Hi all
Hope everyone is well and in range!
Since my diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in February I have been feeling pretty unwell. Very unwell really. I was diagnosed off the back of DKA and in hospital for a week and a half so as you can imagine, for a long time I (and others) put it down to a slow recovery. It was also discovered that I had very low vitamin D which I have taken super strong tablets to address.
However, my excellent GP (who does radical things like listen to me) thinks that I may have CFS. Having read about the symptoms it seems to fit. At aged 34, I'm naturally hoping this isn't the case (not that I'm suggesting it would be welcome at any age).
I have read that there is a connection between T1 diabetes and CFS as both are autoimmune conditions (I have another, too, called vitaligo).
Just thought it was worth checking in to see if there are any other sufferers here and if anyone could give me any tips.
Of course, still hopeful it turns out to be something else
Thanks all!
