Roger Sanders said:Ugh. Get ready for endless research and playing scientist on your own body. Maybe you're nutrient deficient, maybe your liver is struggling, maybe it's depression, or maybe your hormones are a mess... hell, maybe you're just burnt out. It won't be easy. It’s going to be a long road.
Depression isn't the issue right now, but it could definitely kick in if this keeps up because I've been feeling like this for two years straight. I'm dealing with headaches, tension in my neck, throbbing in my head, and this weird tingling in my hands and feet... Seriously, when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I just went twelve rounds in a boxing ring... I can't even stay awake past 11 PM, and even then I'm waking up at 9 AM (thank god I run my own business)... those first eight hours of the day, I'm totally useless, zero concentration... I remember back at my cousin's wedding five years ago, I downed like half a bottle of heavy red wine and sat under the AC all night... I was basically a zombie for three days after that. Even in the summer, if I step into a Target and the AC hits me, my head thumps for two whole days... Look, I'll admit I've been through the wringer over the last 12 years—college, building the business, all that stress... But these last two years? My energy is just gone. I used to be a powerhouse, but now, at only 33 years old, I feel like I'm 65...
So then, what kind of methods actually give you objective results? I’m dealing with this constant chronic fatigue and I just want to kick it to the curb once and for all... I really just want that insane energy I had back when I was twenty...🙂
Yeah... So he tells me it’s all good, says it's just a total breeze, and then basically tells me, "Hey, go ahead and get your blood work done if you don't believe me"...
I was dealing with a major copper deficiency and my Vitamin D was sitting at a measly 25 units Plus, my B12 was down at 240
Then yesterday I went for one of those electronic mineral scans and the lady tells me my B6 is unbelievably low... like, actually shocking She said if I want to be 100% sure, I’ve gotta go get a full blood panel done
Sorry, we don't actually run those specific tests here. Vitamin B6 81 miles costs about $70 $177 plus you've gotta wait like 10 days for results...
It’s honestly such a rip-off
I've heard people say this vitamin can mess with your head too—like causing mood swings, depression, anxiety, all that jazz... But you can pretty much get it checked at any local lab Apparently, if you're low on it, you just feel exhausted all the time... constant fatigue and stuff
Has anyone else actually gone out and gotten their levels checked?

Man, have you ever felt like... I don't know, like you were just totally running on empty? Like, seriously, did it feel to you like your serotonin levels just completely bottomed out... just gone...?
What’s the cutoff for B12? Like, what counts as "normal" according to the lab reference range here in the US It says 175 to 650... but if someone's sitting at 250, does that actually count as low just because it's leaning toward the bottom end of the scale? Ugh, and don't even get me started on folic acid
What’s the cutoff for B12? Like, if we're talking about the standard reference range It says 175 to 650. But if a patient comes in at 250, does that count as low just because it's sitting closer to the bottom end than the top...? And what about folic acid
I mean, if someone’s running low on folic acid or B9 vitamins, they could end up feeling totally wired or neurotically anxious... and they might not even realize that's actually what's causing it.
