Posted: 17:39 - 22 Feb 2008 Post subject: Tiredness/fuzzy head/shaky |
|
|
Hi, im after a bit of advice...
For the last couple of months ive felt tired (no matter how much sleep i get), ive had a fuzzy head and have been slightly shaky.
This last week its got a lot worse, to the point where i dont want to do anything but sleep, and pretty much feel incapable
Ive been to the doc, but to be honest he wasnt much use, im booked in for a blood test on tuesday to check for diabetes but im not convined thats the problem....
Im getting desperate now, im sick and tired of walking around feeling like im hungover, so has anyone felt anything similar??
Cheers, nick |

Hi mate
I do suffer from low moods occasionaly, my diet hasnt changed.
I was drinking quite a lot of coke i suppose, but these feelings came on before i cut down a lot, although im wondering if thats something to do with it. Its crazy really because i was trying to tell the doc how im feeling and its difficult put it into words, especially as one of my symptons is total brain shutdown
Im just not as sharp as usual, im usually quite articulate but now i struggle, and riding the bike is a nightmare, its like im drugged up.
How do you manage with it? Ive tried resting, exercise, lots of sleep etc etc and nothing i do makes me feel any better |

Agreed, a blood test should help narrow down the possiblities, though my immediate thoughts were diabetes but thats usually accompanied by frequent urination and unquenchable thirst, but perhaps not always....
Possibly chronic fatigue syndrome??
Keep pressin the doc for answers as this is obviously affecting your livelihood, and cant be good to be riding a bike in that state of mind either.
Good luck,

I think that the blood tests is the way to go; last June I had a headache that basically lasted 9 weeks. It was horrid and was made worse by my commute, I had the tests for anemia, diabetes etc... It turned out to be an odd cholesterol problem, though my cholesterol is a healthy 4.2 the breakdown of "good" to "bad" cholesterol was out of balance. It didn't help that every piece of advice the doctor gave I was already doing: not smoking, not drinking to excess, eating a balanced diet, taking regular exercise etc... but it did give me "peace of mind" and something to research. The headache is sort of still there but it's definitely eased, I hope your diagnosis is as straightforward. ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

Sounds like something I had a few years back. In fact, it must have been 4 years ago because I recall basically watching all of the last Olympics because I was too tired to do anything else!
There was a nasty virus going round, I got it but then couldn't shake it, and I was left feeling tired, a bit nauseous, occassionally shaky and occasionally dizzy but basically with no energy at all. Went to the doctor about it a few times, they took blood tests, found nothing, and in the end concluded that it must be post viral fatigue syndrome (not quite as bad as chronic but the same type of thing). Which basically means the doctor says 'can't do anything, you'll just have to wait for it to go away'. So I waited, and it wouldn't go away. I also started to get a bit depressed, and started to worry a lot about small things. I decided I didn't want to keep 'just waiting' so did a bit of net research and decided to try some alternative options. I got some chinese medicine made up - bag of weird bits and pieces which I brewed into tea. I made up one cup and only drank 1/4 of it because it tasted so vile. However I felt better than I had in ages the next day, so there might have been something to it, but it was too unpleasant for me to take.
In the end I went to a herbalist. She made me up a tincture to take, and - be it real effect or mentally induced - that was what fixed me.
The whole thing was not a fun experience.. I think it must have lasted nearly 6 months, and although I was still OK to go to work (I worked as an usher in a theatre at that time) it was a struggle a lot of the time, I just felt rubbish, no energy, depressed, anxious, cried very easily. But it did go away I still have to watch and not exhaust myself too much, and every now and then I still get a lingering bit of anxiety over very little which I never used to have, but it did go. Hopefully it's something more medically fixable that you have, but if it is something fatigue-syndrome-like I would recommend trying some alternative options... ____________________ "The problem with the French is they have no word for 'entrepreneur' " George W Bush

Me too Nick, I always ask if I can lie down, as if I don't I tend to fall down. Years ago a very forthright nurse told me I was worrying about nothing and that I should just sit in the chair. I came too with the syringe still in my arm slumped across her shoulders, she was buckling underneath me and screaming for the doctor to assist her. Laugh? I nearly bust me britches, especially when the Doc gave her a tattering for not listening to me as I'd had a turn on him when he took blood the year before.

It ain't a blocked flue? Carbon monoxide poisening will give some of those symptoms. ____________________ Before: Suzuki GT 185. Honda Superdream 250. Yamaha RD350LC. Suziki RG250. Yamaha FZS600. Honda CBR600F3

Once you get one illness you are highly succeptable to another, although not on the same level, I hadn't had a cold for nearly 3 years, but this winter I have just entered my 7th cold. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

I hope you get to the root of the issue. Not that it's any consolation . . . I rarely feel well, always tired, often feel sickish, mildly dizzy. I sleep well, eat well and have enough excercise. dads a doctor, he gets annoyed if i mention it, says, 'There is nothing wrong with you. Do you know how many people i see on a daily basis that say just the same, its life, we are all often tired etc, its normal'.
Hummmm . . . . .so thats where ths story ends.
Mate cut out wheat and reckons she has much more energy and is less tired.
I today felt GREAT this morning, it's a rarety for me. But now, it's all worn off and I'm back to feeling, run-down, tired, bit dizzy, need a holiday, slightly yucky. Thats normal for me 95% of the time.
Oh and Ive felt like this since I was a teenager, I'm 30 now.
Maybe you have a low grade bug. They give no real 'im ill' symptoms, but leave you feeling generally rough and no ther eis nothing a Doc can do, just ride it out. Ive had plenty of those. |
