What with all the ups and downs thought I would have a check up at the doctors. So trotted off , and armed with forms for blood tests etc, (fasting one) went to the lab next day , Back to the doctors the following week, was a bit intrepid with the forthcoming results. Called into the room , and mind thinking oh dear, the colesterol will be thru the roof, etc etc. The doctor was smiling ear to ear, and said , well Lynette, how have you been, cautiously answered oh ok, doc whats up? He then laughed and said for the age of 56 you are remarkably well, and all your results are excellent and normal. I thought oh s........ I am not going hard enough. So I havent got much to grumble about. Since january I have cut out butter, icecream, cream, and also dont drink alcohol since 2009. have a lot of garlic, water, and veges. But still feel more tired than what I used to. though some days I can have a energy burst.

Now, to me, sounds like you need to "bust free" ... one day each week eat "naughty" stuff.
"Tired"? ... depressed, or just old fashioned bored.
Then again, I am no expert

Hi Lynette,
Did your Doc do an iron level test? Could be a build up of iron in your system, quite common and little known about. But by gee can make you very very tired and zap all your energy.
