Tired & Sore
I've been really tired & sore lately. I feel like my body has the flu, but I only have a slight temperature. I had mono over the summer. It still shows up on my blood test, but my doctor said that's normal. I am a bit underweight. I'm approximately 5'7-5'9 range & weigh 116-118 lbs. All of my joints, bones, & muscles ache. This has been a consistent thing, but I usually can go through the school day fine. I was thinking of taking a day off, because it's really becoming tiring. Usually, if I don't nap at least twice a day & get 8 hours of sleep, it becomes much worse. It hurts to even type. My arms & legs ache & it's been pretty bad for the last few days. My parents think if it doesn't improve that I should go to the ER. Would this be a good idea or should I wait it out? The fatigue has been happening for a few months, but it was never this bad. I'm afraid to go, because people give me a difficult time about my weight. I do eat, except I have a fast metabolism & I get full very easily. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions?? Anyone ever have this problem?? Any ideas?? Thanks!!

I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, but is there an underlying reason, noone knows about, for not wanting to go to the E.R.? I would think about going for many reasons. First, being tired at such a young age could be a sign of something more seriously wrong than you think. Secondly, if your problem just keeps getting worse, then you may risk your health and even your life if you don't seek treatment, and could have been cured way before this. I am not neccessarily sure if you would have to go to the emergency room. I would suggest going to your primary doctor for an exam and blood test first. Just remember, there is only one you, take care of yourself. You may find it is something as small as sleep apnea that keeps you from getting deep sleep at night. You'll never know though, unless you go to the doctor to find out. Good Luck!!
