fatigue + weak achey legs ! Any advice appreciated
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi guys,
Sorry in advance if this isn't the right place to post - new here!
Basically I've been suffering from fatigue and aching muscles for a few years now, I'm only a 23yr old man but feel about 3 times that. I'll wake up and feel like I haven't slept, with legs usually aching, if I do anything physically too demanding the exshuation I feel is to the point where I can't stand up properly until I rest. It's been suggested that because I wasn't active atall for years that could of caused issues? I'm trying very hard to jog and walk as much as possible to strengthen but it's very difficult. If it's just weak muscles then what is causing me to feel like I could sleep at any given moment?
I've alway wanted to be a photographer but I've had to change my vocation to behind the scenes so I can be sat down all day. I just want to feel like a normal person again, doctors help to and extent but I don't feel like I'm being taken seriously.
I've done sleep studies and all my results suggest I sleep normally.
Just wondering if anyone had any advice or similar issues and could suggest what to look into next ?
Thanks so much for reading and your time.

Take walks instead of running, check on line for energy foods. Eat fresh fruit and green veggies along with good protein, eat all organic if you can and please let me know how you feel in 2 weeks.
Best to you

Ask for blood tests as suggested by the others and try and think back to whether or not there was a trigger to all this? I have cfs/me (chronic fatigue syndrome/ myalgic encephalopathy ) and the unrefreshing sleep is a massive part of that along with aching muscles and what is called post exertional malaise- feeling bad after exercise. Do you also have memory issues and or brain fog? If it is cfs/me, all other things need to be ruled out first such as deficiencies and diseases. If it is, then ask to be referred to the nearest cfs/me clinic.
Hope that helps
Best wishes

My blood previously has shown a low vit d... But I wasn't even sure if this even had a connection. I'll try vits again but apparently it take months to even know a difference?

With cfs/me it's a case of pacing and resting to get better. I Take a multi b vitamin and sometimes iron and vitamin c. Sometimes vit d and calcium. Rest is the important thing. Have a look on me action to see if your symptoms correspond? Do check your vitamin levels though as as vit d deficiency does cause the fatigue and often pain.
