Right, 57 and postmenopausal and I am absolutely done with the 3pm wall. Every single day, round about half two, something just... drops. Like someone pulled a plug. I've been reading back through some older threads on here and a few people mentioned what they eat at breakfast making a difference so I've been paying attention. I used to have toast. Sometimes just toast and a coffee and I thought that was fine, I'm not a big breakfast person. But the last few weeks I've been forcing myself to have eggs or some leftover chicken or whatever protein I can find quickly and honestly the crashes feel... less dramatic? Not gone. But less like I need to lie down on my keyboard. I've also started making sure dinner has a proper protein anchor, not just pasta with a bit of cheese on top. My husband thinks I've lost the plot because I'm reading the back of every packet now. The bit I want to ask my GP about is whether these crashes are worth mentioning. Like is this just tiredness or is it something she'd want to look at with bloods. I don't want to go in there and have her tell me to get more sleep. I want to know if there's something actually going on. Anyone else pushed for that conversation and got anywhere useful? x
