Debilitating body weakness and fatigue

Posted , 18 users are following.

Hello everyone. I am new here and am looking for anyone who may have experienced what I am currently going through.

Last year I got my last period ( was in perimenopause for 6 years prior), and a chronic sinus infection at the same time. After a quick decline in health over the following 5 weeks, I woke up one morning to have all the energy and strength sucked right out of me. It was so scary!! I had many that's, all show no health issues so far. I have improved alot since then ( though it was pretty hell), and now I am in full menopause since I have been period free now for 16 months. I am 46 and never had health issues before. I am getting my hormone levels checked out next week. I was just wondering since this infection and last period happened at the same time..could this have caused my huge crash in strength and fatigue?

Any insight would be appreciated. I am losing my mind trying to cope and also figure out what happened.

    Hi Dee

    I had sinus issues like that that left me feeling more and more fatigued, but they were at the beginning of perimenopause and didn't come on suddenly. I would probably mark the sinus thing as the beginning of my perimenopause experience, right before the head pressure and tightness. Since I had always had allergies, I didn't connect it at the time but I see it now.
