61 and postmeno and the 3pm thing has been going on for months now. Not tired exactly, more like someone pulled a plug out. I can be absolutely fine at lunch and then by mid-afternoon I'm useless, foggy, slightly snappy, reaching for biscuits I don't even want. I've got a GP appointment coming up and I want to mention it but I'm worried she'll just say eat less sugar and leave it at that. Has anyone managed to get actual bloodwork out of their GP for this kind of thing? I'm going to write down roughly when the crashes happen and what I'd eaten beforehand, just so I'm not sitting there going "well it's sort of... in the afternoon... sometimes" like a complete numpty. On the practical side I've been trying to sort out dinner properly for a few nights at a time because I think some of my crashes might be connected to not having eaten much that day. Budget is tight so I'm not doing anything fancy, mostly things like lentil soup with eggs stirred in, or tinned fish with whatever veg needs using up. Nothing Instagram-worthy. But having something actually ready seems to help me not skip lunch, which I suspect is part of the problem. Anyone else been down this road? What did you actually change? x
