I swear ... don’t think I’m gonna make it through this

Rough day could have been asleep by 4.30pm . White as a ghost no! Correction actually I look grey! I could go haunting houses.
My bday is coming up and I know everybody will be asking me ‘what you doing ?’ I can’t do anything ! Even when I get enough sleep I eat dinner go very faint and tired and crash.
There seems to be no answers ? How long does this last ? Why did I feel so great for months before this crash ?
How can you combat the fatigue and have somewhat of a life ?
Thinking of checking myself into Mayo Clinic .... I have been very patient I’ve had 3 months of this . I keep thinking something else is wrong but I guess when I hear that one lady took 6 months off work ... it’s probably all hormones . I honestly felt like smashing up the whole house tonight ! I’m so fed up and this is so unfair !!!!!

I mean men have viagra and many other prescriptions for their erectile dysfunction and all these are advertised on tv . Why aren’t menopause medications advertised on tv ?

Thank you for your positivity . I’m at such a low point and have no life. Yes I can’t nap anymore either no matter how tired I am I think just nervous about everything. How long did your fatigue last ? It’s driving me crazy and making me depressed as can’t have a social life and just waiting until 7.30pm so I can go to bed.

I feel your pain! I decided to overhaul my life style and whilst it wasn’t always easy it has helped with deal with the set backs! Exercise is a must it gives you more energy and really does help get the endorphins flowing. Also have you tried taking vitamin b complex and magnesium? I’ve also started taking evening primrose oil and probiotics which have all helped. Try to eat as healthy as possible with treats of course 😜 and limited sugar, caffeine and alcohol. One thing that has really helped and I swear by is acupuncture I initially had a 6 week course once a week now I just have maintenance of 1 session every 3-4 weeks. Don’t get me wrong I still have episodes but I’m able to manage it all a lot better but doing all these things and it’s helped me get my life back. Meditation is also really good! Good luck xx

Yes I’m very healthy and workout a lot my body is ripped but I think that may part of the problem as I can’t stop exercising .... I love it .
I think my adrenals are fried as before I ‘crashed’ I worked out hard for 2 months no days off. I could do it and wasn’t ever tired then everything changed .
I eat very healthy and all my blood work cane back good apart from need more salt and more b12 which I’m doing .
Being ready for bed at 4.30 pm is no life though.

Hi Mary
Yes getting cortisol done tomorrow I went today but it has to be done between 7-9 am .
I love to workout and that’s all I have right now in my life . I did research on cortisol and adrenals and it said hormone treatment is required . So I’m on the HRT patch a week now . I guess hormone inbalance affects adrenals so it’s all tied together . It’s such a labrynth of information . Researching and learning . The days and months are passing by and so desperate to have my life back 😩

I so feel for you Lori, I too cancelled my birthday this year as I honestly just couldn't cope with it... I also keep cancelling plans and outings as I kind of panic as I know I won't cope with them!
My friends feel so much more energetic and it's awful to think I used to be the most energetic of all of us... now I struggle to get up. The fatigue is crippling.
I just started taking B Complex, multivits/minerals + fish oils, hoping it may make a slight difference.
Also just started on ANOTHER regime of HRT... early days.
It's terrible but I just pray that after it passes we will all regain some of our former energy back again - but in the meantime, you're not alone darling. Stay positive and just do what you can. ??
AJ. xx

So sorry to you had to cancel your birthday that really is a bummer. I just tell people I am ill now as I believe if something is preventing you from doing things it’s a illness ! I also had to cancel my trip to Europe .
Glad you’re doing HRT I’m just starting on 2nd week . I’m doing everything to supplements exercise healthy eating . That’s all we can do right now .

I know how you feel. I have wondered how I can be so tired, sick,anxious, and without joy.and still exist. Especially when I have so many wonderful things in my life! My symptoms improved so much after bhrt. I’m not 100%, but the good news is that my peri symptoms (especially the mood swings) can be bad in the morning, but great just a few hours later. When I hear about a woman of peri age having a road rage incident, or making drastic changes in their life, or anything seemingly uncharacteristic, I think....yep, it’s the hormones! 😂
