chronic fatigue

[Beck215]

hi guys so a little about me first.

Ive been suffering with crippling pain since october, after many visits to a&e and my gp theyre pretty sure i have endo. Im currently waiting on a gyne appointment (which is taling ages) ive been perscribed codrydamol and oral morphine for the pain.

im finding myself really struggling with fatiugue. Theres days when i wake up i can barley move to get out of bed and days where im so exhausted i cant eat properly. This is starting to really hit my mental health( i have a mental health appointment soon). Im struggling to do the basic household chores which im worried is putting too much on my partner( hes been amazing about it all).

Do any of you have any tips or advice in reducing the fatigue or managing it?

Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear that! I had CFS for a long time but I felt it was related more to adrenal burnout. I did a protocol to nourish adrenal glands and I ate a lot cleaner, with occasional fasting to increase autophagy. If you drink coffee I would switch to tea or quit caffeine altogether. I also felt better after doing kundalini yoga, which I did on my own when I woke up. For the endo, also look into blackseed oil and Nattokinase

Also b12 shots might be helpful and ditto on the iron.

I am suffering from the same.

Some days I really need push myself go to work cos I can’t afford to lose job. I have asked for referral to Occupational health cos I am struggling.

Usually stay in bed when I can and sleep longer in the morning. Though it is not very helping anyway 😁

I live by myself ,so my flat look like a mess cos I have no energy to clean.

I try to cut tasks everywhere possible .

I am on gluten free and lactose free food, no meet, no alcohol. Not sure if it is helping me 😁

Waiting for my psychologist sessions too.

Hey, I also struggle from heavy fatigue. Having endo means we’re a lot more likely to be anaemic which is what I discovered after a blood test pre surgery. This could be the case for you so I’d recommend asking your gp for an iron blood test and then they can prescribe iron supplements or at the very least adding more iron rich foods into your diet. This has really helped me, I started taking these just after I quit caffeine (to help with inflammation) and now I don’t get too incredibly tired. Also napping! If possible having a small nap really helps my energy level in the long run. Hope this helps x

i do tend to suffer with anemia quite alot, ill definetly get that checked out

Hi, this is common with endo, one snippet that may help is “stop hating the part of your body that letting you down, treat it as a sick child and love it better”.

You need to think about your diet, try an anti- inflammatory diet and consider avoiding wheat and gluten for a couple of months. There is research that shows this may help. For more help with your diet you can check out endometriosis.co.uk

i do definetly need to love myself more and cut myself some slack. Unfortunetly i have ibs so im already on a restricted diet

[ccfd9 in reply to Beck215]

Then even more reason to consult a nutritional therapist like Dian Shepperson Mills who has not only experienced your symptoms but has help thousands of women with endometriosis. See the link in my previous message.
