Lately I have been feeling sick, but since Sunday I feel weak, don’t know why. That day I made an effort and went to the pool, but sat down for 10 mins and went to the Club House, it was 85 degrees, and I was feeling bad. Yesterday and today I got ready to go out, but the weak feeling wouldn’t let me. Sometimes I even feel scared and I know my anxiety takes over. Since waking up I don’t feel right, my TSH came ok and other basic blood too. I am taking cholysteramine but only 1/4 spoon a day or none and Zeolite 1/2 tsp a day or less, so I don’t think that is what is causing this feeling. I am going to check my thyroid further, and I am thinking of checking my cortisol too.
I feel something is going wrong with me, but I have to figure it out on my own. I have not being able to start Lyme treatment and bought Buhner herbs for mycoplasma which is my main issue as reported by Armin.
Thanks for your opinions,

Sorry to hear that you are so wiped out, mibella. Fatigue and weakness are symptoms that plague me at times as well. It can feel like someone has pulled the plug, the batteries are running low, or that we're running on fumes, or some other dismal analogy. Unfortunately it's so hard to pinpoint the cause!

Are those binders new for you? Even small doses can cause big reactions for sensitive individuals.

If you have MCAS and are exposed to a lot of heat or food you react to, then you could be tired from histamine overload. You might have issues with your hormonal systems - adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, etc. You might be anemic - how's your ferritin? Vitamin D? B12? Have you had any viruses recently? Seasonal allergies? Are you taking anything that alters neurotransmitters, like amino acids or antidepressants? Any adaptogenic herbs? Do you have POTS or other nervous system issues?

Just throwing a few ideas out there.

What Sara said about binders and MCAS rings a bell to me. I’m having similar bouts. I had some bad mold exposures weeks ago and seem to have been spiraling downward since.

I just realized yesterday I have been having MCAS symptoms. I have been taking 250-500 mg of quercetin before meals and at bedtime. It seems to help some, but I have been having more fatigue and muscle weakness than I have had in a while.

Even when I get up to walk, I feel pain and weakness in my calf muscles. Also have had bouts of shortness of breath and feeling like I’m dying - like the life force is being sucked out of me. I feel malnourished in spite of eating.

I understand how concerning it can be. I felt scared yesterday but feel a little better today. Hope you feel better soon.
