We are not invincible
Not taking your supplements is a bad idea and bad habit. But you won't feel run down the way you have without being wayyy behind. Vitamin deficiency just doesn't work that way.

THANK YOU!!!! I see this so often on here, how people get tingling if they miss a B12 sublingual, they're tired if they forget a multivitamin ... I wish some of our self appointed gurus (who people seem to trust) would put some truth out there on this now and then!
OP - unless you have not taken your vitamins and calcium for a looooong time, these symptoms are probably a flu or something. Deficiencies would take months or even years to get to a stage where you would be feeling these symptoms.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by life and it is have an impact on your physical health, I really encourage you to see a counselor/therapist. Months of missing vitamins might cause what you describe, but a few days? That is not how it works.
Please don't look for an easy Band-Aid response for a chronic broken bone issue.
While I am very glad you are determined to be on track with your vitamins from here on out, there is something bigger/deeper at work here.
Any chance you could be pregnant? You have the same overall complaints as I did in the early stages of my first trimester, especially the leg pain and sleeping!
Hugs to you!

Thanks Lora,
Its been a little over 4 months since I started work however I was only taking half of what the doctor recommended at that time an my blood work looked good in Augusts. Then in Sept I really just started sliding only taking my morning vitamins and since I really didn't notice any lows in energy I thought I was fine and didn't need to take all the amounts the dr said. I am due in June for blood work again. But I know that the lack of multi's and calcium and iron have taken a toll on me for the last four plus months. Cramps in my legs lethargic extremely tired.
