Im going to go to the GP next week but I'm curious to know what mumsnetters think as you lot tend to point in the right direction.
Im 36, exhausted all the time (have 2 young children so don't sleep but its bone shattering exhaustion not just tiredness), extremely dry skin on my where it cracks the whole time, weigh gain and an inability to loose weight, increased thirst and I need to go to the loo frequently. Initially I thought this was because I'm still breastfeeding and that makes me thirsty but I must be drinking 3-4 litres of fluid a day and the baby only has 3-4 small feeds now. I'm also feeling a bit depressed but that's explainable by life circumstances. My periods are heavy and clot, a lot.
I went to gp a few months ago and diagnosed with folate defincinency, iron deficiency and vitamin d deficiency. I've been on tablets for those since. Initially they made a big difference but now I'm back to feeling awful even though I'm still taking them. I'm due a repeat blood test for these.
