Hello!
Did you talk to your doctor already?
Considering your age, maybe you are in menopause? This symptom of chronic tierdness and severe muscle pain is very common with women in premenopausal and menopausal stage.
One more thing, what is your physical condition? I mean, do you exercise, at least walk or something similar? This is also very important fact for well being of the body!

Hi,
I'm not sure what is going on with you. Only your doctor can run some test,answer your questions. But, I can tell you my experience,and ultimate diagnose from my fatigue and muscle pain. Rember there are many things that can cause these symptoms,and only your Md can help you diagnose them.
I'm a 46, female. I was suffering from severe fatigue,,severe muscle pain,and generally not feeling well at all. For too long I blamed my weight or my age. But, when I loss some of my vision I had my blood sugar( BS) checked by my MD. My BS was 387. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. But, my other blood work was abnormal too. So, my doctor ran a ferritin(iron) test on me too. Based on my other abnormal lab work he diagnosed me with hemochromatosis. It is a disease of iron toxicity. I lack a gene to eliminate the excess iron from my body. Instead it is stored in my organs and tissues. If not diagnosed early enough, it can cause organ failure(pancrease,live,heart) and/or premature death. It also causes arthritis(not reversable). If caught early the other problems are reversible. I have been working out for over a month now,since my diagnoses. I had 4 weeks in a row of phlebotomy to bring my blood levels to normal. My BS have come down with each phlebotomy. I have osteoarthritis too. However, I continue with the muscle pain. Everytime I lift weights,exercise,housework,yardwork etc. , it is like the first time I have ever done it. My muscles ache so.I lifted weights years ago and know I should be increasing in strength,endurance etc. But, I haven't been able to move forward,and some days even have to use less weight. I have been searching on line to see if this is a complication of my hemochromatosis. I will be discussing this with my doctor also. Hemochromatosis is a common disease in people of eatern european descent. The complications of this disease are preventable if diagnosed early on.
Good luck in your search,and talk to your Md.

| Hi, your symptoms sound very similar to polymyalgia. It is a condition which generally targets your blood vessels surrounding the muscle. It normally affects people over 60, however I am 33 and have been battling this condition for 2 years. Talk to your doctor, it is easily controlled with prednisone. It does feel like you have done major exercise the day before, it also causes fatige, and muscle stiffness. |
