It was a cold...
Yes, folks. The cold has broken - I now have a runny blocked up nose and am sneezy. This is no doubt the answer to my weird symptoms. Feel so much better now.

Not about cystitis
Went to a festival weekend before last and still feel absolutely rubbish. Am worried that have done too much and got adrenal fatigue/developing M.E. Thought I'd record my list of symptoms and then hopefully watch myself get better soon. (Please, please!)
- Exhausted. Wake up feeling like have not slept.
- Dull headache at back of head.
- Muscle weakness.
- Blood sugar feels out of whack - feel hungry, faint, and shaky very soon after eating. Just about goes away after eating, but not always.
- Eyes really tired and puffy.
- Congested air passages.
- Feel slightly nauseous, slightly dizzy.
- Pins and needles in my hands and feet that does go.
Most likely explanations:
- Stress: have been stressed out at work recently, and then had a load of relationship stress with A at festival. Feeling ok about the latter now, mostly. But a bit worried my poor system has finally gone caput. This is generating second-order stress about feeling stressed, which is surely not helpful! Am trying to do yoga and meditation regularly. Know I need to get on top of this, even if it's not the reason I currently feel like shit.
- Anxiety: the above really, but thinking of this as a bit more acute. Spent the last week worrying about A and me, and think may just be worn out.
- Virus: have an inner ear something or other that comes and goes. Perhaps am run down and it has taken me by force.
- Anaemic: have been taking a liquid iron supplement that usually sorts me out; also trying to eat a bit more meat. Not convinced it's this. Also, nothing showed up on recent blood test. But have felt pretty ropey before and had a clean blood test, then cured with liquid iron supplement. Lack of relief from taking supplement however suggests not this.
- Thyroid: nothing showing up on blood test again. Not entirely convinced the tests are sensitive enough.
- Lack of something in diet: what though? Am taking vast number of vitamins and supplements to try and sort it.
Would very much like to feel better now, though. Because this is rubbish.
