Hi Karen, OMG!  My exhaustion is like a terminal illness. All tests clear,  Do not sleep well either.   I get terrible dizziness too.  Only 41...😐

No you are not the only one who feels this way. I stay so tired all the time, very rarely have a day that I don’t feel this way, but when I do I take full advantage of it 😊

I look like a different person, I don’t even recognize the face in the mirror. I too feel like I look washed out, just different. Just know you are not alone. Take care

I sleep but don't know if it's good sleep because this morning I feel like hell.   My energy level is pretty low most of the time..  No drive, just blah

No you’re not ! I’ve spent 7 months ... TIRED! Completely Exhausted All the time . Like a fatigue I’ve never known in my life .

h karen,

no you're not alone with this, most days I can push through it but sometimes all I can do is give in. it's all so very frustrating🙄

No you’re not alone! If I sit to do any task, like read or do paperwork or watch TV, I cannot stay awake..I’m seriously fatigued..which is unfortunate since I’m starting a new teaching job Thursday!! Ugh..going to have to try to go to sleep earlier, get organized and function as best I can. It’s really awful to be so tired now, when I’m trying to better myself and my family... hang in there! We will survive!!

Hey Karen honey. You are really not alone with this. I always feel wasted, everything's an effort. I have never felt a tiredness like it. But mine comes on suddenly. I reached the menopause 3 years ago. The worse symptom for me was the depression. Which I have to add was already there. I was given medication before the menopause for this. But I might as well not have been on tablets as they weren't helping at that point in my life. So tried hrt, didn't help. So they gave me a mood stabiliser, which has helped a bit. Yeah, that was the hardest thing to deal with. Your not alone honey. Message me anytime. I totally understand what you are going through. Donna xxx

I too suffer with the depression it’s dark deep and lonely . I’m constantly worried and can’t get anything accomplished . Trying to ride the wave and know it won’t last as I went through the same thing at 41 which was probably hormones dropping for the first time . Took months and months to recover but I did ... so here’s hoping .

Yes - the aches and pains are relentless.  I actually had a massage today (first time in 12 months) and it was uncomfortable to the point of painful.  Everywhere she massaged hurt except for my feet and calves.  What a shame.  I almost feel as if menopause has kicked in fibromyalgia as I have very tender "points" in addition to general achiness, nausea, and fatigue.

Thanks donna. My anxiety is sky high to but the tiredness and no energy is terrible at the moment. Im on hrt helped with dizziness and hot flushes but thats about it xx

Us ladies sure will survive xx

Yes kim this sounds just like me, especially my shoulders. I wake up most mornings feeling sick, carnt eat untill late afternoon cause of it xx

Yes I was on the patch for 2 months and yes helped with dizziness and stopped hot flashes but I never got too many and weren’t that bad .

I just want to feel my body naturally... the patch didn’t lift my mood and I could feel the effects of having a drug constantly in my system . Plus made me incredibly bloated and caused acne .

It will pass ... nothing stays the same forever . My fatigue has lasted 6 months . Like nothing I’ve ever experienced ! You have to really treat your body like a baby ... make sure you get early nights ... there’s no winging it with this ..

I wake up in full body pain sometimes, it’s awful..my knees, hips, shoulders, back and neck hurt terribly and I haven’t slept good..I do need a new bed, mine is old and awful but I live on Advil lately and then of course get kidney twinges...then it’s on to headaches, nausea, etc...never ending cycle of woes! I had a good month  this summer but now feeling terrible again..hang in there everyone! So glad I’m not alone!!❤️

I am tired most of the time. My sleep isn’t restful. I have a lot of aches.  I think I’m in perimenopause but also have a thyroid problem.
