New here :)

Hi everyone my name is Sam i am a 22 year old female from the UK.

A bit about myself: Well i am a student currently studying Sport and Exercise Science. Part time i teach gymnastics and i enjoy doing sport.

For the last month I had been feeling very tired, sore muscles, sore joints and flu like symptoms, my lympnodes in my groin are also very sensitive. I exercise regularly but not as much as i use to when i did gymnastics 3 times a day so when the tiredness started i assumed it was i wasnt exercising enough. As the weeks went on i started feeling worse, more tired, muscles very weak and sore, worse after exercise, glands were still sore and felt really crap. It also didnt matter how much sleep i got or even eating healthier. So i took myself to the docs and he did blood tests for thyroid, anemia, glandular fever, hiv and various other things, and they all came back clear. He then suggested i may have a viral infection and rest and fluids will do me good, but ive tried that and i still feel horrible. Ive been reading up on CFS and i do have a lot of the symptoms, i am not diagnosing myself as i am not a doctor but i do think this could be a possibility?

Any views and opinions will be helpful.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam, I would definitely follow up on it, is your Dr. in Sports Medicine? I ask because your an athlete and they also tend to be more CFS friendly, this is also true of Physiologists and Naturopathic Practitioners so if you do have access to any of those, that's the direction I would point you. Hopefully you don't have this but if you do, this place contains a wealth of information, compassion and Hope. I hope something in what I said helped and Keep in Touch.
