Hello BGold
I take COQ10 to help energy supplies (I have CFS/ME), but the most important thing you can do for yourself, whilst everything else is being sorted out, is pace and rest. I know this is difficult for someone if they are still working and there are usually children and running a home to take into consideration. However, if you have the opportunity, at home, cut any jobs around the house into smaller chunks and do it bit at a time, rather than all at once. Again, if you are able, go and take a proper flat lie down rest with no distractions (I do listen to soothing music as it helps stops my head whirling) for 20/30 mins. I had to leave work due to the CFS/ME, so I know I am fortunate (although broke!) in having this 'luxury', but those scheduled rests have enabled me, over time, to recoup some of my energy and do far more than I could do 3 years ago. Look at a website by Dr Sarah Myhill. It is for CFS/ME, but it is all about energy, so much of what she says helps the crashing fatigue that comes with menopause. As she says, her foundations are a blueprint for life. If, when! I recover, I will never live my life like I used to. If you are able to manage those rests....DO NOT FEEL GUILTY...its taken me a while! I hope you manage to sort out the HRT.
