low energy levels

[jo jo]

im 6 weeks into progynova and my god my energy levels have dropped considerably low any tips on how to boost a lot of fatigue lately i have noticed my muscles have reduced lol

I would check with your doctor.  When i had a similar loss of energy mine had me do a blood test and was able to prescribe a thyroid supplement that helped a great deal.  Some loss of muscle mass is standard with HRT.  Between age and that it is harder for me to do some of the work around thew farm but everyone's body is different and professional advice is definitely desirable; hopefully sooner than later.

I don't really know too much and agree with the above however I found that when I increased my iron content in my diet good things happened,

Wild rice, fenugreek,  and coconut palm sugar were the sources I use.

It was more something I noticed then something I searched out after eating an iron rich food.

Wild rice is amazing in soups.

Fenugreek is good in soups but bitter if too much is added.

Coconut palm sugar is good but I am not a sugar addict so it is not a trigger where it could be for others.

My electrologist swears by artichokes as in the unprocessed form.

I know from what my doctor told me was take vitamin D3 since my D level was low and that helps with energy and being regular in the wash room.

 

You can try picking up some vitamin D either the 3000 or 5000 and it's over the counter in the vitamin section of your local grocery store.  

 

Hope that helps out

Thats interesting that you mention D3 since my level was low and I was prescribed it as an OTC vitamin.  A little of this and a little of that makes us all better.  Please check with your physician.
