Vitamins

I have chronic tiredness. I'm not sure if that is a real name but I definitely have it. Ever since I was little I have slept between 10-12 hours a night when given my own way, and if I could swing it… naps. Even then I would wake up feeling like someone woke me up after only 3 hours. I’d wake up groggy and not at all ready to carpe diam. When I was pregnant this got even more out of control, and I’d bank 14 hours if I could. Because I have been this way since I was little I thought that was just my normal sleep pattern. Well guess again me! After getting dinged for MTHFR- which inhibits B vitamin absorption (ie energy) I started looking into supplements. The doctor put me on extra folic acid because that doesn’t work right either, and I went to our neighborhood Sprouts health store and bought Vitamin B capsules. I started taking them last week and let me tell you. I feel A-mazing! I wake up in the morning ready to get up; I'm awake, and alert. I have energy throughout the day and have been only getting a more normal 8 hours a night. But even if I was still sleeping the same length I no longer feel that I have been dragged under a bus when I wake up. The changes are phenomenal. So this is what it feels like to be normal! If (when) I get pregnant again I hope the little bugger doesn’t suck my newfound energy right back out… even if... I’d take it! 10 more days. Dun dun dun.

*Edit 5/30. The little bugger does indeed suck all that new energy right on out.
