Suffering from fatigue, exhaustion, muscle aches, etc

[Kbas2]

Hello, I'm a 28 year old male. Over the past couple years my health has been steadily deteriorating.

Physical Issues:
- Weight gain. 1-2 years gained 40lbs. (Now closing in on 295lbs)
- Unable to lose weight. Cut calories, ate better food, worked out with a trainer 4-5 days a week, 2.5 hours a day for a month and lost 2lbs. Muscle gain did not account for the lack of weight loss.
- knee pain (for 4-5 years). X-rays came back negative.
- legs are constantly overheated, and warm to the touch.
- exhaustion, all the time. To the point where it affects my life.
- no interest in anything due to always being tired.
- caffeine has no effect. Never drank coffee in my life, but started drinking black coffee and had no effect.
- constantly feeling 'I can't', whenever something comes up.

Doctors suggestions:

-Doctor treated this as depression. I went on Celexa for 5 months and all that did was make things worse. Increased weight gain, more tired, more emotional, more depressed.
- I also saw a psychologist for about 10 sessions, but this was not very effective as I didn't have any specific trauma events.
- blood work and urine came back normal. No thyroid issues, no diabetes, nothing.

I keep trying to get healthy, but I can't shake this 'cloudy' feeling and exhaustion all the time.

I don't know if anyone can think of what this could be? I know I need to get more active, but like I said above my body and mind keep telling me 'I can't'...and no amount of caffeine helps.

Sounds a lot like my symptoms and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after years of thinking I was going nuts.  I'm almost back to my old self, be aware of what you eat, for me this was a huge turning point. Sugar is a poison IMO.

Ok thanks. I had blood work done in September, but no idea if the doctor checked those things specifically. All he would say is that 'everything looked normal, except platelets were a little low'

I'll make another appointment to see if those were part of the tests.

Have blood work done to check:

25 OH Vitamin D
Magnesium RBC
Serum Vitamin B12


Some Deficiency symptoms are:
Fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, muscle weakness, brain fog, body/bone pain, headaches, dizziness...etc

Lab range for D3 is 30-100ng/mL
Must be above 50 though
Optimal range is 60-80ng/mL

B12 needs to be above 500
But closer to 800 is better
