also worsening of joint pain and fatigue but no extra sleeping.

would love some advice from someone medically minded. I've been having these symptoms for 6 months. gp says thyroid is normal but didn't give tsh figure. I have been treated for vit d deficiency and I take thyroxine, I'm 43.

could this be the menopause? I had a blood test for menopause last year that came back ok.

Have you been checked out for diabetes? When DH had a series of boils, they kept checking him as its apparently a common symptom of type 2 diabetes

It is a bit young for menopause to be honest

thanks guys, yes, had repeated tests for diabetes as it runs in the family, must have had at least 9 tests now & all come back clear.
