I am thinking about seeing the GP but would appreciate input in case it is so obvious what is wrong and so I don't make a fool of myself at the surgery.

Me - female, age 39 years.

Problem - almost constant tiredness which I have had for years. Some nights I find it hard to drop off and don't wake up rested, sometimes due to very vivid dreams. Weight gain of 1 stone since my baby was 2 months old (almost 6 years ago) and the same few pounds coming off and going on no matter what I do.

Blood pressure - very low.

Blood glucose - okay.

Blood tests for thyroid - normal according to GP, not bothered that two tests were done in 10 days making one normal and one a problem.

I also have migraines and fibromyalgia.

I am on duloxetine and amitryptaline as well as taking some vitamins.

I don't drink or smoke.

Whenever I have had blood tests they have always come back normal.

Ask your gps about ADs in low doses. I think it's a bit out of fashion now, but they "act like magic on nerve pain" - my own gp said that. Got to be low doses though, not enough to get the AD effect taking over.
