Anyone else find they are extremely exhausted??

I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing extreme exhaustion?  I find that I am tired all the time.  For those of you who do not know, I have an 8cm complex cyst that seems to be growing quickly (grew 3cm in 2 weeks) that will be removed on June 8th.  I am also experiencing hot flashes and itchy skin.  Anyone else experience any of these things?

I have a dermoid cyst (9x7) and i find that I am extremely tired as well and really fatigue. I cant seem to stay awake at work in the days. Dont know if its becuase of the lot of blood/blod clots I lose every month. But I am iron pills and they dont seem to work. So maybe I need to get rid of this cysts ASAP!

I had hot flashes (I am peri-menopausal but the hot flashes dropped dramatically after surgery leaving one ovary) and itchy skin with my cysts.  I can't recall if I had fatigue but I do know that with the extreme pain (was on percocet) that it did tire me out.

Before I found out about my dermoids I was extremely exhausted.. I even started feeling mentally foggy and my speech began to slur. After the surgery I felt so clear minded and brand new.

Not sure what happened, but I guess if you push the wrong button you can vote for a best answer.  I think ALL of your responses are awesome.  Thanks for answering.  

November1188, do you have surgery scheduled?  I am the same as you.  I find it so hard to get going during the day.  I have only been up a few hours and feel as if I need a nap already.  I know exactly what you mean on the bad hot flashes.  They are dirving me CRAZY!!

Virginia, I am so sorry you are going through all of this crap too.  It stinks.  The pain we have to deal with is so bad.  Like you, I feel so bad complaining to my husband, that is why I get on here a lot.  I am a bit surprised that your doctor said he is going to be able to tell you if your cyst is cancerous (is he doing a needle biopsy) without taking it out and biopsying it.  That is the only true way to know if your cyst is cancerous or not (that is what I have been told by all of my doctors that I have seen).  Good luck at your doctors appointment.  Please let us know how it goes.
