Hi-

I have a strange type of sickness in which I feel really tired, and weird in my head. My skin also feel really hot on my face, but I do not run a fever. I have been to all kinds of doctors and haven't found much. I was tested for thyroid problems, and they said I have Autoimmune thyroid disorder---on a later check up they said my thyroid is back to normal. I feel fine and then sometimes out of the blue I will get really tired and lethargic. I eat healthily and stay away from junk food. I have also had the house checked for gas leaks. I was wondering if anyone out there might have a similar situation, or have an idea of what else I should ask my doctor about. Thank you :)

My eating plan says to eat 1700 cal a day, but I usually eat closer to 1500 because I am not very active right now. If I have had a blood test would red blood cells show up, or do I have to ask for it... Thanks

sometimes if you're not very active, you can feel even more tired. That said, you should get back to your doc if you have a history of thyroid problems. Generally speaking blood tests are only analysed for the specific things that are requested, so if your doc wasn't looking for a low blood count, then they wouldn't find it.
