in a lot of pain over 12 months ago. physiotherapist suggested could be something like giant cell Polymyalgia ? Have raised CRP levels 77....im anaemic something i think it was iron 3.7 also raised white blood cell count. im very tired and after about an hour up have to go to bed to sleep. i cant tolerate many foods, just white fish or something. ive lost around a stone in weight in the past month which is about thenlength of time ive been vomiting. My first GP thought it may be this, however was unavailable until next week. i went to see another GP who isnt sure. im at a loss as i have two young children. recent drugs prescribed...sorry im falling asleep writing this.

Hi BS8
Have you had your Iron and B12 checked. Low levels can cause extreme tiredness. Get your doctor to do some blood work also request a B12 test because it wont be included in a complete blood count....keep us posted..
