Blood tests

I've just rang docs for test results to see if I'm anaemic. My bloods came back as normal so this doesn't explain why I'm tired a lot especially when I'm on my period. Any one else have this? Is it to do with endo?

Hi, a few months ago I had blood tests done as I was unbelievably tired all the time. I find I am generally tired a little bit but over a couple of weeks I found I was physically exhausted all the time, each night I would sleep 10 hours (normally sleep no more than 8) then at a week end both sat and sun I would have 3-4 hour 'nap'.

They did tests for anaemia, thyroid, diabetes and a whole lot more. the tests came back normal which was a relief there wasn't something else wrong with me.

The doctor said that the tiredness can be caused by my pain as dealing with daily pain can wear you down and cause fatigue.
