Afternoon all, I'm looking for advice as my doctor has drawn a blank. I have a history of over doing it work wise (bit of a stresshead) but recently have been feeling really rough and it doesn't appear to be linked to work stress. I started to feel a bit ropey around christmas-natural for most mums so I didn't think much of it then. I was getting what felt like a rush of adrenaline, panicky feelings but completely out of the blue, I've had anxiety/depression/panic attacks in the past but it was always the result of me charging around like a headless chicken over doing it etc. What I feel like now on an almost constant basis is completely wiped out, like early pregnancy/flu tiredness (I'm not;-)) I sleep really well but have to drag myself out of bed each morning, I'm having regular episodes of that adrenaline buzz worse on my days off weirdly, mild almost constant headaches, nausea-I'm having to force myself to eat some days and aching from head to toe. Doctor had done bloods and 2 24 hour urine tests-nothing to find at all. I know it could be stress but having been there before this doesn't feel the same, it really feels physical.
Does this ring any bells with anyone??
Cheers

Doctors are very good at saying it's not thyroid when actually it is. This is because many of them know very little about it, despite the fact that it is so common.

Did you have your thyroid tested? Can you get a copy of your results (GP cannot withhold them as they are your data under the Data Protection Act) and post them here with the lab ranges, and the thyroidians will pick over them for you.

Not being able to get warm is classic thyroid, as I expect you know.

Lurking with interest as I've had a lingering lurgy since January with some similar (but not the same) symptoms. I have to say, from what I have googled, yours does sound remarkably like thyroid issues. Have you actually taken your temperature to find out whether your core body temperature is lowered? I believe that is a classic thyroid warning sign.
