Feeling Weird

[Chiggers]

I'm now 38 and since 12yo I've been feeling absolutely exhausted. Been o many GPs over the years and every one of them have ordered all the blood tests you could imagine. All results have come back normal. Since last year, I've been feeling weak, as in barely able to stand weak. I'm currently feeling very lightheaded/faint and have been since the middle of last year.

Again, I've spoken to my GPs about this and again, any bloods have come back as normal. I'm now too tired to eat and just want to sleep all the time. I have also tried taking a good vitamin and mineral suppliment (Centrum etc) for over 20 weeks and nothing has helped. My diet has gone from 6+ portions of fruit and veg a day, alongside chicken/fish and the odd bit of red meat to virtually nothing but the multivitamins and minerals.

Can anyone help me try and find out what is going on.

All replies appreciated. TIA

I am anxious about wasting the GP's time. Time that could be used tending to more needy patients. I'm anxious about possibly needing to take more medication than I'm already on, and the side effects. I'm anxious about talking to the GP. I hate going to the GP for anything. I've got to the point where I'm incredibly stressed about going to see the GP, and so I put off going for as long s possible.

I'm sorry chiggers. Only other thing I half heartedly wondered is Addison's? But it does sound like ME :(

Am feeling slightly different today. Don't know if this is subsiding, but I managed to get the grass cut today. I'm absolutely shattered now after cutting grass, brushing up afterwards and hovering up the grass that has been trailed through the house (not much luckily).

I'm now left feeling like I've been hit by a truck. I literally feel like I've been hit by a truck. DH says I should be feeling that bad and has said that I need to speak to a Dr about how I've been feeling (I eventually told DH everything, although that was very hard to do), so I told him that all the blood tests (KFT, LFT, FBC and all) have been done and they have all come back within normal range.

I do, on the odd occasion, get minute spikes of energy where I can use them to my advantage and get housework etc done. But, when I finish, I feel like I've been walloped with a dozen cricket bats. It feels like whole-body painful bruising IYSWIM. Add to that, dizziness, feeling very light-headed and detached from my body (like I'm watching my life unfold, but from my own eyes IYSWIM). I'm just about ready for the knackers yard

Research pacing OP. It'll help.

Yes, I've been through a year of trying to handle this kind of thing due to other factors. I couldn't get my head round pacing and still fuck it up by over doing it.

Look up pacing and ME or cfs, and also spoon theory. I found a physio who had worked in cfs clinic very helpful to describe how to do this but also setting goals.

Haven't read the thread but I have a milk allergy. If I've had milk or milk products I feel exhausted. Dizzy when I stand, aching muscles, very lethargic.

Just wondering whether it could be dietary?
