I'm sooooooo tired....

One of the symptoms of peri-menopause and menopause is fatigue. Not the kind of fatigue that you have when you stay out late and just need a couple of extra hours of sleep. Fatigue during PM or M is like having concrete boots on. It is the Mafioso of symptoms. You slog through the day, just waiting to go back to your down comforter and soft, soft pillows. Your body begs you to sit down, in a soft subtle way. “See that chair…doesn’t it look soft?” “Come on, just watch a little TV” “It’s alright to just lay your head down for a little while.” After a few minutes, you realize that you have been dozing off or asleep and have drooled on your desk, your elbow or the front of your shirt. Now you are tired and sad. Luckily, it lasts only a week or so for some of us. Others, I know, endure it throughout. My sympathies to those of you. Now can you move over so I can get a little shut-eye.
