Hi all it’s me again with more worry! This last week I have had very little appetite and burping hours after I have eaten. Wore jeans yesterday which felt uncomfortable around my middle. Have definitely put weight on. My gran had ovarian cancer and now I’m in meltdown. Can you please tell me if you have experienced this xx
Yes I have experienced it......poor appetitie some days, feeling full quickly, not fancying my food and gassy. I seem to have good days and bad. I've read it alot on here with other ladies too. You have just replied to my thread so I know how how you feel about being in meltdown but try not to worry. Sending a hug xx
How old are you stresshead? I was 49 yesterday xx big hug to you too xx
I'm just about to turn 46. I have never felt so out of sorts and out of control before. Nobody warns you about how this makes you feel and there seems to be so many different things that can affect us. I understand why people get health anxiety.....I have been practically planning my own funeral !!
We are the same by the sounds of it. 💩isn’t it xx
Yep it sure is !! Thank God for sites like this where we can talk to other women going through it as I’m not sure even the medical professionals understand all the symptoms !!
Oh YES! My stomach has NEVER been so sensitive. Often vomit now days. There are days I can't eat Mexican food. Have a belly I can't lose. Look in the mirror and don't recognize the person looking back. Feel as though I have to give up everything and still won't feel good. The past few years have gradually gotten worse.
Do you feel full quickly Nancy ?
Health anxiety, depression, and just not being as mentally strong as I used to be have been my worse symptoms. My mind just goes to the worst places! It's a struggle every day to keep my mind in check. I have to pray. I always feel like I'm in fight or flight mode. My appetite goes up and down. I've lost about 12 pounds. The gassy phase is off and on.
Some days I only eat once a day because I'm just not hungry.
Guess it is just part of all this meno thing! I am very hungry some days and others, I can go the whole day without eating at all! Lots of gas, burps, and heartburn! I also feel nausea every once in a while! I have had so many symptoms since starting peri, that it’s ridiculous!
Don’t worry ... I’ve completely lost my appetite too . Lost loads of weight .you may have candida if you’ve got lots of wind / gas you can easily fix it with a yeast cleanse .
I have lots of wind both ends ☹️
Hey there,
Yes, I defo feel this... tonight I didn't eat my dinner as I just don't have an appetite... yet I'm bloated, tired and just feel horrid!
I go through bouts of hunger and then days of no appetite at all... I just want a chunk of chocolate and that's it!!
Not good. 😞
AJ. x
The only time I want to eat is after I’ve had my medical marijuana ! I used to love my breakfast now can barely get it down !
I have also been experiencing a lot of symptoms with my stomach. It seems that everything I used to be able to eat now upsets my stomach. I have felt lousy this whole week. I have gas pains and alternating diarrhea and constipation. It's horrible. I feel very hungry but as soon as I eat I feel sick. I'm so tired of feeling this way.
Hi Kate, yes I feel totally the same, this past year I’ve been getting symptoms for about 2 weeks every month, but this past month has been the worst - constant nausea, no appetite at all, depressed, major anxiety, waking at 5am every day, bloated - everything is tight ! And now today pain in my left shoulder and under my armpit - wtf??!! Been so worried I have cancer, this forum has kept me soon, really hope this passes soon for all of us x
Hi Kate... this has been an ongoing issue for me and I even had a camera down my throat due to constant wind and feeling nausea and I also developed IBS.
This is due to hormone level fluctuations and its awful.... But in time it will pass. Our digestion is slowing down which leads to build up of gas and the belching with me can be awful.
But it does calm down with time and I am living proof. I too thought id ovarian cancer as your mind goes into overdrive. Hang tight. Do you live in the UK? I get wind relief tablets from boots their own brand and they help me so much with the wind and nausea and I have tried everything and these are the best. A blue box with 36 in a pack. Large white tablets and carry them in your handbag with you all the time.
Drink water - and keep an eye on diet. I also take a probiotic tablet each morning which has helped. Got this from the health shop. Hope you feel better soon. CK
Hi carol thank you so much. I do live in the U.K. wind both ends is a real problem for me. I have never had a huge appetite ever and am someone that rarely feels hunger and I think I’m overthinking it because of my grandmother I’ve been using milk of magnesia and started taking a probiotic yesterday. Xx
Hi Lori been to doctor and have Candida xx
