The fatigue feels like it’s literally going to take me out 😭
I’m 35, and my doctor says my symptoms could be peri but it’s very early. She actually has me coded as PMDD on my chart, despite what she mentioned which is confusing.
She put me on birth control pills recently, and I’m still waiting for my mood to stabilize. My irritability and lashing out at my family seems to have calmed down a bit, but one thing I can’t get past is this friggin fatigue!!
I am so tired - to my bones - all day, every day. I’ve been going to bed early for me after falling asleep on the couch almost every night. I get about 7-7.5 hours of sleep every night. Most days I still wake up tired. I drink coffee in the morning, but try to switch to water by the afternoon.
Today, I was yawning by 12:30p. It’s 9:23p now, and I’m ready for bed even though I used to easily make it to 11 and later.
I’ve been so scared that I’m actually not in peri and that everything is going to get way worse in the next 10 years.
Idk what I’m looking for here. Just needing solidarity I guess
