I don’t feel non-drugged until well after 6 PM. I’m sleeping very well. I even tried caffeine pills and even caffeine doesn’t budge the “just come to under general anesthesia” feeling. I’ve been under before, and that retch-y feeling is the same. People have also noticed that I’m moving slowly. I don’t drink alcohol, so this isn’t a hangover. It started rather gradually but is getting worse.
Someone suggested it could be low b12, but I’ve been having the sublingual spray for months and there’s no improvement.
Am I just getting old and this is something I’m gonna have to put up with for the rest of my life?
Do you get your kicks out of this? Why do you keep on making new accounts and trying to frame misogynistic tropes?
peri- menopause? IANAD and am a male
I’d suggest seeing a doctor but you could be from the US and it might not be possible.
No. Start learning about the gut microbiome. https://humanmicrobiome.info/
Omg go to the fucking doctor?!? No “could be B12 but I’ve been getting supplements” NO. Wtaf are you doing? If it’s not B12 you would know because the doctor checked and your b12 was normal. Wtf are you doing asking the internet?
Do you have to communicate like this?!
He’s really worried.
Then getting the point across should be the focus. All this hysteria clouds the argument and belittles OP, someone exhausted who doesn’t get the help they need from their doctor.
Seems most others here managed to do that just fine.
Rule 3 exists in every such community for a reason. Don’t ask for serious medical advice on the internet. Go. To. A. Doctor.
It could be sleep apnea. It could be allergies (sometimes you acquire them later in life). Could be that aliens are abducting you late at night and taking turns batting your titties around and you have amnesia about it.
Go 👏 see 👏 the 👏 doctor 👏👏👏👏👏👏
could be anemia, women gets them alot from periods. you definitely needs some blood test to check your: full blood panel. probably check a1c, glucose, ,etc. B12 deficiency is unlikely unless you went full vegan or have some disorder, like celiacs, or rarely a tapeworm.
Seriously, go to a doctor. That’s not normal.
This identical story was posted months ago. At the time OP argued with everyone saying a doctor can’t help. Just argued with every suggestion.
Yeah they kept insisting that women over 30 are geriatric and that this was normal. It was bizarre.
Well at some point it just turns into trolling.
Exactly. The other post they made was more clear that they were making a commentary on women aging past 30 and how we’re worthless and old.
This new account is the one who posted a week ago the repeat post refusing to believe that any woman enjoys sex. OP claims they always experience debilitating penetrative pain during exams and any other attempts at penetration. There they also argued with anyone who said to see a doctor because it is not normal.
That makes me even more convinced this is a troll posing as a woman in order to bolster misogynistic tropes about women.
But like… Why?
Because some men fucking suck and want to confirm their sexist beliefs about women. Or they suck and want to troll by pretending to be a dumb, old woman to help push that women act this way.
That is my suspicion as well.
I still think this is because those posts get high engagement. I have seen another post recently not about woman i could have sworn i have seen before, but Lemmy being Lemmy there is no real way to recover deleted things (without setting my own instance). But why hunting a high amount of upvotes when upvotes really don’t matter… I don’t know.
rfk junior at it again pretending he’s a scientist
No that is not normal at all.
“Is it normal to feel completely different all the time from how ive felt before”
Ragebait used to be believable. Tinfoil hat says this is a misogyny bot
Women becoming decrepit and old at 30 years is such an unbelievable trope these days.
You see this quite a lot though, “I woke up and my arm had fallen off, is this normal or should I go to the hospitals”, in the past when it was on reddit it was usually engagement farming not really sure what the point of that here is.
Ya pretty normal for women over 30. In your next life be born a man
It’s not normal for women over 30.
It’s normal for your hormones and blood chemistry to change over time, especially as you get further and further from your easily recoverable childhood, when a good night’s sleep solved most problems.
Talk to your doctor, get some bloodwork done, and see where your levels are. It’s likely that a bit of adjustment will do the trick.
Nope! I’m older than you and that doesn’t happen. You probably need blood work done? I went through a time when I was exhausted constantly and was like “this must be middle age” but I had low iron and vitamin d.
I’ve had blood work done, my urea and white blood cells have consistently been low since at least September last year (I kept having them repeated by my doctor) but I thought that just might be to do with me getting older since your immune system decreases with age, and my doctor didn’t bring it up. TSH, iron etc was normal.
I’m just trying to help, so please don’t take this the wrong way, but what are you eating and drinking? It could be “healthy” stuff or it could be crap making you feel this way. My best advice is to try and figure it out now, because it won’t get easier. Food sensitivities seem to be brushed off because they’re not bad enough to kill you, but the damage can add up over time.
- Start with removing the crap
- See a good nutritionist or study up from the Mayo clinic or Cleveland Hospital sites, they have a lot of good info.
- Drink a lot of water no matter what you do
- Watch your caffeine intake, you have to be consistent if you’re going to have it.
- Since your muddy headed, it might help to go on nature walks. It doesn’t have to be a long time, just try to get outside.
They didn’t do any followup? Low white blood cells for that long can indicate some stuff that should at least be checked for. Your doctor should also know if those numbers are normal for your age. Did they make any suggestions? 32 is genuinely still young.
They kept repeating them since September last year every 4-5 weeks. They told me it’s normal, I asked for the papers to be printed recently, got them all printed out, and when I checked, each time I had my white cells etc tested, they are low.
By the way, I think my initial reply reads dismissive, but my intention was to try and make clear that whatever is happening isn’t normal aging. Can you see a second doctor? Fatigue is such a vague symptom, with so many possible reasons, but what you’re describing could indicate a lot of things and you need a doctor who will take it seriously.
My friend was able to do a mini sleep study from home recently, to test for sleep apnea. I noticed when we were traveling together that he sometimes gasped in his sleep, and he told his doctor about it. I think there are DIY sleep monitoring apps but I don’t know if they’re any good. Might be worth looking into, if your doctor isn’t helping. Or find someone to listen to you sleep.
The range of possibilities with bad fatigue is just so big. I can only make suggestions based on my own life experience, but a doctor in your corner would be able to look for so many more things.
Oh, did you have a bad illness at some point before the fatigue? Covid isn’t the only virus that can have confusing long term after effects.
A relative with fibromyalgia had constant farigue, but I think pain is a factor with that one.
I can keep thinking of possibilities, unfortunately.
Seconding everyone else saying you should get a second opinion. Something is clearly wrong and if your doctor isn’t looking closer to figure out what the issue is or trying to find solutions then you absolutely deserve a second opinion from a doctor who cares
i would probably see a 2nd opinion, if it appeared suddenly 2 years ago, there is a cause. b12 does nothing unless you deficient, usually vegans that supplement b12 gets it. or if you have absorption disorder like celiacs, which prevents intrinsic factor, small intestine from abosrbing. currently thinking about seeing a 2nd derm and pcp, because they are quite how should i say it, not very keen on atopic dermatitis, if they dont see a rash/severe symptoms they will not do anything further.
They should not be repeating the same tests, they should be thinking about what else they should be testing for.
Your test results, plus fatigue, without an accompanying protein, vitamin, or nutrient deficiency, seems to indicate an infection of some kind, possibly in the liver or kidneys. Some environmental factor is also possible.
Your combination of test results and symptoms seems a cause for concern. I would consider asking your Dr. about it, possibly getting a second opinion.
32 isn’t old I mean if you had said 60 then I would have told you you got a problem but age isn’t it!
Go to the doctor!
Are you allergic? Food allergies are a beast and as little as a 0.001 gram can trigger it, making you feel like shit for days.
Now, go to the doctor!
Since you mentioned the substance… That sounds an awful lot like caffeine addiction.
