Hi, I started to feel unwell just over two weeks. It started with my legs feeling tired and heavy like I’d ran a marathon or something. The next day it progressed to my arms and shoulders too. I’ve been exhausted and struggling to move from couch to kitchen without being exhausted. My head is pounding and I can hear my heartbeat whoosh and pound in my head. Sleeping most of the day and short of breath if I do anything. For example emptying the tumble dryer had me so done in. GP thought covid at first and told me to stop a few meds that I take (painkillers and BP meds). After over a week She prescribed antibiotics and painkillers but I’m 3 days in and feeling just as awful. I’ve also now had two episodes where my faeces was almost black. I’m just looking for ideas? I’m going to call GP on Monday but I’m just feeling so awful I want it to stop. I can barely look after the kids as I’m just sleeping on the sofa all day and my daughter is doing the cooking.
