Does IBS cause constant tiredness or tiredness is related to something else. Since I have had my Bell`s Palsy experience...I have lost my normal and usual energy...I feel my body is screaming at me through showing unrelenting symptoms of tiredness, As soon as I am on my feet my leg muscles start aching and I feel my head is getting very foggy and my eye- lids getting heavy too.. I just cannot keep my eyes open.....in some early hours of the morning I wake up wit a cold sweat and palpitations....and this has been going on for months like this. My GP has given me propranolol 10mg+diazepam 5mg. But I still get more tired and tired....!! I am in a real pickle again!!! Any suggestions??

    Kokona, on a few other UK forums they have mentioned amazon and local health food stores...I'd send you some but its heavy stuff...vco meaning virgin coconut oil...looks like wax until room temp..

    You are dead on correct again...a neuro should sort out your problemsI am a MND (Motor Neuron Disease) student at age 78...at it for over 2 years. Should ask a few questiions..such as..any hearing loss that your sure of?..high or treble shounds a tad difficult to distinquish? What's puzziling for me is that Bells Palsy was diagnosed without a thin slice MRI? (you didn't menntion it so probably not done"...Bells Palsy prognosis in most cases revolve at least 80 to 90% of the time...the numero uno suspect is "viral" (herpe)...but your symptoms you say like tinnitus began before your anti depressants..put that together with balance...leads one to consider a neuroma...the 7th cranial nerve is complex for me...has among motor neurons but sensory fibers as well...I'm not familiar with the suggested surgery...I'll look into it and get back to you.

    Off topic...I received a private e mail from a member of patient and my pc virus protection went "nuts"..since then, I've had communication problems...will sort it out..soon hopefully.

    Know too you are above average intelligent and will follow your good intellect to sortout your problems with some help..from those with some knowledge/experience...OK, two last questiions...has your GP modified your anti depressants since you initial dosage? reason for asking...yes as we age, metabolism slows considerably...And your Bells Palsy...onset...upper (forehead) or lower..tongue mouth etc.And ...Claudio

      Yes, I have a slight loss of hearing with the ringing side. The dosage that I have been on is the same. The only one has gone up from 50 to 100 gr is Losartan Potassium for my blood pressure.

      My Bell`s Palsy is mostly gone but I still speak slightly on the right side of my mouth, and the left eye is playing up from time to time when I feel tired and bothered. The eye wants to go to sleep. The brain as well. When I get up on my feet I feel  the tiredness and the imbalance immediately.When I walk in the street...I really force myself to walk on a straight line...which is not always there. I tend to sway like a sailor on a heaving deck. What a life eh!!!

    Hi Kokona, like the name,

    I've not come across these tired symptoms with Bells Palsy. If you've IBS diarrhea, its possible you've lost or losing electrolytes and maybe sodium as well.

    I want only to address the IBS asociation...if you have the constipation or more of it than the other, then this electrolyte loss is not implicated. Ann
