Hello everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone else suffers or previously suffered from the following symptom when they have their period. From day one of my period through to day 6 or more, I suffer from debilitating fatigue. For example, today is day 4 of my cycle, I went to bed at 7pm last night (would have gone sooner if I was able), got up around 7:30am, had breakfast, had to go back to bed to sleep, got up, had lunch, had to go back to bed etc, etc.
I absolutely HAVE to sleep is the only way I can describe the tiredness, it's totally overwhelming. There's no way I could drive a car feeling like this for example.
Does or has anyone else suffered from this? It can be quite scary & it would be reassuring if I wasn't the only one out there who has this every month. I'm seeing a specialist next month at the Professor Studd clinic but I notice in the pre-medical questionnaire that it doesn't list "Fatigue" as a symptom. It's one of my main symptoms! I also have an under active thyroid gland (Hashimoto's) so perhaps that' throws things out when my period starts too.
Any comments welcome, thank you xxx
