Hey everyone...so i am about 6 days out from my period. I woke up yesterday and today feeling pretty good but about 10:30 this morning BAM extreme fatigue has literally hit me like a ton of bricks, my eyes are burning and i can barely keep them open. Im trying to push through but is this normal??

Hi Kelly, I think it is normal. I got hit last week with a sudden wave of weakness and fatigue. Started my period yesterday. Seriously have been like a dead person since. I got up at 6 am...did whatever I could to straighten up, get my kid off to school...yeah, around 10 am was ready to pass out! Sorry you are dealing with this too...I am 41 and ready to dig a hole and crawl in.

i had terrible fatigue and thought it was meno as it turns out i have epstein barr with mono ... i knew my fatigue was more severe than any of the other ladies experienced . i went to a few different drs and researched it myself and demanded a test . turns out epstein barr can reactivate during hormone drop.

thats how mine was, Lou.... i would sit in the rocking chair and think "please don't make me walk across the room right now" 😦 then i would have to muster up some sort of energy to do laundry and drive my daughter to soccer practice... when all I could think about was lying down...

thanks Pam! That is exactly how I am. I hate right now that my house has stairs! My mind started to wander again...as it always does when it hits! Also, have the mother of all lower back pain today...probably contributing to it. This song keeps popping in my head today...❤

Yep... I go thru phases where I'm napping and in PJ's all day.. Then it passes for awhile.. I've had blood work done and I'm good with all that so it must be hormones. Be kind to yourself, drink water, take your supplements and hopefully it will pass soon.
