Anyone else suffer from complete exhaustion which makes even doing simple household tasks impossible?

i have had loads of blood tests and they are all fine, so I'm presuming it must be menopause!

[Dotty]

Yes... all levels are fine. My blood test results say I am very healthy.

Yes I had absolute crashing fatigue.  Using testosterone has done wonders x

[Dotty]

Annie - was the fatigue all the time ? And was it so bad that all you could do was sit down all day?

[Annie0710]

I really struggled.  By afternoon I HAD to nap but it wasn't a restful nap, I'd still feel rubbish when I woke up.  I had no energy for work, housework, anything really x

[Dotty]

Hi Annie I'm exhausted but I don't want to sleep. I'm not tired as in sleepy, just got no energy at all. X

[Annie0710]

I had neither, was mentally and physically exhausted and using oestrogen gel and testosterone gel really helped x

[Dotty]

Thanks Annie.  I'm just hoping my HRT kicks in soon x

Absolutely!!!

I get it when my oestrogen level is low- I can barely move, feel flat and want to sleep continually.
It gets better when I increase my HRT dose- I can function  eg go to work or housework or out socially.
BUT have to agree with Annie0710, since I added testosterone into the mix I actually feel energised and almost raring to go, long may it last! 

[Dotty]

thanks Salad.  I think my oestrogen levels are low and I am waiting for the HRT to do its work.
