Sleep

[dk1136]

Hi all I've been extremely tired, the littlest things I do just exhaust me, I have to go back to bed everyday for a couple of hours, anyone else experience this?

Sending hugs to all x

[RD_Choirgirl]

Yes. In fact I'm lying in bed now! I'm very worried how I'm going to cope when I start university in October as I won't be able to go to bed during lunch as I'll be too far away from my accommodation!

I'm exactly the same at the moment. Endo totally drains you. It's so hard for other people to understand that aren't going through it. Wishing you better soon x

thank you micheb, hope you too get better soon x

Hi Hun.

I'm the same I am sleeping at some point each day. I'm trying not to as much now as I can't sleep when I go to bed at night that's when all my symptoms get awful and keep me awake or wake me in the night. It's so draining. Even if I don't sleep in the day I'm just laying on sofa as I have no energy 😣 xx

[dk1136 in reply to Mummy1982]

Glad I'm not alone then lol x

[Mummy1982 in reply to dk1136]

No you aren't this thing just seems to zap all your energy. How long Have you had endo?x

[dk1136 in reply to Mummy1982]

been suffering for 2 - 3 years but got confirmation when my hormone injections worked so end of march i knew for certain. x

[Mummy1982 in reply to dk1136]

Oh poor you hun. I've been in chronic pain for about a year and and half only just for a diagnosis of endo and Adenomyosis so that's pretty crappy aswell x

[Micheb]

Boooo to Endo 😫😡

[ShanJ]

I've been the same for years

But these last few weeks it's switched I only have a few hours sleep a day And I work nights so I'm super exhausted . It will soon catch up on me as I'm used to sleeping all day and night on my days off x

aw bless ya x

I feel exhausted a lot- pain really wears you down and the emotional drain of it all doesn't help. Keep smiling and treat yourself well.

God yes!! I've found I've had no energy for a while now, and i get horrible brain-fog during the day as my brain seems to just go to sleep!! I wake up at 5.45 every morning for work, but every single night (even weekends) I'm in bed by 9 at the very very latest, thats if i haven't fallen asleep on the sofa already!!

Ive been to my GP who did blood tests, but she just said its more than likely Endo related, as are so many other symptoms!! I wish i had an easy answer to cure the tiredness, but nothing as of yet

[dk1136 in reply to Emma-louise]

Yeah I've had bloods done to check if its something else, I go bed between 9and10 and up between 6and7 I'm off to bed now for a couple of hours I'm just drained x

[Emma-louise in reply to dk1136]

I know the feeling I think its really common though unfortunately, we just have to listen to our bodies!! x

[Heidi11]

Hiya you certainly aren't alone, I've suffered all my life but only had a diagnosis last year and I always wondered why I felt so fatigued. It really is a horrible disease to deal with as people just don't understand. I am at Uni but have missed so much time with being ill that I am looking at repeating this year. I wish you all the best for your course xx

[Chopples]

I definitely feel the same way! I think it's to do with the inflammatory process of endometriosis, pain and hormones. Currently on my 7 day break after tricycling the pill. Naturally, the pain is a lot worse and bleeding heavier. I try fight it but I've not managed to stay awake beyond 8pm after managing being at work all day. It makes me feel guilty as I then don't have much of an evening with my boyfriend but he's very supportive.

I don't think anyone can truly understand unless they have endometriosis. I just try eat healthily and rest when I can but make sure I'm productive when I have the energy. We have to listen to our bodies xx
