Any suggestions what might be wrong with me please. I do plan to go to the GP about this but wanted your thoughts.
I am late fifties, around three stone overweight. Generally reasonably healthy apart from this problem. I work in a full time job which is demanding and tiring but I don't feel accounts for how awful I often feel. I am five years post menopause, no HRT or anything.
I would say two thirds of the time I feel ok, maybe a bit tired. The other third of the time I get spells of 2 - 5 days where I am extraordinarily fatigued to the point that my body hurts, I get aches and pains throughout my body, brain fog, feel almost like I might pass out sometimes, feels like I am going down with flu kind of ill feeling. Body ache and pain interferes with sleep despite the overwhelming fatigue. I can just about get through my working day then have to go to bed in the evening. Any days off, when I feel like this, I can barely function and have to do the bare minimum and rest. This can last a few days then I go back to feeling ok-ish again, and repeat. This has been happening for a couple of years (yes I know I should have gone to the GP by now).
Any thoughts please.
