Hi I am at the end of my tether, I said to DP this morning that I cannot face living like this any longer.
I have long-term arthritis, psoriasis, long-term sinusitis. Arthritis and sinusitis make me feel very ill on occasion. I could constantly be on antibiotics as sinuses/ upper chest is always productive(sorry, TMI) Fighting the pain is always part if my life. I take meds and supplements, would do anything to sort my health.
I eat healthily and am reasonably active though I don't exercise as such.
I work with young children, it's tiring and demanding and quite isolating, though I have an active social life and a fabulous family.
I get SO tired, I pick up every virus from the children, I find I rocket between being ok, I work, cook , garden, socialise, sleep 7 hours.
Then I collapse, can't do anything but function, work, eat a little then go to bed, sleep around the clock, work, eat a little then go to bed, sleep around the clock, and so on.
I went to the doctors last week and they did blood tests, which have come back clear. I should be glad but I am devastated. What the hell is wrong with me? I did some reading and realise I have all these symptoms but blood tests say no.
Symptoms of underactive thyroid can include:
extreme tiredness
weight gain, but with a poor appetite
feeling the cold easily
dry and/or pale skin
coarse, thinning hair and brittle nails
weak and sore muscles
puffy eyes
memory loss and poor concentration
constipation
heavy, irregular or prolonged menstrual periods, if you’re a woman
tingling in your hands and arms
depression
poor sex drive
slow heart rate
If you haven't passed out through boredom, has any one got any ideas or experience or, hopefully, advice?
