Whats going on with me...

[Pheebe]

Occasional hot flushes, extreme fatigue at least once a day (all energy drains away and I feel wobbly and shaky), lasts half an hour to an hour, can't seem to lose weight, craving carbs... I daren't google and will be seeing the doc next week but thought I'd canvas some opinion first just incase I'm just be a hypochodriacal lazy mare!

I'm no medical expert but perhaps it could be thyroid realted?

How old are you and how regular are your periods?

I wondered that too. Not sure what the symptoms are...not keen to go to google jsut yet though

Just turned 40 and everything is regular as clockwork.

thyroid would be my guess as well.

I'm going to go with perimenopausal then. Difficulty losing weight is common though - have you tried exercise?

Do the wobbles correlate to distance between mealtimes? Are you eating protein with carbs at every meal? Have you had a diabetes check recently?

whomoved that would be a kick in the teeth, thought I;d have another few years before that kicked in. Exercise, healthy eating etc yep, nothing works like it used to

DH suggested diabetes too but I haven't noticed any pattern wrt meals
