Exhausted

[JosieMain]

Anyone in their 40s who is just … exhausted.
to the point of…

• sleeping 3/4 hours for a few years
• at least twice a month has a few days when work feels insurmountable
• dreams of never having to work again
• sometimes can’t move out of bed for feeling so tired
• the tiredness comes in waves, often after being with pals who emotionally dump
• alcohol of anything more than 2 glasses per night X 2 days per week drains for days…

help!

Go to the GP and ask for full bloods. Could be thyroid. Could be too little or too much iron in your blood. Could be a whole host of other things. Could be menopause or peri, but don’t be fobbed off by being told that’s what it is without being properly tested.
