Can anybody help me I have been feeling very tired now for 6 weeks +, can sleep for 12 hours wake for 2 then sleep another 12and still not feeling refreshed,get exhausted with everyday activities mentally and physically.I am suffering with muscle pain all over my body especially my legs,find it painfull and exhausting just walking for a few minutes. Cognative brain function is decreased and suffer with headaches I never experienced that last for several weeks, abdominal pain nausea, confusion and brain fog. Anxiety levels and panic attacks are debilitating with feelings of depression? Doctor put me on anti-depressants but this hasn't helped. I am putting on weight hypersensitive to light loud noises and strong smelling foods. I don't feel the same lively energetic hard-working person I once was

Have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? chronic fatigue is part of fibromyalgia which your symptoms sound like to me.Could you ask your Dr to refer you to the Hospital to get a diagnosis?

Hi Sharon,

It does sound as though you're going to join the Fibro family!

As Amanda says, it would be better if your doctor did some investigations, or referred you to the hospital to exclude any other pathology, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Perhaps you could make a list of all your symptoms, and take it along to your GP. Don't be put off by "It's only fibro". Insist on some proper investigations, blood tests, etc., and a referral to a rheumatologist of neurologist.

If a diagnosis of fibromyalgia is made, we have lots of help for you here. You should be able to live a fairly normal life, tho' probably at a slower pace than you had anticipated! :)

Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on!
