Feeling really unwell all the time what's wrong with me?
Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old british female and it has been for about 6/7 months now that I have been feeling really unwell all the time. I don't know what is wrong with me. I constantly keep getting flu like symptoms, like headache, fever, really bad muscle and bone pain especially in my legs, runny nose and chesty cough and also swollen glands now and then. I am sick of it now because I have it constantly its like I don't even last a week being normal. I have been to the doctors a couple of times too and they took some blood tests and told me that I am anemic and have vitamin D deficiency but to me that's out of the question because they had done these tests in may 2012 and I had been taking the medicine that they prescribed me with and was starting to feel really good and normal in fact stronger. When I started my second year at college in September I was also feeling normal and healthy up until October time when I started to feel really unwell all the time. I am still taking the medicine which my doctor has provided me with although I feel as if it makes me feel worse because it is the strongest dose of iron tablets that he has prescribed me but I continue to take them because I have no other option seen as he said I am really low in iron.
Now that I have that cleared, more about my symptoms. I feel really uneasy and unwell all the time, I constantly keep getting a flu and I will get well for a few days then have it again. I have lost a lot of weight as well which is really starting to depress me because I can't eat anything at all. I feel hungry and want to eat but I can't because if I try to eat something I will take a few bites and feel full up and sick and can't eat anymore no matter how hard I try. I eat literally 1 meal a day and even that I can't complete I take a few bites and feel really full up. I also feel really weak and sleepy all the time which is causing me to have a bad attendance and punctuality in college and I am an a level student which is not good for my record because although my tutors are very understanding it is about the college and its reputation which I fully agree with, and it is not like me to be missing so many days and attending late all the time. I also have extremely bad pains in my body, especially in my legs and it feels like it is in my bones. I have pain in my upper body also, which is just below my rib cage going into my back and it feels like a stitch. These pains are really bad I end up crying when I get them.
All of this is really beginning to depress me. I feel so worried all the time wondering what can be wrong and I just want to be well again. I feel as if no one is willing to listen or help because the doctors keep trying to get rid of me saying there is nothing wrong keep taking your medicine :( I feel really upset all the time and its like I have no happiness or meaning to my life... I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with some advice or aiding in what I should do or what could be wrong. Thank you.. I look forward to hearing from you.
p.s I am not sexually active so I can't be pregnant and I don't take any sort of contraception or other pills apart from the iron tablets and vitamins my doctor has provided me with.
