Feeling ill later in the day

Is that stress related or some sort of post viral fatigue?

Every day about 4pm I start feeling like I am getting the flu. My limbs start to ache and head becomes all fuzzy. Like when you feel the begins of an illness.

The next day after sleep I feel ok again until about 3-4pm. It's bizarre.

I am 43. Blood tests were not deficient of iron. Its bizarre though.

Possible fibromyalgia maybe?

I crash every day at 2/3pm. But a couple of evenings a week I feel like death and can hardly function - I don't talk to anyone or do anything as I'm just completely floored.

I recently had bloods done - my iron was rock bottom and showed thyroid antibodies but seemingly normal thyroid function (debatable as I've now discovered!).

Have you had your thyroid checked?

Could it just be burn out? i get this this and i think it's just me crashing as it always happens when i'm a bit run down and busy, after work and when i'm trying to sort the kids out etc. It lifts once the kids are in bed and i actually get to flop. One thing recognising it, another entirely doing something about it!
