PAWS symptoms??

I've been sober for 13 months but am extremely tired and joints are very sore especially knees. I get 7 hours sleep a night and walk average of 15,000 steps a day - so just wondered if this sounds like PAWS?

I am a recovering alcoholic.

I too suffer from joint pain but I am overweight and post menopausal and it is arthritic pain from wear and tear on the joints. I’ve heard of PAWS but what I’ve read tended to be about mental / emotional issues rather than physical - although fatigue is mentioned. Have you had your thyroid checked?

I'm also in recovery but have never heard of PAWS just had to Google!

Don't think they're related theres so many things that could cause fatigue and sore joints so I'd book a GP appointment if I were you to get checked for iron etc and go from there.
