Hi , I would suggest the following tests to start with: Complete blood count, Thyroid function test ( T3, T4, TSH), Serum cortisol, Serum ACTH, serum sodium and potassium , Random blood sugar, Serum calcium and phosphorus, Vitamin D level , Parathyroid hormone test, FSH, LH , Antinuclear antibody test (ANA), Rheumatoid factor (RF) test, Chlamydiae pneumoniae Ig M level
I have suggested both blood cell tests , hormone tests, immunological tests, so that we can find out if you have some endocrine ( hormone ) or immune related problem. Such problems can be corrected if they are present. If no abnormality is found we can assume that you are suffering from Chronic fatigue syndrome. Yes , I understand that it is debilitating and affects personal & professional life. The current evidence base says that for a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome, Antibiotics may be used in patients with elevated immunoglobulin M (IgM) Chlamydia pneumoniae titers. You may try Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days and see if that helps you. You may also try aerobic exercises at a good gym with a motivational instructor. These exercises should be done in a graded manner according to your fitness level. You may start with short brief aerobic sessions for a few minutes and proceed according to your comfort levels. Such exercises build an overall sense of well being and optimism. It is important to keep an optimistic spirit because that helps us to gradually overcome any uncomfortable situation. If it is acceptable to you culturally/ personally you may also try alternative healing therapy such as yoga / taichi etc. Such techniques also build a positive spirit which improves our sense of health & well being. Best regards
