What Could Cause Severe Fatigue With Night And Day Sweats?
I have severe fatigue, when I eat (especially in the morning) I get physically sick and have to lay down. I have day and night sweats and have had for the last few years. The fatigue is getting so that I can t go or do much of anything without being on the verge of collapse. I am 67 years old and have no medical problems that my doctor can find, and she doesn t seem to be concerned that I have these symptoms. What is wrong with me.
