Have you been checked for Lupus? This can cause chronic fatigue and temps. It's more common in endo suffers. X

Really, I hadn't heard that before, that's a scary thought, it never seems to end x

Exhaustion will come and go with me with days that i am just hanging on tge sofa with no energy what so ever. It is exhausting and makes me feel quite sad. I dont have temperature, but i am always quite hot and sweaty.

Hi. There seems to be a large group of us ladies with endo who suffer fatigue, of varying degrees. i suffered with mild fatigue for years (but thought this was normal), which I believe was a symptom of my undiagnosed endo. I didn't realise until recently fatigue can purely be a symptom of endometriosis.

3 years after diagnosis in 2013, I had a strange virus. Had headaches, temperatures/ low grade fevers, tinnitus, constant pains behind my eyes, nausea and awful fatigue. After several weeks realised I wasn't getting any better and after a few months of testing I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or M.E.)

I'm not saying this is what you have, but I read about a lot of ladies who have endo and have also gone on to develop CFS or fibromyalgia. Just thought it was worth mentioning... Especially if you have symptoms other than fatigue X

Thanku for replying that sounds exactly what I'm experiencing, I've been to the doctor this morning and have had blood tests, just waiting for results in the next few days x

Good to get all the obvious culprits checked. I too suffer chronic fatigue and it seems to be incredibly common for us endo ladies sadly.
