have you been to the doctor and had you're thyroid checked? I reckon get a blood test as it could be something you aren't aware of. I suffered from feeling like that and turned out I had Toxoplasmosis from planting up my herb garden (its in the potting mix)
I was sick for six months with a 2 year old and six month old baby, NOT fun!
Good luck!

I would defintely suggest a trip to the doctor to rule out any medical issues. I can get like that if I am having too much sugary foods and not enough water and exercise. Also I find that if I am staying in the house a lot I can feel really lethargic, I make myself get outside and into the fresh air.

But definately see a doctor as I am sure they will have loads of advice and suggestions for you.:thumbsup:

Do you have a juicer?

I find that I have weaned myself off coffee that I used to NEED and now drink fresh juices that really help my energy levels (esp while Im Pg). They are full of vitamins... and are quickly absorbed into the blood stream as they are in liquid format and dont have to go through your digestive system to be broken down you can feel the results almost straight away.

A good juice for energy is...

A mixture of 1/4 pineapple, 2 greens apples, 1/4 lemon and some fresh mint.
(makes 2 or 3 glasses of juice)

Could be worth a try for you?

ETA - fresh juices retain all their goodness and have no preservatives or anything bad so its all just good for your body. Im addicted!
