Anyone else suddenly get severe fatigue?

I think I'm pretty lucky that I've had a lot of energy for several years, even with this FMS. One down side of that energy is that it caused more problems with my osteoarthritis.....especially my knees and hands.
But....about a week and a half ago, I became totally exhausted. I take D3 supplements, since it tends to run low. I eat a lot of veggies, but sometimes a little too much sugar. My meds haven't changed. Well, actually I did make one little change, which was to give up the one Exedrin (acetaminophen and caffeine), I started quite a while back. I think I started it 'cause of headaches.....which I no longer have. Sometimes in the past if I got used to using a little caffeine, it would actually backfire on me and make me tired. So I quit that about 2 weeks ago, but my fatigue is constantly here. Anyone else have spells of severe fatigue for no reason? I do use a cpap, and my numbers in the mornings are reasonable.
Sometimes I get pretty emotionally down when I'm so tired. Well, in truth, I'm also severely depressed.........but I have been for a very long time, but I still had a lot of energy. I think one of my least favorite feelings is being fatigued.
I know depression can cause fatigue, but I'm having trouble believing that's what's going on here.
I had some labs drawn today, but they are always normal. Am I the only one who gets bummed out when all my labs come back normal? That sounds awful, but I'm always looking for something being off that I can do something about. Anyhow........that's it. Thanks for listening. Oh....and to be on the safe side, I took an antigen home test for Covid and it was negative.

Hi Cathy: Once in a while I get more severe fatigue, though generally I get more of a sleepy type. I think that's a side effect of my meds.

I think emotions can cause that for me, too. If I'm having a bad or sort of bad day, I seem to get a little more tired later in the day. And we recently had relatives stopping by, so I had to do a little more housekeeping than I like!
Fatigue is a sneaky thing. You were smart to get labs and tested for Covid.

Oh, and I can sure relate to wanting the doctor to find something more definite! Went through years of testing and running to the doctor many years ago. I thought surely there would be something very definite found, but....nope.

With all the humidity outside, I find my IBS is kicking up a little. i guess we fibromites always have something going!

Hope your depression is gone soon. It helps me personally to pray and also divert myself with a hobby or reading or mellow music. Talking to others is helpful, too.

If I focus on "Now what's going on in my body??" I tend to get somewhat down and some occasional anxiety. I try to look at the positive. I know that's not always easy, though, especially when we "juggle" all sorts of body ailments. It's times like that that I especially cherish seeing my little grandchildren. They always brighten up my day.

Best wishes! I hope your fatigue resolves very soon.

I’m seeing an ENT tomorrow, I’ve been in antibiotics a few times for strep and etc but it never went away. Do you remember the antibiotic or diagnosis? Did you get an inflamed gland under chin? I’ve been to the doctors so many times. It’s been a year. Tongue gets really dry and hairy feeling during work. Looks white all over and terrible until I brush my tongue slightly firm, then it looks normal. Not thrush either-been swabbed. Overgrowth of gram negative bacterias, had h pylori when this started. Any info would be a life saver.

Hello Cathy,
Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. I feel so tired that is hard to speak, breath deeply and even think. I have also been very depressed for almost 10 months because I was in agonizing pains during the winter and I had to take a sick leave. Now I don’t feel so much pain but I am always exhausted. I need to get back to work but I am terrified I won’t be able to do it.
