I'm a new member,and more than anything I want to empathise with you(and Nicky)I have been through all this for years,all the same syptoms apart from the nausea and tummyache.
I did wonder however if you're on any medication,or currently withdrawing any medication.I'm on paroxetine(seroxat) which usually helps,but does give me that foggy headed tired feeling you describe.Also if you were withdrawing it these symptoms worsen,in my experience,and I had then the weakness and sore joints that you have now,as well as this weird dizzy feeling when I move my head.Are you on any medication? Just a thought.
Hope you find the answer soon,just wanted to say you're not alone,and I understand how you feel.
Ive suffered from depression and anxiety for a long time. I have a foggy head, bouts of no energy, sometimes loss of coordination, nauseousness a lot, stomach ache for weeks now, muscles soreness and joint aches and pains.

Hi Idiotsavant
A friend of mine was suffering similar symptoms to yours, I had not been happy about the amount of diet coke etc that she was drinking, so I did a bit on searching around for info to see if they might be causing any of her problems.
Side effects of Aspartame (in most sugar free drinks, a lot of sweets, cakes, biscuits, ready meals and many other things) include:
Splenda (sucralose) gives my son stomach cramps and diarrhoea. It is dreadful stuff, you may want to research it, although Tate & Lyle have blocked some sites about it to UK web users!
Within a couple of days after cutting out all artificial sweetners she felt a lot better and now has no depression or stomach aches.
It might be worth a try giving up the artificial sweeteners for a couple of weeks to see if that helps, it won't cost you anything.
Whatever you try I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hi, I totally feel for you. I have some of your symptoms, but I highly doubt if you are having depression or psychological disorders. They are too easy excuses. While you are searching any alternative solutions, I recommen you go though some basic tests, e.g., problem with your thyroid gland problem, anemia, etc.. Some problems like these can cause many of the symptoms you described. Hang on there. I am also searching for my solutions. I am suffering from chronic headache, dizziness, weakness, and depression (doctors suspect), and there are no reasons to have these psycholgical disorders. I have decided to search for physical anwers, but also use taichi and yoga to improve my mental ability. Though modern medicine can go a long way, mis-diagnosis makes the healing process too long and sometimes mis-directed. All the best,

Hi Idiotsavant,
I have had exactly the same symptoms for years so I stongly empathise with you and want to see you feeling better. I got going on the Paleolithic diet. About 1 week later I was feeling fantastic, completely different with almost no symptoms at all, more energy, clear thinking, improved short term memory and concentration, reduced muscle aches and no depression. Type "introduction to paleolithic diet" into google and open the first web page option given.
All the best,
Phil
