What Causes Fatigue And Constant Body Aches?

Hi I have no energy & sleep 12 hours or more & my bones ache constantly. The doctor said I had a virus, but this has been going on too long. I am 68 & both my parents had strokes two years ago. I have been spending every other week travelling 200 miles to stay & look after Dad as mum was in hospital for a year. They are both now in a Home. Do you think that I am just run down?

Hi,

Noted teh history about a 68 years old person taking care of dad, going 200 miles every week, no energy and bones ache constantly.
Yes, this can be due to excessive work for the fitness or age or may be due to some disease or vitamins deficiencies particularly of Vitamin D.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
it is always better to get physical check up along with routine and specific investigations of blood, urine, stool, X-ray chest and Ultrasonography to know whether there is any treatable cause and get treated accordingly.
Since your parents are in a Home you can relax for a while and get rest.
You can get proper supplements as per the findings and you will be fine.
Also avoid stress and anxiety as is common with the problems you are facing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
