Exhausted (my musings)

Well, it's 24 hours post 6km walk (I think that's 4 miles?), and I only have 2 effects. 1 my shins are stupidly sore (I expected some soreness/stiffness), and I'm beat. I mean completely and utterly exhausted.
Now, I should explain, I've been battling a nasty cold for almost a week and 1/2 now. I was on the winning side, but it seems to have gained some power due to my exhaustion, and starting last night it took control again. ARG! So maybe that's contributing to my utter exhaustion. I feel terrible now (energy wise), but I know I'll feel worse later. So, with that in mind, I made a plan for dinner (omelette), and cut all the veggies, sauteed what needed to be sauteed, grated cheese and put it in the fridge. Now, at dinner time it will be "beat eggs, put in pan, cook, add veggies, serve". A lot less overwhelming that way. Otherwise it would likely just end up being scrambled eggs for dinner....again. LOL
But, with all that being said, the rest of me is fine. To be totally honest, I'm a bit down about that. I know that sounds stupid, but it's true. I kind of hoped something would go wrong, and then maybe this time I could get some answers. But apparently not. I'm sure I would know if that much "over doing it" was going to have an effect by now.
I'm not sick enough to be taken seriously by the people who should be listening (as my family doctor tells me), but I can't manage to get sicker either. Any ideas?
The sooner I know what I am dealing with, the sooner I can figure out what my bounderies are, and figure out how to live within them, with any treatment plan I may be on. I feel like I've been doing the "diagnosis dance" for too darn long already. Yup, for sure there's people who have had symptoms longer than my 2.5 years. But then again, without KNOWING what's wrong for sure, I can't say how long I have been having symptoms. I've had some weird stuff going on longer than that, but mostly just chalked it up to "weak, stupid muscles, prone to locking up". Maybe it's related? Maybe it's not. I don't freaking know.
Blah, I feel, for the first time in my life, like I could ACTUALLY go to bed and sleep for 24 straight hours. I've never felt that way before. Usually my fatigue is the kind that makes it next to impossible to get up and walk to the bathroom, or to bed, or where ever. LOL How many nights have I wanted to just sleep on the couch because I was too damn tired to go upstairs to bed. I didn't, but I wanted to.
Well, that's my rant for today. It's not really a rant, more of a musing.
