hi all,

I had my abdominal hysterectomy to remove fibroids at the end of August 2018, I returned to teaching yr 5 in primary school in February. Had a long slow recovery but was back exercising, running 5k and feeling good (apart from needing a 45min nap some days)

I'm a job share and since returning my partner has been unwell so even though I'm only in the class 3 days I bring a lot home and plan/prep for the days I'm not in.

I haven't exercised since returning to work, I'm exhausted all the time, is this normal??

Anyone else in the same boat? I have to nap every evening after making tea before I can do anything else. I'm 44 and used to marathon train after work - now I can just about walk the dog!

Is this in my head? Maybe I've just got used to less activity as felt unwell from last February?

My mum is in her 70's and still works, more energy than me! Any advice / similar experiences welcome.

Thank you

    Thanks folks.

    mood has been good but energy low.

    assumed iron would be fine as no longer bleeding but have been prone to anaemia so will get that checked x
