What on earth is this fatigue?

[boymama82]

Hi all,

I'm 41 with 2 little boys who are 2 and 3. I'm usually energetic and active but for the past 3 weeks I've had debilitating fatigue, I'm just sleeping wherever possible but never ever feel rested.

When my boys are at nursery I'd usually go a long walk/hike and do some housework, now I just go to bed.

I don't have any other symptoms but this tiredness is killing me, any ideas please?

Low hb/iron? I'd request some blood tests.

Have you had your vit D levels checked?

Could it be long Covid?

Go to the GP ask for for blood tests due to unexplained tiredness.

My DH is having problems with his heart, similar symptoms. You are young to have this. After the simple checks for vitamins and trace elements do mention heart and Atrial Fib. Doctors will not think it likely because of age.

Get your thyroid checked too.

Did u have Covid about 8 weeks ago? Get your antibodies checked.

Thanks all, I had covid around 2 years ago but haven't tested this time. I'm having bloods at 9am tomorrow 👍

Pregnant?

@boymama82 Hello, I’ve just posted a similar thread and same age as you. Did you ever find an answer?

No I didn't get any answers and feel worse than ever! Had bloods and stool sample done, all normal, I've got diarrhoea for 2 days every week and feel terrible

Peri menopause is a possible cause

So sorry @boymama82 it’s just crap isn’t it

When you had your bloods done, did they check your thyroid?

Could it be coeliac disease?

How are u now please what waz it after

A virus.

Ooohh l had very similar. Turned out it was cryptosporidium.
