Why does endometriosis cause tiredness?

[treez]

Hi

I know endometriosis causes tiredness but does anyone know why?its not due to heavy bleeding in my case as I have a coil which calms the bleeding down.

Thanks treez

I think it might be something to do with the inflammation, which our bodies then work to fight which uses energy. X

Oh right that would make sense.

Thanks treez

I know when I had my first lap and excision my energy levels improved massively X

I would also rule out other possibilities my daughter was struggling to stay awake most days and it turned out she had a vitamin be 12 deficiency as well as endo it might be worth getting it checked out Good luck

Hi

Thanks I don't think it that I've recently had my bloods done thinking something might show up but they were fine.

They don't test b12 in a Normal blood test though

[treez in reply to Gaily1770]

Oh right I will ask the doctor thanks.

Same here I have b12 deficiency anaemia and folate deficiency although I have been on tablets and injections for a long while don't feel any better x

[treez in reply to Sunset81]

How did you find that out?

[Sunset81 in reply to treez]

I told my doctor how I was feeling and there did a full blood count and test x

[treez in reply to Sunset81]

Thanks I'll ask my doctor about it then.
