Hi,
I have been suffering for a long time with problems with tiredness and shakyness, also feeling overwhelmed and tearful regularly.
If I go out for a few hours it can take up to 48 hours for me to feel able to cope with daily life again-I feel so drained and tired, sometimes sick too and with headaches.
I am not yet 30-but have a below knee amputation, osteo arthritus and chronic fatigue syndrome. I suffer with chronic pain.I take a cocktail of meds and am wheelchair bound.
I am overweight.
Because there is so much going on for me healthwise we are unsure as to what it is exactly that is leaving me feeling so utterly unable to cope with daily life. I am not depressed.
So anyway (rant over lol) I had a chat with gp yesterday-the plan is to slightly adjust my meds to see if that helps. He did my blood sugars whilst I was there and told me I have a borderline blood sugar reading (but not the exact measurement) and I need to have a fasting test followed by a sugary drink and then another test two hours later. So I have this to look forward to on weds next week.
I am bricking it. really. I know its better to know but I just dont know how I will cope with yet another limitation in my life.
Im just ranting really. Thanks for taking the time to read this
