Hi ladies, Having a bit of a rough go these last few weeks, and am convinced it is all menopause related, but I find coming on here and reading your words to be very reassuring. For most of the month of July, I have been having digestive issues- nausea, painful gas in my stomach and abdomen as soon as I eat, lack of appetite, and weight loss. It's very upsetting! On top of that, I often have major brain fog. I can't think straight at all! And it feels like my head is fully of cotton. I have an amazing doctor, and booked phone appointment for tomorrow, but thought I'd come on here, in case you ladies have any words of wisdom or encouragement. Have a great day.
hi cindy ive had these digestive issues for months now bloating, no appetite, running to the loo first thing in the morning, nausea & feeling like i have something stuck in my throat. its just horrible ive lost some weight too so forcing myself to eat at the moment its awful. i think i probably have acid reflux but spend a lot of time in bed because im so exhausted, good luck at the docs let me know what they advise x
same here digestive issues at the moment woke up hot nauseous acid reflux gas buildup its tiring seems nothing i try helps i can take a nexium it gets rid of the acid reflux but causes worse bowel issues cant win for losing.
hi i am currently having digestive issues as well. how are you ladies doing?
Hi Cindy
Have had nausea most of the time and upset tummy most mornings. I think when we get anxious it makes things worse which is hard to control when we worry so much. I am
dealing with dizziness daily and feel unbalanced also very shaky. I cry alot and try to tell
myself that its just hormones but I find it hard to believe when I feel so horrible all the time.
I hope you feel better soon. x
Thanks! Every day it seems, there is something new going on in my body and mind. I'm so over it all. I am hanging in there and I hope you are too. Thanks for your reply!
I've had the sensation of something stuck in my throat a lot!! Doc said it could be hormones. Could be gall bladder related. I suspect it isn't- I had my gall bladder removed 7 years ago. Can't imagine this is suddenly appearing now! I've got myself convinced it is menopause related- especially when I read the comments of the many good ladies on here. Take care!!
digestive wise mine has calmed down, still have no appetite so forcing myself to eat. my big problem at the moment is aching painful joints limbs & absolutely no energy for weeks on end now dizzy head jelly legs struggle to even get out of bed! ive been on femoston 2/10 for 13 days now & if anything feel worse?
same here, feel like i get done with one symptom, and along comes another. its exhausting. after 5 years of this mess, i should be handling it better i guess. ((hugs))
Hi! I am on day 2 of dizziness, feeling unbalanced and shaky. Just had a big cry! Nausea was so bad, I could barely eat my supper. Just thought I'd reach out, since you'd mentioned these symptoms in your reply. Feeling so discouraged!!
Hugs It is so hard some days.
Your post is exactly how ive been feeling for the last couple of months, digestive issues. Nausea, loss of appetite, anxiety, weight loss, brain fog, doom and gloom feeling. The list goes on and on. Its so depressing and doctors don't even understand where im coming from. Plus im dealing with high blood pressure too. Its such a misery and i completely understand how you feel. Thank God for this forum so we can support one another, as most people i know don't understand whats happening to me..
Thanks for your reply! This forum allows to hang onto some of my sanity! We will keep supporting each other. :)
I feel exactly the same. I'm 43 with two small children (had them later in life) and feel like such a bad mummy as all I want to do it lay down. I'm putting it down to hormones otherwise I am dying (sorry dramatic but thats how I feel). I hope this passes for us all soon I just want to feel like myself again. I can't make you feel better other than to say its nice to see others are feeling as bad as me (I don't mean that in a bad way obviously). x
Hi!! I totally hear you! And many days, I also feel like I'm dying. Thanks for weighing in. I appreciate it so much! Take care!
