Exhausted

Hi

I'm in my early 50s and I've been on HRT for a couple of weeks.

The HRT is helping with hot flushes, insomnia and helping me to feel more like myself.

Lately I have been feeling exhausted and tearful. I try to keep fit and eat well and have cut down on sugar and caffeine. I'm single and often feel lonely and unsupported although I have friends.

I feel stuck in a rut with lots of things going on in my life and Covid isn't helping. I can't have a break away because of Covid.

I wondered if any of you ladies have experienced this as part of the menopause or if I should have some blood tests done.

HI Im 51 and take HRT which helped me with low mood, anxiety and tearfulness I wasn't having hot flushes so im not sure about that. I randomly get really exhausted usually when I have less to do than usual which is strange ! ``like you I try to eat well and fresh air really helps even if I drag myself out ! listing to comedy podcasts help me too, I think its having a good out loud laugh ! I hope you feel brighter soon

@Wintershereagain thanks for your reply. I have ordered some magnesium tablets so hopefully they will help. Yes, I agree - a laugh can give you a lift.
