My daytime fatigue is so severe I’ve been mistaken for being drunk (even though I don’t drink), and I experience a dream like brain fog around friends unless I use caffeine pills to seem present.

As an older woman, this is not normal. Please see a doctor!!

I have an autoimmune disease that comes with chronic fatigue. I understand the struggles. This is far beyond normal.

It's normal. I've had every blood and hormone test under the sun and they've come back normal. Seen lots of doctors including female ones. I'm not going to waste their time any further it's just one of those things you have to get on with as an older woman I'm not in my prime anymore.

Yeah, I’m with Velma here. This is absolutely not normal for women in our 30s. I’m older than you and it sounds like I have a lot more energy than you.

I’m 42 and sleep 9pm-4am, drink a cup of coffee in the morning, one more just after lunch (because I love coffee), and I never need a nap. Even on days that I’m highly active, no naps. When my partner didn’t realize he was brewing decaf for a week, I didn’t get abnormally tired, just minor caffeine withdrawals. I honestly don’t think I’ve taken a nap since my late 20s when I was working overnight shifts.

Maybe consider a device that monitors your sleep. I do have some restless nights and my Apple Watch catches it. Usually I just take a melatonin the next night and I sleep like a baby.

I have a fitbit and it says my sleep's fine. No abnormal oxygen variations.

Also it's possible you age slower than most women. Not all old men are as lucid as David Attenborough, for example.

And women are clinically considered to be geriatric at 35 or older. Geriatric. I'm 31, so I'm not in my prime anymore. https://www.healthline.com/...

I’m nowhere near as smart as I was when I was 15. This thing with mispronouncing words and getting sentences wrong happens to me all the time now and I find it so much easier to communicate via text than actually speaking. Most of the time I feel like I don’t know what’s going on and I actually thought today was Wednesday! Hooray for ageing! I miss teenage me.

Looking at your other posts, you seriously need to see a doctor. Something is wrong.

Everything's normal! I've seen multiple doctors and had every blood, vitamin, and hormone test under the sun, and then some. Everything comes back normal. I'm just not in my prime

You're acting drunk, mispronouncing your words enough that you have to text and can't speak properly, and need constant naps.

Come on now. I know it sucks to push doctors for answers, I know it sucks to have to stop and take care of your health, but this is serious.
