ME/OTS
I'm a keen runner 60-70m a week is normal.
On 17 March 2015 I got a sore throat 3 days before a race and felt fatigued ( I put it down to training hard) 3 days later a little tired but ok I raced 20 miles (a regular distance for me) and felt good and had a good race followed by sore throat and fatigue on and off in 3-5 day cycles ...then ran a sub 3 hour marathon (felt harder than it should but a decent run) followed by fatigue/sore throat on/off for a couple of months.... I saw the dr, had loads of bloods done ....WBC was low and dropped each test then in October it returned to normal (virus was the diagnosis) I felt fine a week before and a week after the last test and had returned running then hit a wall again sore throat returned (constant now) and the fatigue also. I decided to take a month out of training (still feel tired/lathargic) then I ran a slow 2 mile and woke on the Friday morning with my throat feeling awful and it returned to the normal sore/swollen feeling today (Saturday)
My symptoms are
• sore throat
•tiredness fatigue
• sensitive eyes to sunlight
• hearing has changed
• I feel the cold more
• decreased sex drive
• frequent urination
• mood swings
•loss of concentration
• low pulse 41-47 bpm
My dr has referred me to a fatigue clinic but I'm hoping he'll explore OTS/adrenal fatigue....but reading this it sounds like my symptoms plus The run/crash cycle seems similar.
Can you help or advice what I can do please?
Thanks Gary
