i'm on day 3 of my period, the first period after my lap.
I am so tired, I have done nothing but sleep and take pain killers.
Everything is such an effort and it feels as if my body is very heavy. The smallest things are really taken it out of me. It is as if i have flu like symptoms but without the cold.
Just to raise my arms or walk to the toilet is really draining. It is as if my body is aching all over.
Has anyone else experience such serve fatigue like this?

Yes I do most periods hun it's awful and I wish I could advice youv what to do. Only thing I can say is maybe get your bloods done to check for aneamia. It's hard hun I wish there was a magic pill for it. Just letting you know your not alone and seev about getting those bloods done 💗🤗😘
Hiya in 3 days post lap and I'm exhausted . Due my period too tomorrow so everything flaring up. Remember you have been through an operation. Have you been taking pain meds? Some of them can make you feel drowsy?
I literally have no energy no get upo and go to do anything .
Iv got bad foggy brain. Your first period after lap is the worst hun don't worry just rest rest rest drink plenty and eat good. Even if it's soup. You are going to hurt and your body is repairing I itself naturally your going to feel like a bus has hit you. It's normal hun xx
Yes but it passes, you just feel fed up and tired out. I felt getting up and doing things helped massively, as long as your able. I cracked on with housework and things, my recovery was exceptionally quick. By 5th day I was off pain relief but it depends on you and what you feel capable of doing. Some people take a lot longer to recover, all the chemicals that were used, the anaesthetic, gas, it all has an effect and it takes a few weeks to get out of your body. Occasionally now a month n half after lap I get an ache where endo was removed from - I think it’s something we just have to deal with unfortunately x
