I am 59 yrs old. Been in menapause for several yrs. This is what I am experiencing. Every 2 to 3 weeks I have a spell, which I refer to as my chronic flu symptoms, where I just get very tired one day and start feeling bad. I know what's coming next. By night or next day I have a very achy neck then moves to my back and body. I am down in bed or chair for maybe 3 to 5 days then I pull out of it. I'm good to go back to my active life...energetic....then in couple more weeks same thing happens! When this started about 6 yrs ago I did go on HRT but stopped a few years ago. I went on black cohosh and primerose which seemed to do wonders for 2 yrs but now I'm back to it happening often again. In the last 11/2 yr I've lost 54 lbs and walk between 40-50,000 steps a week. Healthiest I have been in a long time. Can anyone else relate to this?
Posso me identificar...
Tudo bem, então começa o período, sintomas de gripe / dores nas costas como se fosse desmoronar, tenho que ter cuidado com meus movimentos para não puxar... 😫 Extremamente cansada, letárgica (não consigo nem me dar ao trabalho de falar!!) cabeça confusa.. uma semana depois começo a voltar ao normal... me preocupo em planejar coisas porque não sei como vou me sentir.. devo dizer que desde que estou neste site tem me ajudado a entender e conversar com outras mulheres.. agora sei que não está tudo na minha cabeça e não me sinto completamente inútil.. espero que todas nós nos sintamos normais novamente em breve..xx
Can totally relate 😞
It happens to me every 21days.. At first it was week before period but now my periods are less frequent and I still get it. Just started HRT and hoping it will ease it off a bit.
I am feeling like that right now as we speak. I was lying down a few minutes ago where I feel that I'm sure its the flu, now I know what it is! And on top of that, I feel depressed especially how am not working and home alone...all the time. Right now am sad and weak.
I do believe though, that it is partially a mental thing. So I'm trying to think of positive things that would drive me out of the house. I don't really very rarely feel hungry, so I snack on anything that kind of relieves my pain...like milk shakes, KFC and lemonade...This thing is making me crazy!
I think I need a Shrink???
Thank you everyone for your feedback! I missed work again today just still feeling so lousy and achy. I am going to shake things up a bit by stopping my black cohosh and primrose and then start Estroven. Natural herbal supplement. Hope it will help in breaking this cycle of every two weeks I am down for anywhere 2 to 5 days! Then repeat in two weeks. Baffling because I feel great in between! I joined Weight Watchers 1 1/2 ago lost 54 lbs reached Lifetime 6 was ago. I walk for excercise. Last week I felt great and walk 50,000 steps by Friday. Next day flat down in bed😩
Keep you all posted. You all do the same, too. Anyone else out there that can relate to our story?
Isso faz muito sentido para mim. Eu me senti como se tivesse um vírus que não vai embora. Dores no corpo, quente e pegajosa, e me sinto exausta o tempo todo, além de um estômago muito sensível e irritado. Minhas menstruações pararam por meses, mas voltaram este mês e estão bastante intensas.
