So, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or if I'm just being delusional and there's nothing wrong.
Since the end of last year I have found that I will just hit a wall and suddenly have no more energy, and the next day I wake up and am just wading through treacle to do anything (I won't get any housework done, and tea will just be from the freezer, we won't go to the park) and I'm just exhausted and literally fall asleep on the sofa without trying to, everything will be sore and more often than not I'll feel like I'm getting a heavy cold and have a bad sore throat - then after a day or two like that I'll be back to normal (providing I don't push myself too much during that time). I also get regular headaches/migraines, my memory is shot (I can literally be butter bread for a sandwich and forget what I'm doing), and I fluctuate between diarrhoea and constipation (sorry tmi). I get a good 7 hours sleep a night, unbroken, but still wake up and feel like I've not slept a wink.
I have been to the doctors and they have run blood tests and everything has come back within range (and on the higher end of in range), and there's no obvious physical causes. The nurse has basically told me that it's age (I'm 29) and that I have children - I have tried to explain that it is a completely different kind of tiredness/exhaustion and that sleeping more doesn't really help. So, I'm just wondering if I'm losing the plot and it is just because I'm getting older and have kids, or could it be anything wrong? Tia x
For back story, I'm slightly overweight, but I've always been an active person - I always used to do at least one session of good exercise a day (HIIT, Running, Indoor Bike, Swimming), which I am finding hard to do now as it knocks me out for the next day. My diet is good and varied, and I've always (Up til now) made food from scratch with fresh veg/meat/etc. And this has all just come on very suddenly - 6 months ago I was still very active and full of energy and up for anything, but now I have to consider what I'm doing carefully as to whether or not it will have an impact on the next couple of days.
