Does anybody else feel as sick as an absolute dog for most of the month?
"Vital stats (my partner, not me)"!:
- 47 yrs old
- 6th year of Peri
- Periods becoming more irregular - last cycle was 70 days or so
- No HRT
- Fatigue is on the up - WOW is it on the up - particularly during the day, which is useful, NOT. She used to get insomnia quite often but now it's pretty much been replaced with incessant exhaustion
- sensitivity to noise, light and smell
- Hot flushes still happening but less sweating, and just more SICK SICK SICK
- Sudden angry outbursts then weeping not long after. Mood swings pretty horrendous but not like a couple months ago when I'm sure she was much more estrogen dominant
- Generally SICK AND TIRED OF FEELING SICK AND TIRED
I've noticed that she seems to have had a turn in symptoms, which coincided with stopping biodentical progesterone cream (approach with caution, BTW) and starting to take a DIIM supplement. She is less "elevated and whippy" (but still is occasionally) and is more fatigued and nauseous. She is ravenous often but terrified to eat.
I have researched this for years and she is on every supplement known to womenkind (apart from any natural estrogen replacement or hot flush remedies). I keep a daily diary. I'm hoping someone will recognise this change and tell me that it's a sign things are coming to an end in the ovary sector..........but please don't say it just to be kind - be brutally honest!!
In case it's not obvious from my username, I'm female, and have recently started to experience similar symptoms.........our household harmony and fun time is about to seriously increase!!!!!
