QuestionHi, I'm 31 years old, a mother of 3 kids, married and am working on my career as a real estate agent. For the last couple of years I just don't feel good. I ache, mostly in my right hip, knee and back. But what really is bothering me is how tired I am all the time. It doesn't matter how much I sleep or what I do physically, I am just worn out. My sex drive is gone, I think mostly because by the end of the day I just want to sleep. Is this something in my head, or is it just something that I should just deal with? Thank You for your time. Kelly
AnswerHi Kelly,
Overwhelming fatigue can be caused by many things. For instance, sleep disorders, diabetes, thyroid disease, rheumatoid diseases, connective tissue diseases and, yes, depression. The pain in your hip, knee and back may be tied to this as well. I would certainly have this evaluated.
