Hi everyone happy 2023. I was here on and off last year but been away as I had a few things to sort out with my health that's been a bit of a wild journey.
I've been suffering from fatigue but it's more than fatigue, I'm talking total exhaustion even after sleeping right through the night. I've got balance problems as well but I feel like it's to do with the fatigue. There's also increased urination at night like several times each night. I've done urine sample but no Diabetes. And then there's this headache, tingling and dull achy pain in the top and back of my head. Irritating and uncomfortable. Is this anxiety...? Or autism fatigue? I suffer from anxiety so suspecting it's that. But I did have burn out before and got tired then but this time like say it feels more than tiredness it is complete exhaustion. Your help here would be appreciated if you can.
How old are you?
I'll be 30 next month.
Ok. I was thinking peri menopause symptoms, with the nighttime peeing, dizziness etc. You are young, so perhaps a visit to the gp for bloods, to rule out an iron deficiency. The head and neck issues might be from anxiety and tension. I do get that a lot, especially the day after my shifts at work. You could try neck exercises and stretches (check YouTube), and chin tucks etc and see if they help. If you are truly experiencing dizziness when you look up, or try to get out of bed etc where the room is spinning, then you could have an inner ear issue that is easily rectified then a specific set of manoeuvres. I have an interest in health, but don’t take what I say as fact. I’m just going by my own experiences.
Could it be psychosomatic? When I turned 30 I felt permanently tired, run down, and caught so many illnesses, then when I turned 31 it stopped almost over night. I have since come to the conclusion because I dreaded the big 30 I was making myself physically ill through a mental process.I have experienced all those symptoms since, but just as regular burn-out and fatigue, nothing at all as bad as the year I was 30.
