Does anyone else have severe tiredness?

I got my bloods done to check if I was anaemic, as I have been unexplainably exhausted for the last 3 weeks. However, my bloods all came back satisfactory.

I was just wondering if anyone else feels like this, when I wake up in the morning I could just go right back to sleep. It’s stopping me from doing my daily activities as I’m drained of all energy. It gets to the point where I can’t even talk I’m that tired and all I can do is go to sleep. Please if anyone else feels like this or knows if it has anything to do with endo please let me know!!

I feel like this most days and apparently it can be a side effect of endometriosis also low mood can contribute My surgeon discussed oestrogen depletion can be a factor also and suggested tibolone to take maybe this could help you also

I haven’t started mine yet but as I have cysts on my ovaries recently removed apparently they cause the body to not make this oestrogen which we need and this is also a major cause of the tiredness felt x

Yes I am in the same boat as you and the fatigue gets worse around the period. Constantly checked for anaemia and like you levels are fine. I fee like a 90yr old sometimes

Yes me too!! It is very hard to allow time for yourself to feel better. I am constantly putting pressure on myself to get up and do things and if I don’t I feeling guilty. I hope you feel better soon and get some relief!!

I extremely tired most days especially leading up to my period, my moods are low, anxious, have to force myself to do things. Unfortunately it's all signs of endo, I was diagnosed back in November through laparscorpy had endo cyst on left ovary and on cyst on retum. Last yr had blood tests all came back normal iron levels where normal. I am all new to this learning from another ladies on here. Stay strong and hope you feel better soon.

I am the same, honestly feel like an old lady! One doctor said to me 'naps are good' and I had to remind him that I'm only 20 and it's not normal 🤦‍♀️
