Lethargy, How do you cope?

I know lethargy can be a major symptom, most often, 7-10 days before the menses cycle, yet we all have lives that don't stop for us. So my question: how do you cope and what do you do to beat the doldrums?

    I think I mentioned before, that I am on YAZ. It has been a lifesaver for me!

    I get up and workout/go for a walk first thing in the morning. If I don't exercise right when I get up, then I just don't have the energy for the rest of the day. Also, I have found that green tea really helps. I drink at least 1-2 cups of decaffeinated tea per day. Something in it gives me a little perk without the heart-pounding effects of caffeine. I do feel lethargic when I get home from work still. At this time I just give in and lay on the couch and watch T.V. lol I just try to make it through the work day.

    This is a good questions! Lol. I am on YAZ also but it hasn't seemed to help with the tiredness. I haven't really found anything to help much other than (I know this is bad) pop. :embarassed: Since I started working out (which has been about 2 week) the lethary seems to have gotten worse. I wish I knew what to do differant. Maybe someone else will be more help! :)

    I had to stop taking any sort of hormone suplament becasue it caused me to thow a blood clot and took out part of my right lung. Now my hormones are all over the place...I can tell when they swing because I get a whole new crop of pimples (sheesh!). 34 years old and fighting achne!

    Anyway..I heard on one of the "doctor" shows that sesamee seed helps control hormone levels naturaly...any one ever tried this?
