My girlfriend is always tired?

Hey guys, my girlfriend for the last 3 weeks has been insanely tired, she says that there isn't a moment where she feels awake and she's getting worried as she hasn't felt like herself for awhile. She's vegetarian, and since she's been back from her holidays she's stopped eating quorn, to just once a week, where she used to have it 4/5 times. She eats enough, 3 meals big portions and supper and snacks, but her diet is very limited, meaning she eats a lot of the same stuff but not enough of other things like iron and protein. I think this may be linked with her tiredness, however she now can't walk for long distances without feeling a bit light-headed and dizzy, she was ill with a cold a few weeks ago but she still hasn't fully recovered which is again strange as she usually has about a week of illness. I'm worried cause we're only 17 and its not normal for s teen to be this tired, she's going to the docs on tuesday but does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

We bought some multivitamin tablets which contain 100% iron and protein this week, does anyone know if these are useful and actually work, if they are how long do they take to have an effect.

Finally If it is to do with iron or protein deficiency, which iron-rich foods should she include in her diet?

Thanks.My girlfriend is always tired?
if she is vegetarian and not vegan then eggs are high in protein, for iron, dark green leafy veg are high in it, eg cabbage, brocolli etc. Is there any chance she could be pregnant?My girlfriend is always tired?
I'm not an expert on being a vegetarian; but my impression is that most of them are healthier than the rest of us. So I have to wonder if your girlfriend has learned enough about it to be eating correctly. It is not as simple as cutting things out of your diet. You need to know how to balance you diet while excluding the things you don't want to consume.



My advice is to see the doctor just to be sure it isn't something else. It will ease your minds. Be aware, though, that most doctors don't really know much about these kinds of things. They don't study nutrition in very much detail.



Then I would see a nutritionist or at the very least do some serious research into how to meet your nutritional needs while following a vegetarian lifestyle.



Vitamins couldn't hurt.
it could well be and she really need to get a full blood count done, all she need to do is see her GP , i have posted you a link that gives you a list of iron rich foods. good luck.

Use the iron tablets, they do work. Also, you can by different tablets like that to boost energy levels.



You could get a tonic, like 'Seven Seas'. You usually have to take it three times a day after meals. It makes you feel less tired, so should be great for your girlfriend. You can usually by a tonic from 'Sainsbury's' or 'Tesco's'.



As for the Quorn, I think she should try to eat more as this may be the problem. But, I would go and see your GP...it could be something else.



Hope that helps :)
Sounds like iron deficiency which is very common in young women and in vegetarians. She might do well to go to her doctor and go on iron supplements just for a while until she can get her iron levels up. This is definitely much harder for a vegetarian. Lentils tend to contain large amounts of iron, but it's definitely harder to get her required iron from a meatless diet

dont prescribe for yourself. eat a wide variety of foods including meat, veg and fruit. when she has been to the docs she may have a better understanding you need variety to get all the trace elements, carbohydrates and protienes to allow your body to do it's work properly and dont forget to drink enough water each day, at least 1Ltre
It could be any number of things, but you should get the doctor to take a blood panel, and also test her thyroid. The blood panel consists of WBC, RBC, and Hemoglobin.
she needs to get out more
it sounds like its mostly her dietary habits which is causing her these problems which is leading to deficiencies of certain essential vitamins. Suggest she takes supplements to start and try to expand her pallet! Plenty of vegetables, fruits and most importantly water. But being a vegetarian will limit her foods however that means she must make up the lack of protein and iron, this is probably why she's feeling so weak. Beans, veggies such as broccoli, asparagus, and cabbage are best for iron, and tofu is great
Last week i had a cold, and i stopped eating because i was to ill, so i did not have any quorn food, when that had almost completely gone i was going all dizzy and horrible so i stayed of school for a week.



My doctor gave me some drops to put into my drink in the mornings, and it really helps, i am still slightly tired but not as much as i was. I just need to start eating some more quorn and i should be fine.



In order to get more protein get her to eat peanut butter, it is great for protein.



I hope she gets better. x
Tiredness and dizziness would indicate insufficient oxygen getting to the right places and could be due to a low haemoglobin level which could be due to insufficient iron in the diet. However, iron on its own may not be enough. She may be short on Vitamin B12 and folic acid.



Good sources of iron include liver, beef, wholemeal bread, cereals, eggs and dried fruit.



Good sources of folic acid include beans, oatmeal, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, beef and liver.



Good sources of Vitamin B12 are fish, liver, beef, pork, eggs, milk, and cheese.



If it is just iron deficiency anaemia, ';iron tablets will rapidly reverse anaemia, so long as any underlying cause of blood loss has been treated';.



The doctors should be able to give a definitive answer from blood tests.



It could also be something like a severe infection, such as glandular fever - are her glands swollen ?





What are the symptoms of glandular fever?

================================



Before the disease breaks out, one to two weeks may pass with symptoms that are similar to those of flu.



A sore throat with swollen tonsils that are heavily covered by a white coating.



Fever.



Severe fatigue.



Muscle pains.



Headache.



Tendency to sweat.



Stomach pains and there may be signs of an enlargement of the spleen.



Swollen and sore lymph nodes in the throat, armpits and the groin.



The liver may become enlarged and yellow jaundice may develop.



There may be a rash.
i'm a pollotarian, which is almost the sam thing as a vegetarian except i eat chicken. i'm always tired too. my friend had the same problem and her doctor told her she just needed to eat lots of food with iron and take iron pills, it helped her.
i've gt a question for you how many hours of sleep does she get???? being a veggy grl she doesn't get alot of what she needs so she needs more rest it doesn't really mean this is the main prob cause it most definately ISN';T just curious

How do you deal when the guy you like gets a girlfriend?

Well this guy I really like %26amp; hes also my best guy friend, he has a new gf %26amp; it sucks of how much I like him.. Well Its really getting on my nerves %26amp; i think i'm jealous. How do I ignore them %26amp; stop thinking about him. He's sister is my best friend so when we all hang out hes always there. How can I stop being so crazy %26amp; to just continue to be friends with him without getting hurt.How do you deal when the guy you like gets a girlfriend?
just erase all thoughts from your mind of you liking him trust me it works.How do you deal when the guy you like gets a girlfriend?
Avoid being around him when he's around his gf that will take your mind off of him having a gf and you can try dating some one else not to get him jelous but. To get rid of your feelings for him or just wait till they break up and tell him u like him
Oh, I can relate. Just stay being his friend.

Cause when that girl and him break up, you'll be there to be a friend and comfort him.



The best relationships are the ones constantly rooted in friendship.

So, if you guys ever go out, and break up, keep your friendship alive. Cause that's the real thing, that will always last. '



And who knows? Being his friend could pay off one day.

How bad is it to flirt with a guy who has a girlfriend?

I've known this guy for about 7 months now. He hasn't really mentioned his girlfriend besides the fact that he says things aren't really working out, but he's been with her for ten months and he doesn't know what to do. We talk at least once a day and occasionally go out ';as friends.'; he always genuinely the sweetest things and we get along so well. i usually hate relationships, but his guy seems so amazing. but there is still that girlfriend..help?How bad is it to flirt with a guy who has a girlfriend?

    this guy keeps slapping my girlfriends butt, and telling her he wants to screw her and things like that, and im not shure what to do.How do I get a guy to stop flirting with my girlfriend?
    Tell him not to do it. And, if he keeps it up clean his clock. If you do not want to fight then get creative. Good luck.

    PS - Update your question by posting the guy's name, address and phone no. He should get a few unpleasant calls.How do I get a guy to stop flirting with my girlfriend?
    Tell the guy to stop. And if he doesn't, scare him by reporting him for sexual harrassment. You shouldn't have to do it, she should (if she cares about you). If she doesn't do anything ,she likes the flirting or she doesn't want to be known as a ';snitch.';

    GUY QUESTION! yes. i know. what else is new ?

    Alright. Sooo, i will try to make this as brief as possible.



    My ex and i broke up likee, a few months ago. But just recently, i've started to have feelings for my best guy friend. He's always been there for me, giving me advice and helping me w/ any past bf problems. Anyways, a lot of my other friends were telling me how they think he likes me too, because he makes it quite obvious. After hearing this, i was surprised, but happy. I felt bad though, because i've moved on so fast from my ex. Well, my girlfriends were telling me now how they've heard that my best friend is a flirt %26amp; kind of a player. I found this REALLY surprising, because he's always been the more reserved, shy type of guy. My girlfriends say he always has feelings for more than one girl, and when that happens, he can never make up his mind, %26amp; therefore, flirts with all of 'em. I was so surprised, because he never acts like the typical player with me. Just recently, it seems like he's gotten more serious about me, always wanting to hang out with me and me only, calling me on the phone, etc. SO, i guess my Q is: Should i ignore what my friends have heard about him, or should i trust my feelings and try to see him as a GOOD guy, who my best friend is ? I've just been getting so tired of guys that only care about *physical stuff* and flirting with all the girls. When i'm with my best friend, he's always so kind and caring, and seems like a completely different person than what my friends were describing. Help please ? :)



    * And i'm sooo sorry for making this kinda long! Thank you all so much for your help! :) *GUY QUESTION! yes. i know. what else is new ?
    I agree with N S P, keep what they've said in mind (and think about how reliable the sources are!!!) but dont let that affect your judgements of him. And you might want to ask him about it, but do NOT accuse him of anything.GUY QUESTION! yes. i know. what else is new ?
    My advice is talk to him face to face and ask him about what your friends have said, if hes your best friend you should be able to tell whether hes lying or not. Make sure that he knows that your not accusing him of anything and explain that you've started to have feelings for him.



    Good luck x

    How do i get a guy that has a girlfriend to go out with me?

    We dstarted going out in the middle of summer then 2 weeks after his old girlfriend that broke up with him in the middle of the summer and comes back to our school and told him that she just wanted a break which is pretty much breaking up with him,b ut he went back to her, and she will mostly likley do the same exact thing in a few months!!!How do i get a guy that has a girlfriend to go out with me?
    you can find someone new or you could just wait around until they break up again and be happy that you are his second choiceHow do i get a guy that has a girlfriend to go out with me?
    That's his problem...Find yourself someone who is more stable.
    Believe me,you don't want to be the one he left his girlfriend for. If he'll do it to her, he'll probably do it to you.
    why would you want that
    he chose to go back to her...why bother try to steal him away
    Girl do you really want to put yourself through this crap everytime she decides she wants him back and he goes. Why mess with someone who is so hung up on someone, that he'd ditch you, when there are plenty of men that aren't obsessed with thier x's.
    if he is with someone else and you still try to get him then you are a slut,if he is trying to be with both of you then he's no good and will be the same way with you and the next new girl
    Just stay out of it. Why do you want to get back together with someone who's already left you for his former girlfriend once. It can't make you feel good to be considered second best. You deserve better! Find someone who is available and READY to start a NEW relationship with you (and no one else).



    Best wishes.
    hey

    there are a lot of fish in the sea... so let this one go..

    even if u do manage to break them up...u'll still be only his second choice...So find someone who wants to be with you and doesnt see you only as second best!! I know this sound bad...but its wat i think.

    goodluck
    Do you really want a guy who would dump you for such a manipulative skank? Move on! You deserve better.
    look for someone else. he's always gonna leave. even if he dumps her, it seems he really likes her and will dump you for her eventually.
    So, you want someone, that wants ';someone like her?';

    .

    .
    Do you love him? If so, my heart goes out to you as it is a terrible thing to be betrayed by the one whom you love.

    If he's so unstable as you say, why on earth even think about him? You are entitled to have someone who'll love you exclusively, that is the only way a relationship should be.



    I wish you all the best; I know it is hard to be without someone but it might be best to put him out of your life.
    california girl,



    i would totally look for somebody else, Trying to break somebody up for you is not the right thing to do.



    there's plenty of single guys' out there, however it sounds like both of you are a little immature to be playing these games, don't mean to put ya down
    Drama, drama, drama. Stay away from him.
    Just give him time and do something to cacth his eyes.

    How can I convence my girlfriend not to go to prom with another guy?

    I got suspended at the bigining of the year and now that I have a girlfriend that's a junior I would be able to go but I got suspended. So she wants to go with another guy whom I think has a crush on her. I don't feel I can trust her enough and this worries me alot. How can I convence her to go with her ';girlfriends'; instead of another guy? I'm worried that things might get out of hand.How can I convence my girlfriend not to go to prom with another guy?
    That's not fair to you..



    Especially to go with someone who has a crush on her? I say dump her and beat the guy up, give yourself a legit reason for being suspended..haha



    No, but foreal...that isn't fair.



    You should go out with a girl who likes you in the after party, and show your girlfriend whats up and to not play you like that. Show her your man dawgHow can I convence my girlfriend not to go to prom with another guy?
    Depends...what did you get suspended for?
    If she was a girlfriend worth hanging onto she wouldnt put you in this position, she'd just automatically go with her girlfriends, id say ditch her.
    Well to be honest... She clearly can't be trusted if she's going to a prom with someone who isn't even her boyfriend.



    Plus, if you can't trust her then you're not in a good relationship.

    Relationships require trust.
    You have got to trust her, showing her you dont trust her is just going to push her futher away, possibly towards this other guy!

    Tell her she can go with whoever she likes, and wish her a good time, and just TRUST her!

    If anything does happen and you find out you cant trust her, she obviously wasnt worth it to start with!

    xXx
    i have the same kinda problem my gf went with another guy and shes never done the same stuff we used to do like just lie on the ground and talk and if i try that she gets really or cured.



    my best advice

    give her a kiss before she goes or walk/drive with her to the prom and tell her you love her.

    that all i can say man

    good luck
    tell her u will leave her if she goes with anouther guy.
    this is like saying its a test

    let her go

    if she tells you about a fantastic guy

    and the stuff she did, with another guy

    its automatically tells you she was never worth it from the very start
    She shouldn't be punished and miss her prom just because you got your butt in trouble. Plus, if you don't trust her, you need to break things off...trust is the cornerstone for ANY relationship.
    If you don't trust her then why are you with her? If she wants to go to a prom with another guy, then why is she your girlfriend? If you can't stay out of trouble to make sure you are her date for these important memories proms are made of.......then you will just have to make sure they have condoms available. She aint going with her girlfriends cuz she don't have to!!
    if you do, she will think you dont trust you and dump you just say 'promise you'll always like/love me?' or 'please go with your friends instead!' it might work but dont blame me if ya get dumped..............
    tell her you are not comfortable with that guy. pretty lame position you are in. it is often the guy with the crush that acts nice. either way dont let the drama get to you.
    even though you got suspended does not give her the right to go with another guy. to me i call that cheating. i feel that you must stand by your man or women no matter what he or she did. it seems to me that she does not love you as much as you love her. i would give her a choice she can go with him and you leave her. or not go and you stay with her. i hope everything works out
    this might sound silly but this stuff works, change the program that you used on her. like, if you guys used to talk on the phone for half an hour, this time make it 10 minutes. pretend to be busy, don't spend lot of time on your girlfriend, let her know that you have alot of things to do.



    another thing you can do is to suggest competition. let her suspect that you're going out with another girl, even if you really not. It makes you more attractive to her and she knows she will have to work hard to get you again. Have names and numbers of other girls popping out of your wallet (when paying for yourself of course, not her:) or have them laying around in your house/apartment/car, don't be desperate for her. don't be available at all times when she ask you out, be slightly unpredictable in your actions.



    PUT A PRICE ON YOURSELF:

    well, if she really going out another dude to a prom, SHOW YOUR ANGER. Guys who never get mad, who never show that they will stand up for themselves and make a woman feel a bit of unpleasantness are, in effect, giving themselves away for free! Let your girlfriend know that if she break your rules, cross you, or show any lack of respect, SHE IS GOING TO PAY A PRICE!

    Be willing to withdraw your time and attention and be unavailable.



    A. Now and again, cancel dates.

    B. Don't always return her phone calls promptly

    C. On occasion, and especially in the beginning, GET OFF THE PHONE FIRST!! Don't have unlimited time or willingness to talk!



    and the last thing you can do is to SHOW A WILLINGNESS TO WALK AWAY. Understand that when you show this willingness to walk away, in any area of your life, it conveys the message that you are the prize to be pursued, that you are the person of value, and they had better take advantage of the opportunity. This is an attitude that will move you forward in any area that's challenging you. By way of contrast, if you show a non-stop, forever and ever devotion to her, and put up with her crap and ambivalence, then where is that tension of knowing she could lose you? Answer: nowhere! And that's why you get nowhere when you put up with this kind of stuff! If you've seen an initially hot relationship grow ice-cold, this is one big reason.



    I hope this help. PM me if you want.

    you say you think that that boy loves her more than you......even though i cant go cant you think of me and hang with your friends
