What the hell is happening!

[beggingbehind]

I'm not feeling well today, so after not knowing what's going on. I thought I'd ask for mumsnets pearls of wisdom.
So slept for a good 8 hrs last night normally perfect, but I'm feeling so tired not just me but my body is so tired aswell. I keep nodding of. I keep getting very hot, then very cold. My legs ache. My head feels 'heavy' -is that a thing. what the hell I going on! This dosent feel like flu. The 3 youngest DC are out with DH, oldest 2 are here occupying themselves here, so I'm not up and about doing things but when I try to its so hard. Don't know if it's related but I came in the monthly 2 days ago, but that's no diffrent. This dosent seem like something to worry a doctor about. Right, I'm of to make some chicken soup....

I think you might be poorly. I hope you feel better soon.

How are you feeling now?
Try and take your vitals like your temperature, heart rate and breathing rate - it'll give you an idea as to how serious any illness might be

Are you using tampons, Op?

Sorry, been falling asleep and then 3 youngest DC and DH came back! Oh I just feel worse. Can't find thermometer. Heart rates a tad fast. Nothing major. Yes I know I poorly but this feels diffrent from my poorly if that makes sense. Maybe I have man flu?

Do these match your symptoms? Only you mentioned you have your period and if you're using tampons (Faded asked thinking similarly I'm guessing) this would be something to check.

No don't use tampons, but TSS does match some of the symptoms, but I don't have a boil or anything like that and I think I would be more unwell by know.

Get your thyroid checked! Sounds very like symptoms of overactive thyroid ... heart racing, hot one minute, cold the next, heavy head , sweats etc
