Has anyone else experienced extreme exhaustion? At first I thought it was probably the usual crohns symptoms sapping all the energy out of me, but now i'm starting to think it could be a nutrient/vitamin deficiency? Surely having regular diarrhoea etc. would make your body struggle to hang onto the nutrients from food?
I wake up every morning feeling like I have ran a marathon the day before, my whole body is exhausted and my muscles are sore. It feels like when you have a really bad flu and you're just bed ridden and it seems like such a huge task even just to get up and go to the toilet.
I eat a healthy, mostly vegan diet, so I don't think diet is the issue here, I try to avoid gluten too but it's just too damn tasty and I give in quite often!
I have been out of work because of it and i'm meant to be starting a new job next week, which is night work so I can sleep all day. I need to sleep 10-12 hours a night even to feel rested. I don't even know how i'm gunna be able to cope with work at the moment.
i'll probably go back to my doctor and get some blood tests and see whats going on, but it would be good to hear if anyone else has experienced this and what the problem turned out to be!
