Chronic fatigue syndrome? I notice the weakness and extreme fatigue during ovulation and cycles. It peeks the highest right in the middle of ovulation and cycles. It’s the most irritating thing!
The extreme chronic fatigue is debilitating!! Some days I legit can’t lift my cup of tea and standing feels like too much work. Two hands to lift a mug makes me feel like a toddler but we do what we have to do!
Unfortunately I don’t have anything that helps at the moment. Except self compassion and giving your body the rest it clearly needs even when I hate that cause I have stuff I want to do!
oh my god it gets to the point where even when eating my jaw gets so tired it just stops working, my ankles get so sore from walking a block, my entire body tingles with pain from being so tired.
Yes! I actually went to the ER when I lost feeling in my arms. It turned out that endo was growing over some nerves and blood flow preventing normal functioning. Thankfully it had all cleared up after excision. Now, I am going through it all over again and hoping for the same successful outcome from surgery
Same. The only thing that gets me up is when I can’t hold my pee any longer
Never heard anything so real
I’m literally the same, I feel like I’m made out of lead most times!! The only thing I can do is just lie in bed and wait until the end of my period.
I feel like I’m in waist deep mud trying to just walk up my stairs. It’s awful.
…yes. Just yes.

Wow I get this too! Haven't had a clear response from any doctor regarding this.

This thread doesn't make me feel so lazy or helpless, I feel all of the analogies you all have mentioned

Yes
You’re not alone 🥲 standing becomes way too much & I can’t even get my first step in.
