For months now, I've been feeling incredibly tired, no oomph or inclination to do anything.
I do feel more and more depressed as time goes on, but I'm not sure if it's because I feel too tired to do anything.
I'm breathless.
My joints hurt.
I feel as though my neck is swollen at the front and the side.
I have a couple of small , painful lumps where my chest meets my armpit, which I think are lymph nodes. I had one on the same side in my jaw last year ( checked by gp ), which went away.
I had a hysterectomy a few years ago and I'm on hrt.
I have slightly high bp and I'm slightly overweight ( bmi 32).
Finding it difficult to loose weight.
Too tired to exercise plus everything hurts.
I've had my bloods checked several times. Not anaemic, not ferrarin or Vit D.
Tsh 2.85, no antibodies, so, not thyroid.
Any ideas ??

this is the leaflet ( I think - it looks a little different from memory but I guess re-design etc). www.ntw.nhs.uk/pic/leaflets/Anxiety%20A4%202016%20FINAL.pdf

Muffet sorry you're feeling rough and panicky. Of course I can't reassure you that everything's going to be okay, but t is really good news that you are being listened to and thoroughly investigated, even if it is utterly terrifying right now. One day and one test at a time. You are on the pathway to a proper diagnosis (or diagnoses!) which is much better than a diagnosis from the Mumsnet massive! I hope you get some results and reassurance soon. I know from my line of work that the waiting and uncertainty is extremely hard and you must be in a lonely and scary place right now. If you can, tell someone in real life how you are feeling so they can support you. Good luck, and un-mumsnetty hugs to you
