They pretty much google your symptoms and tell you what youve probably got.

And theyve got a 14% success rate.
Our version of that just don't know how to operate Google, so they just guess sm1

Found one men service station nearby, only 180km trip there, so it is bit over week from now and I can hear more expensive guesses :mrgreen:

Sooo tired again, feeling like I could fell in sleep right away :(

I used to do a girl that had all your symptoms man and in the end all she had was an iron deficiency and clamidia.
I can only claim responsibility for the latter, and the former was put right with a few pills. Eat more broccolli dude. My moneys on your iron levels.

But I'm the Iron Man :cry:

Once upon in history I spent good two days and night playing Transport Tycoon, only drank Coca Cola, didn't eat anything or slept at all, then I had to go for regular blood testing, results were that blood values were all excellent iron specially good and from pee sample they started to ask if I drink alcohol a lot as liver values were sky high, took quite time to convince them that I never drink any alcohol. Had to drop Coca Cola then :?

Transport Tycoon...EPIC WIN!

Get to the doc, ASAP. I had to go about a man thing faaaaar more embarrassing (no...not crabs...or anything else you can catch from something young, nasty and female...chance'd be a fine thing :lol: ) last year, and once I'd actually decided to be a man about it and go and get it checked out, it was all plain sailing...all was found to be fine and dandy (well...nothing to worry about, anyway), and I was back to being a happy camper.

Best to be open about these things, so you can't build them up into something bigger than they are, right?

cheers

Ah, then you better not open these links :wink:

http://www.simutrans.com/ I prefer this one and I did warn you sm63

Last evening was odd too, I came to hotel room around 5pm, got to level into bed for relaxing legs a bit and thought that I should find something to eat, next thing I know was that clock did show 7am, no chance to eat anything at morning or during day, but just few mins ago I did finish one pizza, thinking now if I would get one more to compensate for yesterday :lol:

23rd was first available time, where my schedule and theirs meets enough close.

I drink only water, but that I need a lot as mouth dries all the time, but it has done that for years and years as my job is talking and I talk full days and full weeks so that may affect it a bit :D

I do google search "gills" and I find:
Caribbean hermit crabs have modified gills to allow them to live in humid conditions
I guess not those then :lol:

Lot of new words, but now I know what those are :D

Alcohol is for weak pussies and I'm no weak...um well normally not, sorry for pun, couldn't resist :mrgreen:

But I could lift running order redblock not too long ago and it was not too heavy, only something I wouldn't like to drop onto toe :?

Why is it us men put off going to the doctor for as long as possible, even if we're sure we've got something deadly :lol:

My personal feeling, is if your well enough to get to the doctors unaided, don't bother - If your not well enough, go to bed as there's no point dragging yourself there :P

But being sensible, it's best to get these things checked out, might be a simple fix :)

Jani, as someone with medical training I need to advise you to take your issue to somewhere other than a car forum. Honestly, go see a doctor.

I'm not even going to begin to start making guesses at a diagnosis - and don't use the internet either unless you want to freak yourself out. Sit down with a nice doctor and tell them all about it. Do it tomorrow.

We have bit of waiting queues here, also where I live, here we don't have a doctor at all (closest one is 40km away, only Tuesdays and Thursdays, other days need to travel almost 100km), so need to travel quite a bit, 23rd day I have booked time to a doctor (180km away, but luckily I'm there anyway so not much of extra travelling) and hopefully on that week I can get some answers.

Fingers crossed he doesnt ask you to come back in a week if you still feel the same.
Thats my Doctors catchphrase.

Ive had these symptoms consistently for 18 months.
Ok sir, well come back in a week and we'll see how youre feeling then.

Cheers.
