Hi all
Not been on for a while. I really sympathise with the tiredness issue. I have been like this on and off for a few years and I am on hrt. I have been trying to come off it and only got to a 50 patch when the tiredness/exhaustion got worse and worse so I am back to 75 and I feel a bit better.
But you are absolutely right the tiredness is debilitating, I have been sleeping 8 hours and wake up feeling exhausted, it is rubbish. I felt I cannot do anything and as for exercise, forget that, I would be in bed for a week after.
I also have had blood tests a few weeks ago and all came back normal. At least it rules out anything serious.
On another matter is it possible to have tests for oestrogen level when you are on hrt.
Some doctors don't know what to do about fatigue, I also have underactive thyroid so its easy to blame everything on that, but I don't feel it s that, my bloods are ok. Its the menopause I am convinced. I am 56 by the way. When will it end.
