persephone Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 So strange. I can be ok outside of this period, but when I'm in a flare, no matter what time I get up, I HAVE to lie down and I am a lot less capable of working, thinking and functioning.I just wondered if there was anyone who experiences this, and also if anyone has ideas or explanations about why it happens?Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hello Persephone,Unfortunately I don't have any answers about why this happens - just writing to say something similar happens to me too. I go through periods of being unable to keep myself from sleeping each afternoon. It's not a 'nice' sleep either; it's like a sleep where my body shuts down but I can often hear the entire time. Can't move though. It takes me a long time of struggling with my body to be able to move, and sometimes I can feel myself becoming more & more dehydrated but I'm stuck. Hopefully some other people here might have some helpful answers/ideas for you!All the very best :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brye Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Unless I get a nap around 1:00 that's when the fatigue catches up. Not sure why, I always figured it was because my older 2 kids get home from school. Brye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Persephone,It is probably a circadian rhythm thing. There is a natural lull in the body around that time, when the hormones and metabolic processes slow down, it could also be a blood sugar issue.

skiberthoud Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Agree with Firewatcher. And if you have adrenal issues as well fatigue can be more pronounced. Oh to be able to take a nap! Then once it's time to get the kids to bed I'm wide awake again - ug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeSprings Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Just wanted to add a "me too" to this post. I also noticed around 4-5pm not only am I more tired, but more dizzy/spaced out and I get really cold. I start my day feeling hot when I wake up, heart racing and HOT. As the day goes on I get colder and colder, until late evening, and then things seem to even out again. It's the same roller coaster ride everyday.

dizzycoco Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I also seem to "melt" by 4:30pm everyday no matter if I was active or not that particular day : / You are not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yep! Me too. Hits like a freight train. Mine usually lasts until I wake up the next morning though. Such a bummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abetterjulie Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Same here. I rarely make dinner anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
