Tired

[kingharold11]

This is nothing new and certainly I am not by myself but I get so tired these days.I want to walk for the exercise and weight control (i only walk for 50 minutes at a time) but some days when I get home I am wiped out . I don't walk every day I can't.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you're still feeling so fatigued. I know we discussed this a while ago, and I mentioned to the old adrenal glands scenario. As I said mIne took ages to get going again - about a year if I remember rightly.

Have you done anything about getting a Synacthen test, or had blood tested for any other illnesses? Thyroid? If you don't seem to be getting any better, think you need to stir the GP up to look at other reasons! That's what they're there for after all!

Take care.

I have no faith in the GP's at the surgery ( I have been on the books at all the local surgeries) I will be seeing my rheumy in a few weeks I will see what he has to say I trust him more than the GP's

Have you tried doing 2 x 25mins? Has exactly the same benefit as doing it all in one but you recover more easily.

I exercise a bit before I go to work and use some light weights
