Listmates:

First, allow me to whole-heartedly thank each and every one of you - the
response was overwhelming!  In just 24 hours, I had well over 100
responses!  Many of you shared, what I thought to be, some very personal
information, and Im grateful that you feel you can be so open.

Unfortunately, Ive learned that about 90% of you who responded are
currently in the same boat I am.  The average nights sleep is 10 hours,
with naps.

Another 5% have been in our position, finding relief after any of the
following suggestions listed in the following summary.....

SUMMARY:

The majority of responses:  Suggested I get complete blood work done.
Hypo-thyroid was a largest concern.  Some other concerns were:  mono,
CFS (chronic Fatigue Syndrome), anemia, mercury & heavy metal toxicity &
glucose tolerance.  I was told to go to my regular medical doctor first,
then only seeking a "specialist" if they dont find anything.

A close second suggested:  Vitamin B-12 shots (on a monthly basis)
and/or oral vitamins.

Other suggestions included:  Going on a low-carb diet, fibromyalgia,
exercising regularly and depression.

I plan to make an appt with my Doctor for ASAP to get complete blood work done.

I apologize for not emailing everyone back personally.

I truly appreciate all your help!

Again, thank you all so much & I hope many of you decide to get your
blood work done also.

Please keep me informed!
