Corner for adult men and their issues (PG-30)

Good day fellow beings

I thought of asking one rather personal question. Do you sometimes feel weak? Like being out of steam and lifting car keys feels like them would weith hundred pounds?

I do, every time when I don't take those Omega 3 pills I will have about 0 strength. Now I'm curious why this happens as it certainly is not because of those pills as situation can be same for month if I don't take them, but when I take them I feel more like normal again.

It is so bad that without them I really can't lift much or do much either, have to stop and breathe like after running.

Is this some kind of mens trouble that old people get?

I'm not yet that old, I guess

[volvosneverdie]

I only ever eat meat, and only ever drink fresh spring water from a ladies shoe, or stella from a cold tin.

And I can pick up an entire house.

Probably anyway.

Isnt omega three made from fishes bums?

[sven360]

I'm old but never feel weak,fortunately, I'm massive though.

With your symptoms I'd say you're a diabetic-drink 10 cans of Coke-not diet mind ya, and report back.

[jtbo]

With my habits it would not be any miracle that I would have some kind of diabetic condition

Yea, Omega 3 is fish liver oil, good for your heart and I have found that it does give some kind of energy boost too, but current situation is just ridiculous

[Edcase 300]

haha hey man- i was feeling like that a lot recentl y
it could be a number of things-maybe its down to stress which is taxing you of energy i think this is known as adrenal fatigue sometimes.i was suffering from that recently when i made the choice to leave uni at the end of the first year and am now doing engineering with a load of 16-18 year olds haha!life eh?

mind you-it could be anything-i know what you mean about omegas and vitamins-i take them and they seem to help.avoid too much coffee and sugar though-as that was what was killing

hmmm go to the doctor man and make sure they pay attention to what ur telling them-it cant harm to just be sure!
hope ur cars are well!

[germ]

phycosymatic? - you believe the pills do you actual real good thus giving you the feeling? you havent got ME have you? this gives simular symptoms.

I have up and down days (everyone does? ) omega 3 / cod liver oil i find is good for my cracky joints and giving me a bad toilet experience..

Hope is nothing serious jani. Dr germ recomends volvo 300 driving as much as possible and rest when not

*Disclaimer-im not a doctor and you should deffinatly seek medical advise just to make sure all is well.

[jtbo]

Should not be stress as I had just had 2 months of vacation as I felt bit tired and asked to have bit time of my own, it really did not help and that is something I found odd.

I'm afraid that it could be diabetes or cancer, but it could be something much simpler, so I guess I need to see doctor just to be sure it is nothing serious.

Cars are fine, 360 would just need bit of work, just need to do bit of work to get some income so I can build it on vacation at summer

Germ, I thought of that plasebo effect too, but don't know, difference is so huge and I really don't think those pills should have much of effect. Oh yes, peeing has some extra odour when one takes those pills (old farts always talk from WC and fluids )

Need to do some work for 360 and then I should pay tax and MOT, just got note that I have forgotten to pay tax from it But should get it on road for summer

[volvosneverdie]

Get to the docs anyway dude. Might be an iron deficiency or something real simple.
Dont want you deteriorating on us.
I enjoy your interesting rants far too much.

[sven360]

I'm afraid that it could be diabetes or cancer

WTF.

You my friend need PMA.Positive mental attitude as prescribed by Kriss Akabusi.

He was once a midget with one leg 6" longer than the other but by the PMA method he grew to 7'2" and both legs were the same length.
As a result of this he later won Olympic medals for athletics.DYOR.

Alternatively, try this 3 times a day with liquid.I'd recommend vodka.

If none of the above works consult a physician.

[jtbo]

With my irregal eating and sleeping it could be about anything, whatever it is, at least it does not kill, well instantly at least

But it is affecting bit too much to everyday work when some days going to shop is like running green mile or something

Oi, don't need vodka or anything like those, them are for pussies that can't face life straight and clear, so only liquid I'm getting is water

Can see a doctor after month or so, too busy meanwhile, so have to just try to manage squeeze that bit of extra push, shouldn't be too hard if I just remember to take those fish pills (which still puzzles me as those should not have such magic powers, like those blue ones have, which I don't know nothing of)

[d3k4y0]

I'm not a doctor, but I have seen every episode of House...

To me it sounds like it could possibly be a couple of things,
Given what you've said about irregular eating and so on, it could possibly be Type II diabetes, although at your age (ie. under 40) it would be less likely. Type II is the non-insulin dependent version of diabetes, and very manageable with a bit of attention to your diet and activities.
The other thing that strikes me has already been mentioned, and that is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or M.E.) which is more serious, but still manageable. Other things that would indicate this are more flu-like symptoms (sore throat, shortness of breath desire to curl up in a ball... but I think we all get that!) and difficulties with concentration and memory (also depression/anxiety are symptomatic too).

My advise is to go and see a doctor asap, it's clearly worrying you, and that wont help you in your day-today activities. Don't leave it until "you've got the time". If it's worrying you enough for you to discuss it with us, then I'd recommend taking a day off this week and going... if nothing else, it will get you some peace of mind when he tells you that it's nothing to worry about and shouts at you for taking snake-oil!

All the best.

[jtbo]

House, hmm wasn't that part of became a doctor in 45 days kit?

You are very right, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome does look scaringly like me really, didn't know such exists, but what I did gather from various sources it could be that.

Let's see then what doc says, I'm just afraid they don't take it seriously

[d3k4y0]

They will absolutely take you seriously. If it's something you deem important enough for you to go and speak to someone about, then it's definitely something that a doctor would take seriously. Half a doctor's day is taken up with re-assuring people, and if it is nothing to worry about then they will be able to put your mind at ease. At the end of the day, that's all you want.
The worst thing you can do is let it worry you, and then scare yourself by reading diagnoses on the internet (I can assure you, if you were to search for pretty much any symptom you could find someone saying that it could be cancer, rabies or syphilis!)

I would say this about absolutely anything, if a symptom worries you enough to be googling it, it's worth getting a professional opinion on!

[jtbo]

Sure, but as I got some memory trouble first time and went to doctor, they did test and then say that I imagine them, but my spaghetti on stove did not imagine that it would left alone for hour....

Also it was required to take shirt off and get breathing sounds and some other stuff checked, I never knew memory is in my tummy. So I don't really trust them.

Perhaps it is better to see private doctor, there I can at least ask something back from huge sum of money I pay to them.

[volvosneverdie]

Ring NHS direct in the UK.
They pretty much google your symptoms and tell you what youve probably got.

And theyve got a 14% success rate.
