Medical issue, perhaps TMI, SORRY!

ctandam · **Medical issue, perhaps TMI, SORRY!**

I am hoping that although this is a mommy forum that some of you may have had a hysterectomy. I ended up having to have one last year due to a cyst on my ovary and over 15 year history of cysts.
I have been having issues about the past four months. I have been EXTREMLY tired about one week a month, getting terrible headaches that same week. I have been breaking out, which, I never did unless I was pregnant for the last 13-15 years. I called the doctor and asked if it could be a hormone thing, because it is almost like I am cycling (I still have one ovary.) He had me do a blood test to see if my thyroid was okay and since that came back fine, he wants me to come in and see him. My appt is Friday. I just hate feeling wiped out. It is really hard when you have to take care of four kids and run a household. Yes, I know, I am preaching to the choir. I soooooo want to go and go to bed, but my husband is in our room studying because he is taking four classes at the college. I did get the kids to bed, so now, I guess, I will relax here in the family room.
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing the fatigue, breakouts and headaches??
thank you in advance...

I don't have any advice, I just wanted to send Hugs to you. I hope you get some rest and feel better soon.

you may want to have your thyroid checked..... I had some of the same symptoms after my third child and it ended up being my thyroid because my hormones went crazy...that may be your case....just a thought....good luck, hope you feel like yoursef soon

I don't have any ideas really because I haven't been there, but the first thought that popped into my head was maybe the beginnings of menopause?!?! The way you feel is exactly how my mom started feeling when she started going through menopause. Just an idea so don't laugh if you are way too young to be experiencing this yet.

But know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
