Yeah my fatigue has been insane for 4 years now. I can’t make it through the day without at least a 2-4 hour nap on top of sleeping 10-12 hours at night. It’s the one of the main things my doctors can’t crack. Mayo Clinic has a fatigue clinic or something they offered me but I just wanted to go home lol

Real talk, if you are AFAB possibly look into Endometriosis. I was diagnosed with CF but it ended up being a byproduct of Endo

I have narcolepsy AND insomnia so I totally get this! My meds don’t really help either and I’m on the strongest stuff. The only thing that helps me is giving myself grace and allowing myself time to rest. I have to push so many things off but it keeps me from crashing so much. I really hope you get to the bottom of your fatigue! It’s almost dehumanizing to walk around like a zombie all day

i don't know if you're talking about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or just in general but yeah, i definitely do. it used to be worse before because i got so depressed all my muscles atrophied and i couldn't even walk to class without intense pain.

i don’t think i have endo, i don’t experience stomach pain outside of bowel issues. i think my CF is caused by POTS and past trauma and just pushing myself way too hard. who knows
