I swear, when someone's talking to me now, I can barely understand what's happening. I know I'm no spring chicken anymore but I wish I was 16 again lol when I experience things it's like it's a memory or like I'm at the back of my head. It's hard to explain. Every thing here is getting gradually worse over the years. Suffice to say, I'm not looking forward to my 40's..

That being said I feel like I'm making a big deal out of something most women my age just get on with and put up with for the rest of their lives without complaining

For your energy levels, do you drink energy drinks? Caffeine makes me feel nauseous, so for me, they're off the table.

And I've had several doctors do bloodwork, and everything's come back normal. My white blood cells were a bit low, but they've been like that for at least a year. I was told it's normal though, because as you age your immune system does decline.

Doctors are idiots. I have no idea how many I've gone through by now to get my diagnoses. There have been whole studies on how doctors are more dismissive of women as well.

I don't do anything for my energy levels except eat healthy, normal food. One thing I do notice is the more I work out, the more I want to work out over time. If I don't start my day with some kind of activity or go for a walk at some point, I'm less active and cognizant later in the evening.

How long does it take for you to get out of that feeling of coming to after general anesthesia when you wake up?

[-] Wren@lemmy.today 11 points 8 hours ago

Are you trolling now? Why do you phrase your questions like this applies to everyone when people keep telling you it's not normal?

I wake up naturally at 6-7am, happy and healthy.

Attention seeking behavior. They need to switch doctors, maybe get a FNP since they're more informed, assuming this is a real issue and not made up for attention.
