Hi all,
I'm not sure whether this will help anyone but I have noticed a few ladies having breast issues. This is the one thing I can honestly say I haven't had. A few years ago I found a lump which turned out to be a painful cyst, the consultant told me to take evening primrose oil since then I haven't had any problems. Maybe worth a try perhaps it's why at least I haven't had problems or maybe just coincidence.
Thank you so much I needed all that.but the best part is when you said three month intervals.How lucky is you're friend is to have you.We need more people like you telling it how it really is for some of us.💐

That is no problem. I had a torrid time like many fellow ladies on here, and just wanted all to know there is hope, and gets better if all but slowly. It is hard some days to deal with as not everybody is their magical text book symptoms but some are off the wall type symptoms all feeding off each other. Anu reassurances anyone needs isn't a problem, one day you will be you again. Best of luck x
Oh meant to say I think if my guess work is correct that symptoms were much more intense as building up to meno and just after say a 6 month window. Maybe as this is supposition on my part someone who had periods could confrim it for the ladies still suffering. Keep going everyone, the only way is up x
Hi
How are you now.
I am currently conducting an experiment 3 days in to give my last symptoms a final push. Don't get me wrong they are extremely mild more of an irritation really. I am trying the lavender oil capsules and an ultra sage.
Really hope you got some answers.
Okay so I am a week into experiment with the ultra sage and lavender oil capsules . So far nothing has changed with the flushing. I am sleeping through and only wake 3 times nightly now but find I can get back to sleep better now, so will continue with lavender for a few more weeks as I have a funeral coming up and want to okay with this. I will take the sage for another couple of weeks to be sure.
Good morning ladies
I have had to stop ultra sage it has bought back hot sweats and flushing. I think I am to far into post menopause now and it was reintroducing what my body was getting used to not having. Based on this it could possibly help some peri ladies certainly. worth a try .x
Bumblebee58 what did you take to help you to post menopause? Did you have hot flashes and nevorness and such what did you do to get to post menopause? I just turned 60 I hadnt had a period for like 18 to 22 months in 2014 then in 2016 I had a flood of period add all test everything was fine now my last period was June 2016 coming up on another years no period and meno symptoms had hit me like a ton of bricks. Whgat did u do to get through this?
Hello crosado8.
I am so sorry you are having a bad time at the moment. Yes I most certainly did have nervousness and hot flashes. You must have been devastated to go all that time only to be right back at the start! I took magnesium ( any but oxide) to help relax muscles, lavender oil capsules may help if your jitters aren't to severe. The heat from the flushing and sweats literally drove me crazy nothing seemed to calm them for me. I think if your symptoms are suddenly more severe I read somewhere it means your hormone levels are really dropping off big time, which is usually around the actual menopause day and just after. If you can bare a walk can help burn off some of anxiety, and dark chocolate may help low moods. To be honest I didn't think I would make it everyday seemed to bring something new. I would obsess about one symptom have tests then repeat it all again with the next symptom. The biggest tool at my disposal was my mind. Once I stopped fixating on everything and accepted I had nothing wrong I slowly took back control. I started therapy and learnt CBT. So when panic built up I would reason things out by literally caliming myself down and talking myself through. I chanted alot ( its only anxiety its hormones its menopause) I found also that writing it down in a journal helped I could obsess about how much longer was this going on for etc. I am not going to pretend that it was easy there were days I would have happily ended it all just to be free. But now I am 95% there I can't believe that was me. I really wish I could give you a better answer I guess really results are limited. But take heart even though symptoms continue afterwards they are manageable they are certainly not like peri. They are not fluctuating like before, they are settling and leveling very slowly. So although you may have some symtoms they are not severe. Not sure whether this will help you, happy to answer anything I can take care x
