Chronic fatigue? Any advice?

[Gingerblah]

Hello all,

I have been reading your posts and most of you suffer from severe endo pain. I have suspected stage 4 endometriosis and although I don't have constant pain I have really debilitating fatigue. Do any of you suffer from this? It's so bad I cannot get out of bed in the mornings and simple activities tire me out. I make myself walk my dog three times a day and find that I have to rest in between. I am waiting for a laproscopy and am hoping that this will help with the fatigue. Have any of you experienced an improvement in fatigue after a laproscopy?

Look forward to your replies,

Best wishes

Hello Lindle,

Thanks for that useful information. I do suffer from brain fog, memory loss and dizziness so that makes sense! As it's an autoimmune disease it sounds like that I need to look at other ways of minimising the fatigue such as the endo diet. At the moment I am hoping that a laproscopy will get rid of the majority of the fatigue but I have a feeling that it won't be as clear cut as this! Or can the laproscopy help with the fatigue?

Look forward to your reply,

Ann

I got to same symptoms and it good to read i am not the only one!!! Thank you Lindle for some more information, that is very helpful and Ann you are really not the only one. I feel tired almost every day, but specially the week my before my period is due i am not good for anything. Difficulties with getting out of bed, very tired, but not able to sleep in the evening.

Foggyness, feeling like my head is stuffed with cotton wool, feeling sick and dizzy sometimes.

As well a continued pain at my right side, some days ok, somedays not. It really can make a person really down and sad.

My tiredness didnt approve after my keyhole surgery. The burned some of the endo away when they found it, but nothing else and i dont have the feeling this approved anything.

I wish you all the best and good luck

Best regards,

Naomi

Hello Naomi and Lindle

Thanks for your posts and for letting me know that it's not all in my head! It's very frustrating as I had friends over for dinner last night and even though I didn't have any alcohol I feel like I have run a marathon! I find the tiredness really difficult to deal with because sometimes I feel why can't I pull myself together! It doesn't help when you have conflicting information from specialists- one said the tiredness is not linked to the endo and the other said its linked but might be an underlying problem...... I think I will do some more reading about the endo diet which scares me because it's so restricted but anything has to be better than this horrid tiredness! I have a diagnostic laproscopy and cycstemy next Friday and hopefully a TPE at some point. If this doesn't improve the tiredness then I will be on the endo diet!

Again thank you for your posts

Ann
