Anyone hazard a diagnosis? Wide and weird range of low level symptoms, feeling pretty rubbish.

I keep waiting for this to pass, but it's been about 6 weeks now. I have occasional balance issues with a spot of dizziness. I feel really weak and wibbly, like someone has sucked my bones out of my body. I tried to mow the lawn yesterday and had to stop and sit down every 10 minutes or so to recover. This is normal for any kind of exertion now, I have no energy whatsoever. My vision feels a bit odd now and then too, like it's not quite keeping up with my eye movements IYKWIM.

I had a nasty cold a month or so back, I suffer from hayfever, and have a history of low ferritin which I'm currently getting checked out again. Anything else I could get investigated? Fed up of feeling so rubbish when the weather is so nice, just want to get out and enjoy but can't find the energy Sad

I went to the GP because i was feeling ridiculously weak, particularly my arms, bloods came back with Vitamin D deficiency. I was prescribed a 6 month course of Vitamin D as the GP said my level was pretty low (16).

Have you told GP about the dizziness and balance?.

I feel like that when I'm anaemic, perhaps you need to get iron levels checked again.

Sounds like anaemia to me too - get haem and ferritin levels checked and you're you feel better soon

Think you could do with having some blood tests done to see if a thyroid gland imbalance is the root cause of your symptoms. The low ferritin, balance problems and problems with vision can all be potentially linked to the thyroid gland.

Agree - Ferritin levels could also question magnesium levels
