Please read the article in the link posted in regards to Mg and vitamin D. Most people are Mg deficient.

I fired my internal medicine dr. Wanted to treat my new type 2 like type 1.

No effort to reverse it

So I fired him and got one that would work with and for me

Not some pill pusher

I had a chiropractor/kinesiologist tell me I had adrenal insufficiency, which I'm guessing is another name for adrenal fatigue. Upon going to my doctor for bloodwork, the only abnormal thing he found was a low vitamin D level. To make this a short reply, though, I do believe it's a thing! Like you stated, we are not imagining our symptoms. I wake up feeling like I slept for only 1 hour, no matter how long I actually slept. Getting through the of the day is a huge chore because all I want to do is sleep. I get a second wind somehow late, late in the evening. It's really weird and really frustrating to feel this way and not have the medical community as a whole accept it as a diagnosis.

Yes!!! bringon30 Mine's more like a very short 4 pm wind, then I crash, hard....like fix yourselves supper kids crash. I don't have it every single day, but when I do, that's when I get the so tired I could throw up crash.

I was told that once, went on supplements etc., no change, I didn't think it fit me anyway. It's hard to describe debilitating continual fatigue, among other issues, especially when blood work comes back "normal", you sound like me. I've been searching for an answer to by issues for 15 years and always being told (after bloodwork comes back and they have no more answers) that I must be depressed, go see a physch doc. Which would be fine, but that was also not my problem. I had mono when I was 21 and have never felt the same, but have been told that virus does not affect you long term. I also have digestive issues from top to bottom and have since I was a child. Without getting too lengthy, look into Hyperpermeable Intestines aka Leaky Gut Syndrome. It takes some work sifting through the info, but just take a look. For me it has truly been life changing, but hard because I had to cut out a lot of things, which lead me to this group even though that's not what LCHF is all about, it's the closest group to my eating situation. Within days, then weeks and now months, I just can't tell you how much better I feel all the way around. I don't know if it will "fit" your situation, but had someone not mentioned it to me, I would probably still be floundering about trying to figure out why I feel so crappy, tired, no endurance, foggy, memory loss, freaking achy and stiff, etc. It sucks because I can't eat much, but it's great because there's nothing like getting the feeling of being able to be a part of life that you knew you could be part of back (hope that makes sense). Mostly I'm not utterly exhausted, fatigued, fight sleep all day long anymore. I only suggest this as another alternative because if someone hadn't mentioned it to me, I might still be looking for answers, but I could have been the poster child for Leaky Gut Syndrome symptoms and reasons for getting it. I hope you find your answers.

My doctor says that it takes at least 3 months for the Vitamin D levels to show improvement.

All great information in this thread. Thank you.
