I've been reading thru this thread. Last Sept I had my thyroid removed. I got to feeling terrible almost same symptoms as I'm reading about. Ended up in the emergency room. They checked my calcium and it was low. They gave me an IV bag of calcium and those symptoms disappeared. Couple weeks ago the doctor changed my calcium prescription from 20 MG and tums daily to 40 MG and 1 tums daily. Felt good till yesterday when I started blacking out. I took a tums and it went away. Todayi had the same thing happen took an extra tums and felt better. Have them Check your calcium level.

It sounds like you need to schedule another appointment for yourself too Sir.

Interesting! I’ll see if they did that in April!!!

Make sure they know you're a vet tech and check you for zoonotic diseases, that most other people wouldn't be tested for.

From your symptoms of feeling "feeling cruddy, achy and very tired", Bartonellosis, which causes fever, fatigue, headache, and body aches, seems most likely. It's commonly carried by cats and is often referred to as cat scratch fever.

Hang in there, there are more aches, pains and ailments to come, sorry but that the truth. Keep up with your Dr.s apts and heed their advice. Trapping season is around the corner. All those aches and pains, feelings of lethargy will go away when you see that fox bouncing around in your trap.

Keeping plugging away!

It's true and it's a thing. My daughter had cat s scratch fever when she was a kid. I alway just thought uncle Ted was singing about effect of Girls before that.

What is Ted endorsing now since Sears is no longer a company in theory? Make America GREAT Again!

Yea, got one for next week. I'm trying to make it thru the trapping season at least!

I had a poor diet for years it never seemed to bother me until I hit my 60s then the wheels came off. (It was a great run!) LOL Now a normal diet is my saving grace it’s made all the difference. I stopped eating sugar and drinking Aspartame products and I’m back to feeling better and active again.

Aspartame adds 30 years to my body with the aches and pains it brings even 1 can of pop daily brings on the joint pains. I’ve been working on a building repair the last couple months daily in the high heat and humidity both things I can’t stand a year ago I couldn’t have done it.

Another idiot from MN, I'll give you the credit you deserve, you're right you don't have anything clever to say. You would probably do everyone a favor if you didn't say anything at all.

Nate 160 is probably just funnin’………..
I think?!?

Hope you get it figured out, it’s amazing what can cause pain, arthritis can be hard to figure out what flares it as it may not be noticeable right away.

Try Raisin Bran or Frosted Flakes. Heck, even a wicker swing set. Anything with fiber should loosen you up a little.

Oh don’t tell me you stumbled into the shroom patch again!

Oh you Lunkhead!!!!

So I was having some of the same issues. Dr finally suggested I donate blood. That helped more than anything else. My blood was getting to thick. The first time it was boarderline whether or not they could use. Go every 3 months now and feel better.

How are you coming with your health Smash?

I’m negative for Lyme and RH factor. Still waiting on thyroid. It’s ridiculous the wait time
