tiredness

[DJ TT 2002]

If you can swing it, I recommend a full evaluation at Johns Hopkins.
You need a comprehensive multi specialty assessment at a tertiary care center.
Unfortunately, I do not know if you have the ability to be seen in the US.

There are too many variables in this setting for you to settle for anything less than a work up at a comprehensive medical center

You might have sleep apnea. If you’re not getting enough oxygen at night, you will be tired and sleepy during the day.
Get regular exercise and hydrate well.
I hope you feel better.

[Retired Bob]

You have sleep apnea have sleep study, you'll feel much better

At age 35, I was in a high stress work situation for several years. I had recurring bouts of what appeared to be 'the Flu'. Eventually this turned into a general malaise characterised by extreme tiredness or fatigue without any obvious cause. There were also many of the other symptoms you mention.
Blood tests failed to identify a specific condition but were indicative of an auto-immune problem. My doctors had no answers. I did a lot of research myself and concluded that the symptoms matched what was being called CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) a condition that was not uncommon. Another name being used was ME (Myalgic Encephalo-myelitis) There was no known cause except some sort of immune-system breakdown, and no known treatment, at least by conventional medicine.
Eventually I decided that I was going to have to find a treatment for the condition myself. I looked around for a reputable Naturopath and followed his recommendations plus regular light exercise (walking). I eliminated known toxins from my diet (alcohol, caffeine, excess fats, excess sugar) and most importantly changed my job to eliminate the stress. Took me 10 years to slowly recover but I have been well again for almost 2 decades.
I am inclined to believe that it is a condition caused by long-term high-stress situations that gradually damage the immune system. I think some personality types are more prone to this than others, specifically high-anxiety, perfectionistic, control-dominant, high-energy personality types.
I would be interested to know if you fit this personality type and whether you have been in a long-term high-stress situation.

I know, it’s hard to believe but depression (and following neurosis) could cause these symptoms and consequences
Try to visit a good psychotherapist as well

How much do you weigh?

My guess is either Low T, thyroid, or sleep apnea.

I am certainly not a happy person anymore but there are symptoms that can't be caused due depression, they basicly point on a underlying condition more like a auto-immunedisease and they did found some kind of small level of something in my blood once however recently they rechecked and didnt found it anymore.

things i have:
frequently getting sick like 5-6 times a year

constantly tired and unwell

Petechia which dissapear in 1 week i have this on various spots and various times, they took 2 biopts but both biopts gave ''different'' results :/ without any specific ''result'' :/

sweating like a animal all day long with a strong odor without liver disease
blood in urine, stool which are gone now for long time

high levels of vitamin B6/12 in my blood without any supplementation,energy drink etc

high level of bone alcalic phosphatase that been back to baseline now

carpal tunnel syndrome

chronic irritated throat without any gastric reflux,smoking,coughing etc

loss of memory

frequent muscle fasciculations through my whole body

kicking legs in the evening

high blood pressure

high cholesterol low good cholesterol but this is in family

chronic elevated ALT since 2015, most likely this is caused by exercising but the problem is that it was still even larger elevated after 2 weeks of rest. My liver seems completely normal further and they tested for fat liver,hepatites and everything you can imagine in this way

thrombosed veins

enlarged lymph nodes since 2015 which stay enlarged but equally ''small''
so not growing ones

some weird unknown things

and something that i rather won't describe on this forum as my next doctor(s) would most likely find this and know who's talking here
It is known ''what'' it is but doesn't exist in males

Were you tested for all the types of hepatites, B and C. Elevated ALT can point to abnormal liver functions.

Hi yes everything multiple times, however i already was vaccinated for hepatites aswell(they just continued to think about this because i have a lot of tattoos )
Alt in my case is completely on its own without any other liver tests that point towards something there aswell as a couple of multisounds and a fibroscan which where completely normal.
I strongly believe there is nothing wrong with my liver, i allready did this years ago and i repeated that and repeated it to the doctors but they continued to search into it... At some point they found the alcalic phosphatase to be continuesly elevated and i directly known that it wasn't caused by the liver but by the bone…… The specialist laughed and sended me off and i told my GP which runned a test that isolates this enzymes so that you can ''see'' how the levels are devided and he found it came from the bone indeed.... In the hospital the specialist had not the slightest clue she could run this test, i did know this and repeated her and told her 10 times and she promised me to talk to her professor about this but as you can see.. She ddnt do anything



Some people talk about hormones here,
and i think this is a great sugestion as i was allready a bit pointing towards that when i visited the doctor for the last time but i havent asked him yet to ''look'' into this. They havent looked into this, but my general thyroid test like TSH runs completely normal.. I have a newly found thing that only occurs in woman when they have gave birth, now i am a male so this is for now the most weird thing to me...
Now this food allergy tests are also a great idea, i will try to ask my doctor about this aswell.

Furthermore i have been in a serious stressfull life for many many years indeed.. And i am sure this have ''triggered'' a lot of this stuff. The only problem is that i also feel it isn't just ''stress'' anymore.. The petechias i get regulary and the few weird things that i won't describe here point towards that.. That said i do believe it is after all indeed caused by a complete body under stress

•Sleep Apnea. ...
•Narcolepsy. ...
•Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. ...
•Kleine-Levin Syndrome. ...

Naturopaths are underrated. Most Americans probably don't even know what they are, as western medicine rules everything and preventive/alternative treatments are seemingly incompatible with their "fix me now" mentality.

My father was a naturopath and transpersonal psychologist in Spain right about the time they stopped putting such people in jail for going against the medical mafia. He treated and cured cancer naturally, without chemo, without putting someone within an inch of their death. He also treated many other illnesses. I'll never forget at his funeral when an elderly woman told me he saved her life with his treatments. And I knew many of his patients as I had worked in his clinic at times myself doing clerical.

You are true, my GP i think likes this kind of ''specialists'' aswell, but most doctors have a big problem with them and see them as dangerous..

I am confirming that IMO it is a healthy choice. I support food allergy testing and have been surprised by the amount of people find improvement with it.

Will go definitely after it!!!

It could be your sugar levels are too low.
I do three one hour jogs a week but before starting each I have a cup of a sweet drink. Prune juice suits me.
But in any case, I have to make sure I snack or eat every 3/4 hours whether I excersise or not.
Making certain I keep topped up keeps me OK!

No that is something unguilty and normal ;-)

Sometimes the problem is determined by the process of elimination. Instead of seeing different doctors and various hospitals, find yourself a good Medical center and let them help you.
For example, Johns Hopkins in Balt, Penn Medicine in Phila, Jefferson Medical Center Phila.
They have the skills and resources to help you.

We have done Some bloodwork again and accidently he filled in vit.D which seems in a huge deficiency! Hope it solves some!
