Doctors Tomorrow Or Sit And Hope?!

[DanJARMouse]

I have been feeling like shit for months and months.... possibly years.

Main complaints are :

Severe tiredness.... for example I could sleep until 10-11am, go back to bed at 1pm, sleep til 3pm, and be in bed at 11pm, but STILL be knackered. Usual sleep pattern is 11.30pm - 8am and 1-3pm nap. I never feel "refreshed" or "raring to go"

Aches.... I ache all over, constantly. I get to the stage where I hurt to be touched. DH or DCs could give me a squishy hug and I would be sore.

Noise Intolerance..... this is a really stupid one but one I cant deal with. I really cannot deal with noise over normal talking levels. The kids shouting/screaming/playing loudly leaves me covering my ears wanting to cry. I just cant seem to cope with it.

On the whole, I feel perfectly happy, life is good, its just the things above that are really starting to get to me. This week has been particularly bad, yet some weeks I can be ok.

I just dont know what, if anything, the doctor can do. Will things improve? What the hell do I say to the doctor if I do make an appointment?

but you wn't be sitting and hoping you will be sitting and worrying which isn't going to do you any good at all.

say just that above.

Thank you.

I think I should see someone, but as there isnt anything "physical" Im just not sure its worth it?

have you had your thyroid tested?

Tiredness and aches are physical though.

Make an appointment and just say what you've written here, hopefully they will be able to do something to help you.

Sorry my post wasn't very explanatory. Extreme tiredness and intolerance of noise can be symptoms of underactive thyroid.

Try making a list of all your symptoms and giving it to the doc. in case there's a pattern to be seen.

Thank you.

I will make an appointment.

Will update once I know more.

Yes I was going to suggest Fibromyalgia too, my mum has it and your symptoms sound very similar to hers. Go to doc and get checked out xx
