I know no one but my doctor can diagnose me but I just want to see if anyone else has symptoms similar to mine. I don't have an appointment with my doctor until early february but I'm trying to get a sense of what is going on with me. I'm in my early thirties, I have one child who is almost three. I've been having this pain in my hips a bit before I even became pregnant but just called it arthritis and brushed it off. When I sleep I get this intense pain in my hip/lower back area. I sleep mostly on my right side but it doesn't matter which side it is... it hurts! It feels like it hurts deep into the bone and I'm afraid to turn on my back sometimes because it feels like everything will just snap apart. Its getting worse as time goes on. Before it would happen once or twice a month for maybe a week. Now its pretty much every night (pillows between the legs sometimes help). I now feel a discomfort inmy hip area during the day if I stand or sit for periods of time. Its not pain but feels more like mild menstural cramps. In november I got the worst of it when we went to disney world and was in constant pain from all the walking.
I also get pain in my hands and find it hurts to strain them and I have to really focus on relaxing them to get the pain away.
Also, for years I've dealt with feeling tired all.the.time. I go to bed at a normal time, fall asleep fine, my pain usually comes between 1-3am so I empty my bladder then try to sleep on my back. I get the recommended 8 hours of sleep but I wake up tired and yawn all day. I work full time and really have to push myself to get through the day. Then when I get home I have to push myself to cook dinner, clean up, and spend time with my daughter (which I love doing). I also feel like i can't focus or concentrate like a normal person. I feel like I totally understand the brain fog. I also get terrible mood swings out of nowhere and lately I've had this depression/feeling of anxiety going on. Also...no libdo.
Those are my symptoms that bother me most. I do have an underactive thyroid and I get bloodwork done regularly for it. I was diagnosed with that about three months ago and was sure that's why I was so tired. I was devastated when they told me my bloodwork was fine the last time. I'm sure there is something more.
