I am coming up on 6 years with ME/CFS after a triple whammy of EBV, Type A and B flu infections.
I have noticed that 2-3 days before and during my period, my Garmin body battery measures 40-60% and my stamina is pretty good. At other times, it is 5-20% and my fatigue is moderate to severe. This has no bearing on my myalgia and restless sleep, which may even increase during this period.
No doctor, even my ME specialist thinks my observations are relevant; or, they recommend I take it up with a gynecologist. However, as we all know, most doctors aren't savvy or interested in ME. So, my attempts at initiating an investigation are futile.
Hubby suggested I ask here to see if other women have a similar experience, and if they managed to replicate the effect with some kind of treatment.
Here is what my typical day looks like:
1 Day before my period:
During Period:
