Hello, I posted this in the thyroid section as I believe I could be hypothyroid, but I wanted to post here too to see what other causes people think could be possible. I have had many tests done and nothing serious was found, I just recently decided to go to see a private doctor and typed up all my problems in a letter for him, this is it:
"About 5 and a half years ago I suddenly became extremely fatigued. I was soon unable to go to school and spent all of my time resting and sleeping long hours. The symptoms included:
Constant physical and mental fatigue.
Inability to fall asleep, un-refreshing sleep, incredibly easily disturbed whilst asleep.
Extremely poor immune system (I continually got long colds despite rarely going outside)
Intolerance to heat, I had always been abnormally intolerant to heat, and comfortable in far colder conditions then others. But I became FAR more intolerant when I became fatigued, which has led me to believe I may have had an underline medical problem from a young age.
I developed dark purple colouration on the skin under my eyes.
(I am unsure if this is significant, but I also noticed at some point during the illness that urination and bowel movements increased dramatically and continues to this day.)
I think this happened shortly after a virus; however I am unsure as it was quite some time ago. My Doctor did some tests for various causes, when examining I was told multiple times I had swollen glands under my chin. I was also told my white blood cell count was slightly below normal. Nothing serious was found and I was told I had Chronic Fatigue.
This chronic fatigue continued for 4 and a half years, the entire time the illness was severely dehabilitating, I was constantly physically and mentally exhausted at all times. I found it impossible to fall asleep, when I finally did I found it very hard to get up the next day and spent most of the day in bed. I really feel my problems weren
