Some mornings i wake up with a feeling of heaviness and exhaustion that would make me stay home - but then I take my meds (vyvanse and a very low dose of pregabalin) and two hours later I start feeling okay again. I am still tired but the feeling of overwhelming exhaustion and most of the pain in my body are gone (some of it is muscular, especially if i had a busy schedule, some of it is joints)
It is worse in busy periods (I am about to be done with art school, prepping the final show and moving out of the workshop. I have a somewhat physically demanding job, and I haven´t had a "weekend" or a true rest day in a while.) I have always been somewhat chronically exhausted, but I cannot say I remember my pre-meds baseline. I suspect I have some form of eds as well, and I might be entering peri menopause.
Is this amount of pain just... normal for us?
