My fatigue is so bad I am struggling to stay awake all the time. It does not seem to matter how many hours I sleep. I usually have a headache. Sometimes so severe that I will have distorted vision or no vision in one eye usually for a few hours. I don’t know how much longer I can keep up with life while dealing with this fatigue. I welcome any suggestions.

Do you struggle with feeling like you are less feminine or less womanly due to PCOS // symptoms? What do you do that helps you to feel better?

Does anyone else suffer with fatigue and sugar crashes? Also joint pain (which I always put down to hypermobility but im now thinking potentially not), anexity over really stupid things and hormone surges.
