The fatigue has been a long term issue, but the chronic pain has been less long term. More like the last few years. It's mostly in the joints. Hips, neck, shoulders. We've talked to medical doctors, natural doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, and pretty much everyone else. She hasn't seen a rheumatologist yet, but that's her next stop, I think. You can imagine her frustration, though, at not getting much improvement.
Any thoughts on this? FWIW, she's fit, otherwise healthy, and eats well. She used to exercise daily, but lately hasn't been able to as much with the pain. It's not debilitating, but it's near constant. She also struggles with depression (medicated) and anxiety, but these are managed fairly well. Several years ago I posted about this when she was convinced she had leaky gut syndrome. She went on a strict diet and it cleared up the stomach pains she was having, but these other issues have lingered or presented since then.
