I have asked several times here if anyone gets a day here and there with exhaustion, general malaise, slight achiness and headache and slight nausea and no one does. These symptoms for me have increased from a couple times a year to every day in the last week. My IBS has been really bad for 2-3 months and I finally have my GI doc appt tomorrow. But in the meantime I have had extreme exhaustion coming on more and more to having it nonstop since Wednesday. I have no other symptoms but wanting to sleep all the time. I still don't know if it is related to IBS, especially being my IBS has been so bad. So I went to my family doc today and was tested for blood sugar, mono, thyroid and white cell count. I am still waiting for info on the thyroid but the others are negative. I will be curious to see what the GI doc says tomorrow about this exhaustion and whether it is digestion related. My family doc said it could be SAD and recommended a light. I suppose that is possible, but on the other hand I want to do things and be my usual active self it just feels like I have no energy.
I want to know if anyone else has had an experience like this so that might help my doctor figure out what is going on with me. It is too bad I have to add this to my present condition. It was bad enough to go to the GI doc and say I have excrutiating bloat, pain and gas and nothing else; now I have all those things and extreme exhaustion. Very strange!
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
