I had a blood test for anemia to see why i am tired but i do not have anemia. is there any other vitamin deficiency that causes fatigue?
Hey James,
Despite what your blood test for anemia showed - you may be feeling lethargic due to a drop in your B12. You do not have to be anemic by Western medicine standards to be deficient in vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 is important to good health. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells.
Characteristic signs of B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, flatulence (gas), loss of appetite, and weight loss. Deficiency also can lead to neurological changes such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Additional symptoms of B12 deficiency are difficulty in maintaining balance, depression, confusion, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
You may also want to consider the possibility that your blood sugar may be causing your fatique. If your blood sugars are moving up-and-down too quickly fatique can result. If that’s the case - you may want to look into eating foods that are lower glycemic. Don’t despair - you do not have diabetes. Eating low-glycemic may give you longer-lasting energy calorie-for-calorie, combatting fatique.
If you need some tips on lower glycemic foods — please feel free to look me up on http://www.TuDiabetes.com - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes.
