Are you taking any medication? that might be the reason.

Former Member

Just a suggestion, is there any way you could be pregnant?

Former Member

Sounds to me like it could be diabetes?

It's a sure sign of depression thats one thing I know, find more motivating stuff to do, or if it is more a different health issue, get to the docs and complain.

You havent crossed out diabetes yet, that could be it, eek.

But it might not be... I don't think saying eek is particulally helpful. :rolleyes:

For example it could be anemia or a number of other things.

If you're peeing a lot in the night... have you got any other symptoms of a bladder infection or something... cos being run down without realising it could also cause tiredness.

Definitly see a doctor if it isn't improving any.

Definitely go to the doctors, and in the meantime to try and energise yourself, make sure you get out in the sunlight early in the morning, say 7.30am, and only go to bed once it gets dark. Do you live near woods or the sea you can go for a walk by? Also try tai chi or yoga - both good for getting energy moving round your body.

I felt exactly like this when I was pregnant, but you say your not so it's not that. Do you find you have a temperature? A temp can be a sign of an infection. It's unusual for something to come on so quickly, thats why I thought of pregnancy. Increased urination can be a urinary tract infection, or bladder infection. I know there's nothing worse! Cystitis usually has a burning sensation, so if you don't identify with any of these it's best to go to your doctor.

re

hey custard,:)

It sounds like youve picked the most sensible option with going to the doctor. Many conditions can have similar symptoms so it maybe easy to speculate as to what the problem is, the doctor should be more closely able to disipher whats up.

thanks for you post and good luck!:wave:

I'm plagued with much of this too, although I'm suffering from depression. It could easily be anaemia, maybe diabetes. I've had lots of tests in the past, looking for these things though and it has turned out negative every time.

I think seeing your doctor is the best thing, really.

Former Member

Perhaps it's simply down to the fact that you are sleeping so long. 12 hours is WAY too much, under normal circumstances.

Former Member

Have you had any weight gain custard?

Only reason I mention it is that your symptoms also match that of an under-active thyroid, specifically the always feeling cold thing.

Easy to test for though so if you go to the Doctors they may well send you for a blood test!

Let us know how you get on.
