I'm tired all the time! Exhausted in fact, could fall to sleep standing!! Is this related to my endo?

Waiting to have lap op soon. Will I feel less tired after my recovery? All my vitamin/mineral/hormone levels are fine, I eat well and have enough sleep, I exercise but I'm sooooo tired all the time! Miserable and fed up! Will it ever end? :(

Hi MBlackham, I felt similar to you all blood tests normal my doctor wanted to refer me to get my adrenals tested maybe you could push for that ? While I was waiting for the test I got stung by a wasp and it rebooted everything, quite strange even my gp was puzzled. X

You would know if it was fatigue from your adrenal glands! My daughter had adrenal problems and her blood pressure would drop severely low towards a coma and she vomited up to 17 times a day! She was regularly rushed to hospital for life saving steroids.

Hi MBlackham,I am the same. Very tired and exhausted even tho I eat very healthy food, sleep lots and drink plenty of water and tea. My blood levels have also been fine but I had a lap done yesterday and they found lots of Endo. Most of it got removed but they left some in my tubes which they couldn't unblock and the ovaries as well.

I find that I feel a lot better during summer when its warm and brighter outside for longer. Winter is the worst time of the year for me. I hope you will find some help soon. xx

Summer is much better yes. I get so sick and dizzy and pass out quite often, all because of the pain :( Hope they get rid of the majority of the endo. Hoping it'll help me get pregnant also as not had any success yet :( Though we're obviously not trying until after the op now.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Push your GP to have blood tests for thyroid, diabetes, liver function and kidneys. I am no expert but it sounds like you could have under active thyroid or diabetes. Good luck and do not let GP fob you of with medication to see if this works or that works.

I've had all of them to and they're clear.

Thanks though :)
