    Question Fatigue

    For the past 3 days I have been unusually fatigued. I also have had an upset stomach, pains, bit of nausea and generally uncomfortable. The fatigue is whats worrying me, I slept from 10:15 to 7am and could barely get out of bed. last night I had that sore skin feeling. It doesn't feel like I'm coming down with a cold, I have never had fatigue like this (apart from when dd was born )
    Will go to the GP next week if it keeps up, but in the meantime has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be? Or experienced similar?

    ETA: I am not pregnant

    That was my first thought- pregnancy.

    Have you ever had the flu? Maybe it's that, the flu is much worse than a cold but I had high temps as well.

    Otherwise a virus of some sort. Rest up and see how you go x

    Iron levels? I remember when I went back to work I was exhausted and fatigued
    I think my body was working hard breast feeding and trying to readjust.
    Maybe some vitamin b for you?

    Never had the flu saffy, hope it's not the case! I feel bloody awful though. And DH just sleeps all day and night so he's no help at all.

    Re: Fatigue

    Not breastfeeding any more so can't be mastitis. I think it could be stress related. Feeling a tiny bit better today, but still yuk. My stomach is really unsettled and I feel sick after I eat anything. By 6pm I feel so exhausted and my eyes are hanging out of my head. But I do have a weird pain that comes and goes on my right side kinda on my back. Think it's where my kidney is. So that's a bit worrying.
