Ask for your Vitamin B level to be tested. I have been feeling like you do and I am 'only' 69. It's been awful, frustrating, demoralising and making my mood drop as I've only been able todo a few, feeble tasks a day, before needing to rest. A friend suggested to consider Vit B - so I just went ahead and got Vit B Complex tablets (clean with no fillers or additives) and the difference is huge! I feel a lot better! Good luck, I hope this might be an option for you.

It sounds like depression. I recently felt like you and also had a blood test which revealed nothing. So the good news is that you are healthy. The next thing is to try to get help for your sadness. As I’m sure you’ll know, there is a lot of help available- much free on the NHS. Do try. You probably have many more years ahead and you need to be able to enjoy them.

Exhausted, weepy, disappointed at finding myself still alive in the morning.
OK, I'm 85 and don't expect to be brimming over with energy, I'm not overweight, don't smoke, seldom drink and have a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
That's me, I'm just tired, all the time.
I've been tired all the time for ages, well about 18 months.
I did mention it to my GP when she was doing a review of my drugs (arthritis) but all I got was a lecture on fast food and smoking (I don't). At my request she reluctantly took some bloods, which came back as 'normal'.
She almost, but didn't quite say What do you Expect at Your Age.

Is this it? All that's left?
