from me too.
Who do you Train with, Club/physio ……. is this full-time or do you 'work' too? What age are you?
Did anyone suggest eating properly? Your symptoms can be caused by the body being hungry. Have a look at the National Association for Pre-menstrual Syndrome (NAPS) and ask similar questions. When I had problems during my latter years of menstruating, of sudden nausea, feelings of faintness etc., I was advised by NAPS to eat a high carb diet spreading it over so that I ate every 3 hours: even through the night! 24/7. Took a while to remember - when my body wasn't hungry I forgot but the symptoms would return the next month and DH would say 'you haven't eaten properly'
Our puppy soon learned that when she needed to pee at 3.00 a.m., there would be a biscuit for both of us on our way back to bed
Dextrose tablets help ease some of the symptoms as do bananas and packets of mixed fruits and nuts.
Crashing fatigue is 'common' at 'our' age. All part of peri-meno sadly. HORMONES
. I don't want to be pessimistic but I think your competitions may need to be put on hold until you are feeling 'better'. Finding a regime is really Trial and Error. Your body is probably 'on the edge' of having any reserves so will burn up energy really fast. You may find that if you keep a mood/food diary, plus how you react to each treatment regime, you will have a book at the end of this!
Is there an Association for Trialethes with good medical advice etc.?
