Hello. I am 20 years old and have gone through 3 surgeries sense 2012. Kidney stone, ovarian cysts, and one for endometriosis. Since then I have been exhausted. All I can do it think about sleep. It doesn’t matter if I get 6, 7, 8, or 15 hours of sleep I am always tired. I am constantly late to work because I cannot get out of bed. When I am going to do something I always think about how much sleep I will get. I am currently on the Lupron shot and have been for four months. I am just tired of being tired. Is this something I should see my doctor about? Do you have any suggestions that I can look into to not being so tired? Thank you for your time.

Has any blood work been done recently? -- you might be anemic, or something else is going on. Yes, definitely see your doctor about this. This is no way to live.

This is something you should see your doctor about. One of the common side effects of Lupron is feeling tired. Maybe you should see if you could get another medication to treat your disorder. What are you taking Lupron for?

I am on the Lupron shot because of the endometriosis and cysts. The pain has been so bad for the last two years to where I was in the hospital because I could not handle it anymore. I still cannot have intercourse with my Fiancé without feeling like crying. For that the Lupron has taken some of the pain away but I still have my days. I am on a hormone back balance right now with the Lurpon. But with being tired I have gained weight too. I just hate living this way everyday. I go home and if I lay my head down on a pillow I am out. I don't wake up to anything at night. I used to have a problem sleeping and it's that I am always tired. I have three dogs and I don't even have the motivation to take them outside or anything at night or in the morning.

Thank you for your advice!
