What can I do to get more energy?

Endometriosis can cause heavy periods, and heavy bleeding on a regular basis can cause an iron deficiency. Being anemic will make you extremely tired. Until you can afford to get to a doctor to get blood work done, take a multivitamin that contains 100% of your daily recommendation of iron and eat iron-rich foods. Don't take an iron supplement on your own--they can cause a lot of problems if taken at the wrong dose, so it's best to wait until you can get advice from a doctor.

I had a history of heavy periods because of another condition, and I also noticed that without taking a multivitamin I'm often really under my daily recommendation for iron. I do want to get my iron level checked at some point, since I go through periods when I seem to be exhausted all the time. I've found two things that really help are not going overboard with caffeine (I'm down to 1-2 cups of coffee a day from probably at least 5-6) and getting regular exercise. The days when I feel like working out the least are usually the days when I need to the most.

I agree with the iron recs. Easy thing to try and anemia is common and does make you feel tired.
