I hate going to the DR, and I can't really afford it. There have been several times I have gone for different problems and they just send me home telling me there is nothing they can do for me. Of course I still pay the 45-75$

Anyway...are these symptoms worth going through all that?

Fatiuge
Difficulty sleeping
Joint pain
Loss of ability to concentrate
Loss of appitite
Moodiness
General feeling of ickyness

This has been going on for at least 2 maybe 3 weeks now.

Is it worth going to the Dr?

If I do go, what tests should I expect? (Or request, if he just looks me over, tells me I'm fine, and tries to send me home)

I think those symptoms should warrent a doctors visit. It could be anything from stress to thyroid disorder or whatever. I would at the very least call your doctor and see what they say. Hope you get feeling better soon. Sam

Yup. Go to the doctor and get a check up but also ask for blood tests for, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Lyme's Disease, and ask about Fibromyalgia. Do you also have any muscle soreness? Swelling of joints? Weight loss due to the loss of appetite? It is always a good idea to write down everything you can think of that has been bothering you or hurting and bring the list with to the doctor. That way you won't forget anything.

I tried to include this link with my last post but it didn't work.

You don't mention your age, but is it possible that you are starting menopause? These are quite likely symptoms.

I would find a good rheumatoidologist and ask him about fibromyalgia. I have this and have been very succesfully treated for it. good luck.( the other suggestions people have are all good posabilities.

I certainly HOPE this isn't the case! I'm 24

Hi Kat,

Well as mentioned above these symptoms can mean any number of disorders.

I get this same list of symptoms when I have walking pnemonia.

Now if this is something that has started after changing diet, work habits or even starting a exercise routine, that may very well be the cause.

I mention this because you have expressed in a number of posts a desire to change your diet.

If you haven't, then my dear, it is time to see that darn old doctor.

My prayers are with you.

Cheers
David

Definitely see the darn doctor. If you have been to the doctor and he just sends you home with a bill and no help, perhaps you should try a different doctor. Those symptomes could be anything at all, you should really see a doctor.
