On Wednesday I felt far more tired than usual (work FT, 1 year old, exercise regularly, generally busy life) and found it hard to keep awake whilst working. By the time I dragged myself off to bed I was being quite clumsy. Baby had accidentally kicked me in the tummy earlier that evening which really hurt more than I thought it should have done and I had noticed while collecting him from nursery that my tummy was a bit achy.
Went to bed early and when I woke Thursday morning found that my head was seemingly about to fall off and I was having trouble speaking as it was just too much effort. Stayed home from work, took two ibuprofen and went back to bed. I slept for another FOUR HOURS. When I got up all I could do was shuffle about, barely enough energy to get dressed, no appetite, forced down a sandwich. Baby unusually difficult to put to bed so ended up laying down with him and basically stayed in bed from 7:30pm.
Much the same this morning - dizzy, headache, neck a bit stiff, bit disoriented, can't be bothered to speak and my tummy hurts. I had the baby by emcs just over a year ago, excellent and quick recovery don't think it can be related?
Also felt in the last couple of weeks that I've piled on weight, I stopped eating chocolate, cake, etc but doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I had a look at nhs direct symptom checker but I have symptoms from three different areas and there's no apparent way to put them all together.
I don't want to go to the doctor or call NHS direct, too much actual effort. Any similar experiences? I don't think flu or anything, temperature is low if anything.
