Hi I'm looking for some help I've been having this problem for nearly 2 yrs. Im tired nearly all the time, I've a constant burning sensation down my arms and legs, I've pins and needles across my back. At times I get very down, I've recently lost 21/2 stone but some is due to watching my diet. Sleeping a lot but still feel tired. I've been tested for MS and was told it wasn't that. I have been told I've got osteoarthritis and reynauds syndrome (painful hands). I'm prone to headaches a lot. At times my body feels a dead weight and doing anything feels like a whole chore. I would really love an answer to whatever it is I have if anyone can help PLEASE.....

    I think you need to see your GP again and ask to be referred to a specialist. You shouldn't be suffering.

    Good news that you do not have MS. My aunt suffers from Reynaud's too. I really feel for you.

    Is it possible that your condition could be psychological? Our minds are very powerful tools. Any problems you may be suffering from emotionally might be manifesting itself physical, hence your constant tiredness, weight loss and other ailments.

    Best wishes

    It must be due fatigue and stress your body is not responding to physical stress any more

    Hi,

       I have exactly the same problem.

    i first had it 10yrs ago so I saw a naturopath which fixed it.

    It has now come back so I will do the same.
