Just after a bit of advice. I'm a student, finishing last of my finals. Have had mental health issues on and off, was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder last year, but counselling helped. Was coping well,then my grandfather died in January. Been downhill since, self harm and suicidal thoughts. Am thinking about going back on anti depressants. But now I have physical stuff that I've never had before. An extreme exhaustion and muscle aches, especially my arms and legs. They ache, the backs of my legs and feet feel like muscle cramps are on the way, or like I've been doing lots of exercise. I do exercise, but can't do as much as I used to,and find basic stuff really hard. Yesterday I couldn't even lift the vacuum, today I just couldn't get up until the afternoon.my body was aching. I have cut the grass, but am paying for it now in aches. Last few months, have felt or being sick quite a lot- migraines and vomiting, fuzzy spells and vomiting in mornings. Not a chance I could be pregnant, as I'm not sexually active. None of my friends seem this exhausted, I'm after some advice really. Thanks.

Are you eating properly? If you're being sick a lot, you could be low in certain nutrients which could be contributing to your fatigue/muscle weakness.

You could have a virus; or you could have post-viral syndrome (google it).

What you really need to do is go to the doctor and tell them about your symptoms, preferably with a diary of when they happen, how long they last etc.

I eat fairly well, have a good appetite, just not in the mornings when I feel quite sick. It's mainly heaving, rather than actually being sick. When I get migraines is generally when I throw up. Those are new too. Thank you for the advice.

It sounds possibly autoimmune, maybe thyroid problem? Best bet is doc for some blood tests. Adrenal fatigue is also a possibility though harder to test / diagnose and docs seem to only recognise severe cases or Addison's disease.

Yeah i will go to the doctor.I woke up so late today, struggled to get up and then wanted to lie down this afternoon.I gave up in the end and dud because I couldn't even do a basic thing like putting the ironing away without being exhausted.

Could tou be pregnant?

Otherwise yes, have thtroid, iron, vitamin levels checked togwther with liver/kidney diabetes...standard raft of tests to rule out thw obvious.

Ah definately not pregnant. The tiredness and aches are the main th ukcom ng, really dragging me down because I have so much to do. I will book docs tomorrow, haven't had a chance yet.
