exhausted please help
« on: August 08, 2016, 12:03:18 PM »

Hi I have been on hrt for about eight months now. I am on my second month of an increase to 50mg of estradot ( I had hysterectomy 4 years ago) I don't know if its related but I am totally exhausted the last few days. I feel like i've been drugged i'm so sleepy, Please does anyone know if this could be hrt or meno related, I am so tired i feel sick, also I am peeing a bit more than usual, not sure if this is related
regards Yammy

Ask for some tests to see if you thyroid function is OK. Also Vitamin D levels and iron as well. So many things can give us fatigue and even minor deficiencies can cause this. DG x

Let us know how you get on.  Crashing fatigue can be awful!

I get the crashing fatigue, not every day but in clumps of days, I hate it

My thyroid is ok, ferritin ok'ish at 56 although iron was right at bottom of range but I think it's meno for me, but it's handy you're getting bloods done to rule everything else out
