiredness some are, liver diseases, mono, diabetes,depression, and nutrition deficiencies.The sooner you go the better. Feel better and good luck.
Okay, I have the same problem. For me, it's three factors.
1. I have low blood iron. Made worse by the fact that I don't eat meat, I have to take iron supplements. Not having enough iron in your body will make you tired and slow you down. So get a blood test and see if that's part of the problem.
2. Depression. I go through periods of minor depression sometimes. Not bad enough to take medication for it, but I just feel really tired for a few days and kind of anti-social and don't have a lot of energy.
3. Diet/exercise. If you're eating crap, you'll feel like crap. Not getting enough nutrients will make your body start to shut down, which will make you feel tired. Exercise gets your blood flowing and makes your body more awake (I know you already work out though, so you're probably covered for that).
Go to the doctor though, cause it could be something else totally different. Those are the three main factors I experience though, so that's really all I can help you with.
