Hi guys!

I am having some medical issues as some as you are aware and I am dealing with them. I have extremely high inflammation levels in my blood and am waiting to see a rheumatologist for that and achy joints.

My question is: Do any of you experience extreme fatigue after your workouts? My PT tells me I should be feeling better and be full of energy but after nearly 7 mths with her 3 days a week, I am still struggling! I give it my all during our sessions and do absolutely everything that is asked of me but by the time I get home I am exhausted and usually pass out before I even make it to the shower!!!

This may very well be related to this autoimmune issue the Dr says I am fighting...I don't know. Is there anyone here that can relate or provide info? Is there any safe supplements or energy boosters out there? Thank you in advance for your advise!

    Spark drink by advocare is amazing! Great energy in the morning after I drink it and it lasts. No jitters or anything like that that comes from drinking the other energy drinks. I've read that there are other benefits to it as well. Hope this helps.

    this.

    There could be other issues out there. You don't need any kind of licensed super-drank from Advorapeyourwallet. Multivitamins were recently shown to really not have any benefit. I don't have the link, but it was a decades long study.

    I would look into an organic liquid multivitamin. I have one that has a lot of vitamin B in it and it seems to get me energized just as much as a cup of coffee. Search on Amazon for something, possibly with free shipping.

    Yup, this. I had extreme fatigue a little over a year ago with other symptoms and I thought it could be a million different things...turns out I have a rare brain condition and needed to have brain surgery.

    Well, I was big and old so I swear the first year I was SO tired. Many naps were taken. Many extracurricular events in the evening were cancelled. I had no energy to leave the house. Once I got about 75 pounds off I did start to feel quite a bit better. At about the 1 year mark my trainer decided we'd train for a 5K and the first time we did I planned nothing for the rest of the weekend, because I thought I'd just be dead. Remarkably I wasn't. I felt fine. My year of exercising was having a positive effect. Now I exercise strenuously in the morning and the rest of my day is fine. Sometimes I'm sore, but in the good I had a work out sore. I'm never "I can't walk" or "I can't comb my hair" sore any more. My muscles love being active and staying active.

    With that said... always check with your doctor just to make sure something else isn't going on. Work on your eating schedule... I really need a good snack after a workout. Improves my whole day when I do.

    Like everyone said, talk tot eh doc as this may be related to your current medical issue(s).

    If it turns out that it isn't though, maybe you're going at it too hard? Obviously one needs o push him/herself in their workout but...are you relaxing into it? Finding your zone?

    talk to your doctor but vitamin D is often low and also-since you're a women what about anemia-Low iron? Ask for a blood test to check iron level.
