NEED SERIOUS ADVICE please!! What is my problem??

Hello I am having a serious problem ever since I was small but it has progressively gotten worse. The symptoms are as follows:





1. When I was about 14 years old I first noticed that I had to read things over and over just to be able to grasp them. This is especially bad the more technical the writing is. For instance, history and science are very difficult for me. Anything that explains details rather than just simple facts is very difficult for me to read. The following articles are very difficult for me:





1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/peptidoglyc鈥?/a>





2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/immunoglobu鈥?/a>





3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lateral_mal鈥?/a>





I felt sleepy and exhausted after two paragraphs from each article above. My brain turned into mishmash and I couldn't absorb any more information. I also tire very easily when jogging for more than 20 seconds or having to do any task at all, physical or mental, for more than a few minutes. Even reading novels that I like is so difficult.NEED SERIOUS ADVICE please!! What is my problem??
diet maybe.


sugars starches carbs and caffeine can leave your mind in a slow dazed stupor.





yup, fish (salmon) helps, I've noticed.





I'm in the same boat as you. I think we're maybe just bored with what we read. taking breaks does help.





sometimes I play a mind trick on myself and get myself all hyped up about needing to complete the reading task.





I start thinking about sparring and ninjitsu. About kicking (mental) *** in the class................





then I'm hooked, for at least 30 minutes = break timeNEED SERIOUS ADVICE please!! What is my problem??
This may sound dumb, but have you had your eyesight checked? Some of what you describe reminds me of myself - the eyestrain I was experiencing when reading was exhausting me - your muscles are working to focus your eyes and it tires you out. Since getting glasses, I can read without getting so tired. An eye exam is easy to find, doesn't hurt, and may point to something that could help (it wouldn't explain your fatigue when running though).
If you were able to get into medical school it sounds like you have done pretty well for yourself thus far. I would get your visiual perception checked out by a developmental optometrist - there aren't many around but they can check out your visual tracking and visual sequencing and give you ideas about how to make your visual integration better. Who knows, you might even get yourself a label and then get to take as much time on tests as you need to. Good luck.
I don't think that this is any kind of illness. I think that this is just a lack of something your body needs. Have you ever gotten tested for diabetes? Since you write very well do i not think that you do not grasp the things you read up on, what I think is that you are too tired too fast to be able to put more info into your brain and therefore you think you don't grasp it.


Natural medicine offers great stuff for such things, but I would still say, go to a good doctor and have yourself tested for diabetes and lupus. Good luck
is this a test?


I mean, since you're starting medical school soon.





How on earth could you start medical school in the condition you suggest? You won't make it unless you're in good shape. I'm thinking your physical problem has to do with stress. And I don't understand why you would choose such a demanding career knowing you're always exhausted. If the reason you chose that career was to find out what's wrong with you then that was a mistake.





Why not just go to your doctor and have the usual tests done and also see what nutrition you're lacking.
There is a pill called ';FOCUS';. You can find it at GNC...





It is a fish oil pill and works fabulously!!
go see a doctor
I would see a neuro doctor about this one. Only he would be able to do the right tests to see what is going on.
no your not dumb.i think your absorbing everything you read too well .Just let it flow dont be concentrating on every word take it easy!


I get tired when im sprinting quickly too!


Maybe your just paranoid?


Just chill!
well at first i thought it could be dyslexia...since you said you had to read things over and over, but from the other things you have experienced, i doubt that it is to blame for your other problems...go to your doctor, and ask if he\she could refer you to another doctor that could help you with your problem.
Umm, well you have probably already tried this, but I would suggest to go talk to a doctor about all of this. Take breaks between working, for example after 30 min of study take a 10 min break. you will be able to get a lot more done that way. Make sure to watch your diet too and mix up your workout. DOnt do teh same thing every day.
maybe ur dyslexic?
