Hi,
I am an athlete who has basically been lord of the freakish & random sports injury. I am currently 42 y/o and overall, I'd say I've had 5-6 concussions in my lifetime, neither of which any fault of my own. Believe me, clumsy people and objects (baseball, hockey stick, etc.) seem to zero in on my head in the most ridiculous of incidents.

I would like to hear what you all have to say about the fact that I have more than normal fatigue symptoms daily, I don't sleep well, and I feel like I lose concentration & patience at work. My fatigue is what concerns me the most. I don't at all like feeling tired & sore, especially since I enjoy being very active. My fatigue is most prevalent in my legs. I have played sports my entire life and thought maybe it could be as a result of my body finally starting to wear down. But, I just think that I shouldn't be feeling like this all the time. My muscles do not just ache, they feel extremely lethargic as if they hold no energy in them.

Please advise any thoughts or suggestions, I appreciate your time.

I am having bloodwork done soon, my dr. is more focused on what may come from the results re: the thyroid. However, I have not yet had this conversation with him as I have just arrived at the possibility that these symptoms could have something to do with the multiple concussions I've suffered.

What should I expect him to advise if he feels the concussions may play a role in how I feel and what type of treatments are available?
