To be frank, it would be easier to list symptoms that I haven't experienced this Summer break. Over the past few months I have been to the GP several times a month over symptoms from acid reflux to fatigue to chest pain, worrying about a stomach ulcer, then gallstones, then MS, and the ongoing one - lupus. My anxiety's favourite.
I know that I have this tendency to be ridiculous, but throughout the strange array of symptoms I've been consistently fatigued along with a tension headache, eye strain (and struggles focussing my eyes despite having glasses), brain fog, light-headedness and feeling apathy towards everything. I've been off uni, so I have spent a lot of time laying down and feeling like I need to sleep constantly. I just don't feel well. My blood tests (vitamins, coeliac panel and thyroid) came back fine except for a mild B12 deficiency, but my doctor was pretty bad at explaining whether or not that can make me feel this exhausted and dead. I just constantly feel like it must be something serious.
I am sorry for the massive post... this is seriously making my life hell.
