Hi folks,
I’m not one for asking strangers on the internet what I should do (but grateful for those who do as I’m more of a lurker than a poster) however I need a bit of advice and there’s nothing quite like MN to let you know if you’re being a head case or not.
I’m late 30s, single, self employed parent who works a lot. I’m also rather short for my weight. Over the last while I’ve had lingering issues with my health that I don’t know what to do about. I visited my GP due to constant and quite awful fatigue, tingling hands and feet, constantly being freezing cold, losing grip of things where my hands basically chucked whatever was in them at the time. Intermittent slurry speech and generally just being exhausted. Bloods showed nothing too exciting, examination showed low blood pressure that didn’t worry anyone, I was advised to carry on with folic acid supplements and the rest has been put down to migraine phenomenon - I’ve been a sufferer since early teens.
I made some lifestyle changes, increased vitamins, cut out sugary drinks and tried to do better with sleep but things are getting worse - my whole body hurts & I mean my whole body from my scalp to the very soles of my feet, my bum cheeks even! My back, legs.. you get the picture. I’m on my feet all day every day, I have never been in this level of pain before. I’m also going dizzy at times.
AIBU to go back to the GP with this sorry list of woes and ask for help or am I moaning for nothing?
I have no medical anxiety, I’m just fed up of being tired and sore.
thanks for reading
