Yes, a few years ago I started having issues with my vision strength flucuating, occasionally blurry and began getting dry eye. Scared the heck out of me. Then about a year (eye doctor never made the connection) I found out, this is common during this time. Good to have the eyes checked to rule out other things, but most likely it's this lovely time we are in.
Sorry you are feeling shaky and weepy. You are not alone and thankfully it passes. I know it is no consolation right now but hopefully you'll feel better quick.
Thankyou for your reply...yes i went to the optician because of this and he said I had dry eyes too ...and i get really sensatve to light at times too..i permantly were bifocals now ...i did just need glasses for reading but i now need them for distance to ..but I still get blurry eyes
I know this feeling of weepy and shakiness will calm down in a few hours ...but its such a pain when it just comes.over you
I havn't seen any of your posts before as I have only just joined this site. Sorry you are not good today. Sounds like you could have an anxiety issue tied in with menopausal symptoms, which is not unusual. The shaky/weepy/ vision problems can be linked to anxiety. As I do not know your full situation, I can only say keep posting how you are feeling. It does help. (I post on the anxiety site as well) Good Luck.
Thankyou cruise Lady and welcome...im quite new myself and im so glad I found this site everyone is fabulous and helpful
I have always suffered from anxiety and in 2013 I had a nervous breakdown ...doctors.didnt help much my husband an myself got me.thru it all and without medication... it was horrendous hubby was my rock ...dont know.weather the perimenopause was the culprit ....I think i was born a worrier just cant help it lol xxx
Hi Susan..awww sorry you suffer too...i guess its another menopause symptom and boy are there plenty ...you just dont know what to expecet next ..they all each have a niggle from day to day ...the blighters lol..
Im feeling good now no shakiness or weeping ..thankyou for caring xx
Just to let you know I have read your reply and can identify with it entirely. Strangely enough I only posted a similar comment about being a "born worrier" a few days ago to someone who has suffered from childhood. What I was inferring to them was that I genuinely believe some of us "inherit" these anxiety genes from somehwere, or we have a constant seratonin imbalance. Whatever it is it does make life difficult. Glad yiu have an understanding hubby. Mine came to some group meetings with me, so he could understand some of it. I was astounded to find people there from all walks of life, different ages and so on. The tutor was a male nurse and a lifelong sufferer of anxiety, so we felt pretty comfortable among ourselves. Just think on one thing.....I read recently that it is usually the more intelligent people who suffer anxiety! Ha Ha! Hold on to that thought! lol. Good Luck.
You know I think you are right about inheriting the genes coz its funny my mum was a bad worrier ..my dad to suffers with nerves ..more so when he was younger tho ..and my daughter is exactly like me we are like 2 peas in a pod when it comes to worrying ...I wish I could be ever so laid back and take life as it comes and not worry about anything i even worry if ive feed the birds enough in the garden ha ha ....i must admit tho its my health I worry about the most if i get the slightest ailment ..I fear the worse ...what am i like lol
Thankyou CruiseLady for getting back to me I appreciate it Xx

LOL! Jay! What a perfect description of how I look upon getting up and about! These latest symptoms of aches/pains has been last couple of months-thought it was due to winter being so harsh this year. Well, Spring is here and I'm still hobbling around like old woman. Actually some of my older patients look better than me at this point. From the bottoms of my feet to my lower back, I'm a mess. Takes me a bit to get going these days. Love the mental image of a penguin-as that's what I must like like as well when I first get up and moving.........like you, I do hope when the hypothyroidism issue is dealt with, these aches will be gone. I've added tumeric to my handful of supplements along with extra Vitamin C (whole food supplements this time around to see if they work any better) added to the whole other list of goodies!
We'll see what the specialist has in store for my on Tuesday, God willing this doc will put me on a better course to regaining some of my spunk back!
Here's hoping you feel better soon, Jay! Enjoy those beautiful sunny Spain days!
