I’m here! How are you doing, Juanita?
Hi Juanita!! I was thinking that too! How are you? I finally started amitripyline 2 nights ago for migraines. Just waiting on my period, so I can start this new birth control...figures it usually comes every 21 days...on 28th day...dammit. Also, made an appointment at a major eye and ear hospital in the city to see a vertigo specialist. Feel crappy today...binge watching Teen Mom OG...when I watch them...things look mighty normal in my world 😁
Hi Juanita - Same here, didn’t get any messages for a few days (felt like my family deserted me) I think something went haywire with the notification settings - seems like back on track -
Yes it’s been quiet ... I am dealing with my Epstein Barr 🙄
hi juanita
hope you're having a good day. I'm doing good today and almost feel normal except for my legs being sore. not anywhere near what they felt like last week. hugs to all💚💙
Hi all - I thought this too...yesterday I posted a thread and then spent all day thinking "poor me, boohoo, nobody has replied to me!!
I then looked at my notifications on Patient website and saw that they had "blocked" my email address. You just have to click one "validate/verify" button and then it'll start sending you email notifications again. Patient have updated their website so I guess it's that. I'm used to my inbox being full of Patient - Menopause forums in the morning so had to investigate why I had no emails! (sad, I know!).
As it turned out, lots of people had replied to me - I just hadn't had the email notifications to tell me so ![]()
On another note, a long weekend of hormone hell here. I am tempted to do some late in life training to become a GP so I can educate everyone on this total torture...…..it seems like nobody knows a da*n thing about it until they're plunged headfirst into it.
"You might get a bit fat and sweat a bit" when you go through the "change" they said - WHAT A LOAD OF TOTAL TOSH.
That has happened to me to not sure why I'm not getting any emails... I have tons of notifications of new post and comments though just not getting emails
I love this reply! I watch Jeremy Kyle in the UK to make things look mighty normal in my world! ![]()
I’ll have to look that 1 up! Ever watch 90 Day Fiancé...that’s another good...those people have more issues than a magazine! 😀
I've had the same problem
Hey Lou, you will have to keep me updated on your amitripyline journey as I've been prescribed it but not taken it yet as been having an ok few weeks so only want to take if really have no choice. He gave it me for anxiety.
Hi Sarah, this may be a duplicate post... I will! Only taking 5mg until weekend...then I will go to 10.
Juanita - it's great to hear from you! Things do seem different on the forum; I am going to check my settings as Lou suggested. I am doing so much better on the emotional side since starting that progesterone cream. I still get NEW physical symptoms each week and I will be thankful for the day that I will be unbothered by it. There is a GIF of a 'cute monkey unbothered'; it makes me laugh and I hope it's me someday when I go through the daily and weekly weirdness that is all over the board. I hope all is well with you; been thinking of you as you are starting with new leadership again at work. I enjoy being on this journey with you dear sister. HUGS
Lou - I know it's spilt milk for me; the fact that this "total torture" blindsided me in June. I keep whining to myself about it; why did they teach us about our periods and childbirth and nothing about this nightmare that will hit 20 - 30% of us? UGH! I'm very thankful for the 66 symptom list (though I think there are still a few that are not on that list) ...and yet that is just the PHYSICAL list. I keep reflecting on Juanita's post about weird intrusive thoughts. That post had TONS of replies as so many of us could relate. It's the roller coaster that is so hard to get used to as you don't know when the symptoms will show...it's the unpredictability that's hard to get a handle on. The other one is the moods that come with my flashes! When this happens in public or when I am around others?...the internal thoughts are "okay I think this is a flash, I feel weird, I feel like I might cry - okay wait...maybe now I might have a bathroom attack, yep my chest and neck are sweating etc etc" Oh if it were only the flashes. It's a total load as you say.
Maybe cos I’m now on the EBV and mononucleosis forum 🤣 sorry to abandon you ladies but I will keep checking in !
Having this virus I no longer know what is due to meno and what is due to the virus😖
Tough and complicated my life is right now !
Hi Juanita
ya know i was JUST thinking this.
I slipped away from the forum for a little while cuz i was gone, and having hard time etc.
i see few people out there, its a phenomena amongst us?
how odd.
im still pretty low and am just accepting it, getting support and trying to give it back.
hope you are doing well

I've missed your posts, Lori! You've abandoned us, LOL! I am hoping you are seeing better days - don't forget about us; we'd love updates.
Always love your posts, Lou, LOL!!!! I may have to consider some of these shows to keep my mind off my situation. I am waiting to hear how life will be for you once you get back on the pill...I'm hopeful you will see good results! ![]()
Mauiblue - it's nice to see you on here; have missed my "sisters" here. Sorry to hear you were having a hard time - I think of so many of you on a regular basis and wonder how you are doing. I do go back and forth sometimes wanting to come on here and vent...and then sometimes I wonder if it's helpful and encouraging; don't want to drag people down yet I know it was so comforting to me to know others were "with me". Take care, Maui - HUGS. Finny
