Hello,
The tiredness for me doesn't hapen every day, but I can feel it when it
does. It's a pretty particular sort of tiredness as well so I know when
it's to do with PCOS not staying out too late! My forehead feels heavy,
my reaction times are slower, sound seems more distant then normal and I
get a faint almost buzzing feel in my limbs. I'd be interested to see
if anyone else gets anything like this. I started on Metformin about 2
months ago, but this symptom has not improved. Thank God for
sympathetic bosses is all I can say!

P.S. it does seem to help if I have something sweet, orange juice, or
preferably chocolate. It doesn't help the diet but it helps me get
through the day.
