I slept from approx 9-7 solid and am still exhausted .. can’t keep eyes open but too nervous about all this meno stuff to take a nap ! 

I want to go for a run but this fatigue engulfs you ! 

Why are we sooooo tired ?????

Lori, go to your doctor and have your thyroid levels checked. One symptom of low thyroid is an inability to feel rested even after sleeping for longer than normal.  I felt exhausted all the time.  Could sleep 12 hours, open my eyes and feel like I needed another 12.  xx

I have an interactive thyroid and that's exactly how I felt before diagnosis. Get your thyroid function checked. You will have a result within 24 hours

I just had all my blood work done ... twice ! once at the drs and once at the emergency .

I’m very healthy so it’s all hormones . I was ok on the patch but ripped it off as didn’t want to be on medication..... bad move on my part . 

So parch is back on .

Lori,

Unless your doctor specifically requested that thyroid levels would be tested, it usually doesn't appear on the complete blood count.  So, contact your doctor and find out. xx

Yes I will on Monday thank you for pushing me to do that  ... it just seems weird that the moment I took the patch off within a few days  I’m back to the fatigue .
