What Causes Chronic Fatigue Along With Alternating Constipation And Diarrhoea?

I am very frustrated. I have had multiple blood tests, and seen many doctors. No one can figure out what is wrong with me. I am ready to give up. I am a 46 active female. I have been very athletic my whole life. In the past 2 years my health has gone down hill. Doctors just keep putting me on antibiotics, so in the past 2 years I have been on antibiotics every other month. My symptoms are chronic fatigue, skin ulcers, chronic diarrhea, or horrible constipation, physical activity such a a hike or swimming laps leaves me the next day feeling horrible muscle aches so bad I can hardly move. Other symptoms include, sinus congestion, and I am prone to infection. This is not normal. ESPECIALLY the SKIN Sores. They last for at least 2 months. Can someone please help me. I am ready to give up I think it is celeac disease and has damaged my small intestines in some way.

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Increased susceptibility to infection is suggestive of low immunity or weak immune system. As you have mentioned that you have had multiple blood tests so to add on. I suggest you to get a HIV test along with CD 4 and CD 8 counts.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
