Hi, new to this forum. I've had several blood tests now an MRI and I'm waiting for an appointment to see a neurologist. So, I've suffered from IBS for 30 years, despite trying several diets, etc. I restrict bread and cakes, pies etc. But frequently have episodes for no apparent reason. I've found it difficult to sleep for about two years. For the last 12 months I've just been exhausted, I can't describe how tired I feel just wanting to sleep, when I'm like this even the idea of showering and dressing exhausts me. Then I have good days, I get up and feel I can tackle the world, which usually only lasts about 24hrs.
I've now employed a dog walker (walking was an activity I enjoyed) as I've fallen or stumbled on several occasions.it just feels like my left leg gives way. I also have aches and pains, my ankles, wrists, spine and underneath my feet. I try and get things done first thing in the day, as I don't think straight past midday. Recently I've been having hot flushes in the evening and nighttime, at 67 I know it's not menopause. My doctor linked symptoms to grief as my husband died 2 years ago, hence the blood tests.
I'd just like to know if this is old age catching up with me or something else.
