I've been experiencing what I call 'down days' for the past few years. I've never been able to work out what triggers them and I wonder if anyone else experiences the same.
On these days, I feel overcome with exhaustion and a feeling of heaviness in my limbs and body, as if I'm wearing a suit of armour.
My brain is foggy and listless, I'm just sapped of all zing and vigour. Emotionally I feel really down, demotivated and despondent.
The odd thing is, the next day I'll be back to my normal energetic and optimistic self.
It happens every 1-2 weeks. I thought it might be menstrual related but there's no consistent pattern.
My GP has done standard bloodwork and all seems fine. She wondered if it might be chronic fatigue syndrome, but from my understanding sufferers experience symptoms for days or weeks at a stretch, not just a single day at a time.
Just wondering if anyone else suffers similarly, and if so whether you have found a solution.
