Fatigue after eating?
 

Not talking about normal, post - "big meal sleepiness."

This is the "serious fatigue - gotta lay down after any size meal, consisting of anything - ruining the rest of the day" level of difficulty.

Anyone suffering this?

Mike, the fatigue you describe sounds like high glucose after eating. What kind of carbohydrates are you eating. Some people don't realize that carbs high in the most unassuming foods.

I may be over sensitive to what you are discribing, since I am an insulin dependent diabetic, but those office works who describe wanting to take a nap after lunch...same thing.

I may be totally off base, but it wouldn't hurt to check your glucose level before a meal and again two hours later. If it is over 100 before and far over two hours later, I would see your non-neuro doctor.

See what other replies you receive from this post.

I'd also check on your thyroid function. When I was really hypothyroid, untreated, I would essentially pass out after every meal. It far exceeded any normal sleepy after a meal feeling, it was more like hit by a truck...could not stay up, but it did improve after my thyroid disease was found and treated. Just a thought~

Mike,

I first thought of blood sugar too, but wonder if you take requip and if you take it before meals. About an hour after taking requip, especially if I eat afterwards, I get very sleepy and love to go back to sleep after breakfast when I can.
