Maybe I'm just gettin' old
This is an exact copy of the post that I left on Healthboards.com...
I'm new here, and I don't really know the procedure as to where to post questions, so: here's as good a place as any.
For about 2 or 3 months now (maybe even a longer) I've felt pretty tired for no real reason. When I'd stayed up late the night before, I'd always chalk it up to that...but, for instance, today I slept for 16 hours and as I sit here and type this, I'm still yawning. I still feel psyically exhausted. This isn't the first time this has happened - no matter how much sleep I get, I always feel tired. I have a hard time concentrating on things for a long time, my job just feels not worth doing, I've lost my zest. My get up and go just got up and went, as it were, and I'm only 18!
My job requires me to lift heavy boxes and I'm bending to get things all night - when I stand up (from bending over), most of the time I get a bit of a head-ache feeling. I'm constantly getting sore joints for no real reason - they just start hurting. Sometimes, I'll just be sitting in a chair and my hip joint will hurt quite badly and then go away as if it never came. I'm cold almost all the time - nothing I do warms me up, unless I crank the heat and that's not good for my heating bill! I have other symptoms, but I'm not sure they have anything to do with anything so I'm just posting those.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with me? Sometimes I overreact and the smallest problem makes me think I'm dieing or something, so...this may be nothing! But I had to ask.. :)
