Bad day/week

I've been feeling like crap the last couple of days. I hurt everywhere and I can't sleep well at night. I have no energy, and even if I did my joints hurt so bad I wouldn't want to move anyway. I'm so tired, I'm falling asleep at the drop of a hat... I actually fell asleep drinking my shake this morning. This is so frustrating, because I also gained back a lb and it looks like I might be coming into a stall. I'm eating my protein (avg 80 g) & my calories (800-1000), taking all my vitamins, drinking all my water, and spreading my food out into 7 tiny meals every 2 hours to control my hypoglycemia. I'm not eating garbage or anything I know I have sensitivities to. At 7 months out, why is this happening NOW? It feels like someone has beaten me with a phonebook all over my body, I keep getting back spasms, and I can't get comfortable at all. I about jump out of my skin when DH tries to hug or cuddle. I talked to my NUT about this, but my bloodwork is excellent... so she had no recommendations except maybe physical therapy. Physical therapy for WHAT though? I mean, it's not just pain in one place, it's all over... my neck, shoulders, back, ribs, hips, knees, ankles. It's joint pain and muscle pain; and I've had a monster headache for the last 3 days. Maybe this is a padding thing? Did anyone else lose down to a point and then their entire body was sensitive/painful for a couple of weeks? The only medications I'm on are low dose thyroid (for hypothyroid) and tricor (for high triglycerides). I don't think they are causing this, because my bloodowork was normal. Hell, I don't know. Or maybe this a flu or something?

Sounds viral to me. But I've also heard that megadoses of Vit A and Vit D can cause those symptoms too...

Maybe it is viral. I'm not megadosing on A at all, and am only taking 20,000 UI of D a week (blood levels are stable). Maybe I need to have my dosage of the thyroid meds increased (despite "normal range" levels) because trouble losing weight, fatigue, joint & muscle pain, depression and lethargy are symptoms of hypo. But then again, one of the side effects of Tricor is unexplained joint pain and muscle weakness. Waaaaahhhh   I just want to feel better and have bounds of energy like the rest of you!!

Lately I don't have bounds of energy

I'm due for my 1 year labs in 2 weeks so I'll see if anything is out of whack. But I'm falling asleep at my desk most days and I don't want to do anything at night when I get home. I'm also going to see my PCP tomorrow about meds that could be the culprit. I want my energy back

I'm seeing my PCP next Wed. I'd really just like to stop hurting and not be so tired all the time. I just haven't been back to normal since the surgery. Sure, I feel better for the most part, but zippo on the pep-o-meter. Hope your PCP figures out what's sapping your energy and you can get it sorted.

Bekah, Onetime many moons ago i lost a lot of weight and i was underweight not by my height and age etc but for what worked for me and i felt exactly like you do now.  Once i gained a simple 5 pounds back i felt normal again.  Any chance your weight might be too low? Brenda

I don't think it's a underweight issue because I lost down to 180-5 a couple years ago and didn't feel like this at all. I think this has to be medication or hormonal/thyroid related. I've had the localized "lost my padding" aches for a few days along the way, but it's never been all over my body like this before. I haven't felt this sore since my near-fatal car accident. I felt less pain the day after surgery than I am in right now  

Hmpf....and to think I used to like you...

this sounds strangly familar... you don't have a sore throat and/or left lower side ache do you? you might wanna get mono ruled out... that's what i got... and, yeah, it sucks. sorry.

I had a sore throat the other day, but nothing consistent.; and my left side doesn't hurt any more than any other part of me. I'll get a test for mono just to be on the safe side though... thanks!
