Hi, I just came across you're forums, and I thought I would ask yall's opinion.
I have had persistent mild fatigue for somewhere in the area of 6 years, in the past 6 months to a year however it has slowly escalated.
The first symptom I had was basically just trouble running. I've played rugby since I was 8, so I have a very good idea of how much I can run. I used to run a minimum of 2 miles per day usually 3-5...
I haven't run in almost 3 months due to incredibly fast muscle fatigue. I have noticed the same in my arms. To be honest I doubt I could run an entire mile without walking a good distance right now.
I went to my doctor, he said it might be Exercise induced athsma, and lack of oxygenation was causing the problems. I was on singulair and then albuterol, neither one helped. Albuterol actually made it worse, because my heart was beating like a jack rabbit.
I thought the fatigue was possibly caused by depression, and a psychiatrist put me on prozack for 7 weeks. This made me feel a little better, but the fatigue was still there. I definitely have depression, but I believe it to be an effect not a cause.
My symptoms I think are relevant include (summary):
-PerioRAB of a few weeks where I have headaches almost every night, sometimes bordering on excruciating, they've caused me to vomit more than once
-This sounRAB weird, but when I'm hungry now I get absolutely ravenous, I don't know when this started but I feel weak and shaky when I don't eat within an hour or 2 of feeling hungry.
-Horrible heartburn, varying from annoying to very painful, even my saliva tastes acidic during this!
-Very brief perioRAB of blurred vision
-Persistent, Worsening Fatigue
-Muscle Weakness
-Coughing and headaches following exercise lasting up to 72 hours
-Severe insomnia (2-3 hours without sleep after laying down, this is being treated with lunesta, which has worked fantastically!)
-Mind "fogginess," also escalating
-Shortness of breath
Probably non-relevant symptoms:
-Painful sores on inner thigh, leaving very dark marks once gone (I think it's chafing), similar sores in clusters on the center of my chest (attaching a picture)
-Rare Joint Pain
-Ptosis (it's been there since I was born though)
-Sensitivity of scalp
-Excessive Thirst
-Pica
-I am a 20 year old male
-I weigh 195 pounRAB, at 5'6", definitely some fat but not a whole lot, I squat 630 pounRAB and bench 350, but I definitely have a little gut, not enough to be "obsese" though
-I have a severe vitamin D deficiency, it was 13ng/mL, it was 25 a month ago (he has me on 50,000 IU supplements twice a week)
-My blood pressure was 132/84 last time (I think that's what it was..around there)
-Until I stopped running I ran daily, I do quite a bit of physical activity at work and at home, I am at least fairly active. However now though, I have to exert effort to get up and brush my teeth
-My TSH is 2.98 which iirc is borderline hypo, but my doctor says it's fine
Any input is greatly appreciated, I will be scheduling a Dr appointment in a few weeks, I haven't told him a few things on this list for fear of sounding like a hypochondriac. The fatigue has actually affected my life significantly, it makes it very hard to get up in the morning!
