I haven't slept well for around 6 months.....
I just got tested for B12 and Iron....and both of them are in the range but very close to the minimum which is not good....
I feel so tired but I can't sleep well....
does anybody have the same issue?

thanks
Marjan

marjan, I find when my iron levels are low my problem is staying awake. I sleep deep for way more hours than I should. So, maybe, your sleep issues are down to something else? Have you spoken to your doc about this, hun?

Hugs and wishes for better sleep soon

I did speak to him....but he didn't say much....you know how doctors are!!!!
I did some research online that's how I came up with the idea...hehehe....
Currently, I'm taking vitamin B12 and trying to eat healthier food....but my sleep is bad....I'm just hoping to get back my routine sleep patterns....Today when I woke up in the morning, all my body was aching...It felt I've never slept the whole night....my back hurts!

with love

Marjan, I know this may seem a silly question/suggestion to you, but it's just because of you saying how bad you've been sleeping, plus mentioning how your back hurts...

Are you sure you've got the right mattress for you? Some folks get like you're describing when their mattress is too old, too soft, too hard. Or maye trying an orthopaedic one would help. Just a thought.

Peace and Love,

not a silly question at all....I know how much mattress is important....and this is an old year mattress....It's very comfortable....I think my sleep issue is more because of my stress and life change and not eating well rather than the mattress....my bed is very comfortable, but my brain is just f*** up....can't get relaxed and I keep thinking thinking...
Hope I get more sleep this weekend....
thanks for asking

Dear Marjan,I do know how doctors are! My PCP tends to make referrals, rather than doing treatment. This results in multiple doctors prescribing multiple medications. He then looks at the multiple medications and, regardless of my current complaint, repeats, "You're on a lot of medications, and they all have side effects, so I don't know WHAT'S wrong with you." *sob, sniff, bonk bonk.* With Empathy ~ billieJ
