Ok ladies - I've been following all your chats about odd peri symptoms for ages now, ticking off some of them for myself but most of them only manifesting lightly - if that makes sense!
Not a lot of what I say DOES make sense these days!
Anyway, I have just been doing nothing more strenuous than washing up, then I carried my mug of coffee over to the computer and sat down. Picked the mug up with my right hand, as usual, and it suddenly felt too heavy to lift! Okay, so it's a craftsman's mug by Denby - never lightweight creations - but this is ridiculous! I've just had to use both hands to drink the rest of the coffee (I'm an avid tea-drinker, but I have a coffee on a Sunday morning coz it tastes like the right thing to do - along with a bacon and egg butty for brunch!).
My background is I am fast approaching 50 in a few weeks but my periods are regular as clockwork, lasting between 7 and 10 days - spotting for a few days, excruciating pain and flooding for a day or so, then back to spotting - pretty normal for me.
I was getting the random hot flushes up to last year but now it's random night sweats that have only my chest drenched (is that normal - just the chest?).
The worst of symptoms is brain fog and confusion - and, for the past so many weeks, dreadful unexplained fatigue, whether I sleep through the night or not! Sometimes I get the odd dizzy spell, usually lasting mere seconds, but it can leave me feeling washed out and woozy, like migraines used to.
Bouts of depression - those have been going on for a few years now, but life has been difficult anyway, so not necessarily peri. Been very down and weepy the last couple of days though not so bad today. By my reckoning I am about at ovulation time - had very sharp stabbing pains in the nether regions for a couple of hours on Friday - could have been related.
Anyway, that's me at the moment! Not on any pills or supplements (can't afford anything at this moment in time!) yet, though have some Fluoxetene for when things get bad enough to risk them!
Anyone else getting the odd and temporary bout of weakness? Oh, and my teeth can randomly hurt - like an electric shock when I bite something hard - but my dentist says everything is fine!
