I’ve had so many tests and nothing has shown up but something is wrong. I’ve had my blood checked for multiple things including anaemia, thyroid issues , coeliac screen and other things every thing was normal.
I’ve had my hormone levels checked many many times as I thought perhaps it was perimenopause related but everything is showing good/normal and cycles still every 28 days.
I don’t have any deficiencies but take supplements for health anyway. I have a very healthy diet and BMI etc. I always exercised till this happened to me and now I can’t at all. It’s been 18 months of total exhaustion. Constant waking at night and I go back to sleep quickly but I just keep waking?? Wake up exhausted in the morning and can’t get up, struggle to force myself to eat as the cutlery is too heavy. Had to give up work a year ago as can’t think properly anymore.
One odd symptom that I’ve had is mind reversal - this whole time I will go to do something back to front eg open the cupboard the opposite side to the bin cupboard to throw something away. I’ll go to switch a light on but on the other side of the door to where it actually is, I’ll try to open a door with a handle that’s actually on the other side. If I make a drink I’ll pick up the cup to put back in the fridge not the milk. I’ll go to use the hot tap and use the cold and vice versa it’s like everything has got reversed in my brain ?
The only thing that I can pinpoint happening 19 months ago before this started was I had a very bad throat and sinus infection and it made me very tired and I never felt I fully recovered from that but it was treated with amoxicillin and wasn’t horrendously bad just very bad.
The gp is now saying we need to go down the psychological route but this isn’t in my mind it feels like illness not stress? Are there any possible things they’ve missed it tests I should ask for ? Should I save to see a neurologist privately ? AIBU to worry so much?
