Endurance

How do you know if your endurance needs to be worked on, I'm tired all the time but I am capable of walking long distances. I need caffeine by 11 or I crash and have a hard time not caving into a daytime nap.

Does that afternoon nap leave you feeling better and reenergized, or sluggish? I think being able to walk long distances is great! Maybe revisit your food diet and cutting back on caffeine. I think our bodies tend to follow our habits.

I used to have good endurance. I take martial arts classes and lift weights at the same time. After I start taken my med, the depression came out. I feel very tired all the time.

Are you on any meds that make you tired or eating too much carbs maybe?

This is more likely to be a diet, medication, or sleep issue than endurance

If you're in a depression that will effect what you're up to for sure

I agree what others have mentioned sweetie

I would be careful of too much caffeine
It can cause a lot of problems for some people as well

Big squishy hug...xo

Have you ever had your thyroid tested? I have underactive thyroid. There are a lot of symptoms like fatigue, intolerance to cold, brittle nails, thinning hair. Just a thought.

I've had my thyroid and vitamins blood tested their both ok. I've decided to taper off of one of my meds with my doctor approval to see what happens

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
