Fatigue Issues

[StuDM]

Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing quite significant fatigue that seems to be getting worse and is severely affecting day to day activities. I thought that it was related to seasonal allergies but have been provided treatment for that and am not sneezing or having the watery eyes that are usually associated with this time of year so I'm starting to think that it's a different phenomenon.

What's strange is that I feel like I constantly want to close my eyes and lie down and yet I still often have plenty of energy in my body and will often want to shake my legs or tap my feet while lying down to expel some of this energy. It's almost like my head wants to rest while the rest of my body still wants to be active. Additionally, I often notice myself being pale or slightly light-headed when I stand up from a lying state and that this might be associated with anemia instead of allergies or depression, is anyone else experiencing symptoms of this type?

Hi StuDM,

I feel all those symptoms must be confusing, worrying and disorienting. As you said, you often feel mentally drained, but physically, you’re full of energy...I feel for you...

Sorry, I don’t think that I’ve experienced anything like what you’re describing. I wonder, have you seen a GP recently to rule out and/or explore various possible causes: physical and/or psychological?

I hope that’s okay for me to ask...

Kind and caring thoughts to you,

Pepper
