Hi Ladies
I have been on my own dealing with peri menopausal symptoms for a very long time now. Indifference from medical professionals and a strict clamped jaw policy from any woman I have tried to discuss this subject with has left me feeling utterly isolated.
I wanted to introduce myself and hope to be part of the community so I can share my experiences, give and receive advice and support.
I feel better already just knowing there is a community of women out there who are willing to be open about the fact that menopause is happening. I have already learned a lot just scanning these pages.
Looking forward to more chats.

Hi DD, Welcome. This forum has been my lifeline on many occasions over the past three years. You can moan to your hearts content and ladies listen! Great advise always an email away to see you through this testing time. Take care. X
Welcome. This site was a godsend when I was going through my op and now menopause. Ask away even if it sounds silly. I bet you there will be others going through the same 😊
Welcome my love. I agree wholeheartedly with the other ladies. This site is truly a Godsend. Ive woken up with severe anxiety this morning been getting palpitations all night. They go for a while but last two days they are back with a vengeance.
Ive been in perimenopause eight years im now 48. Feel free to come here as often as you need to.
If it wasn't for these ladies I would have lost the plot a long time ago xx
Yeah just to add I convince my self something is wrong with my heart even though tests have said there isn't.
Oh did I mention the health anxiety
Welcome my menopausal friend 😂
Welcome DD, youve come to the right place, as Debbie says you can moan your heart out hear knowing someone, most of us are or have been through the exact same thing. I think our moans should be made into a book and every doctor should be made to read it too! At least now my husband believes im not just making up excuses lol
Take care

What a fantastic idea. Just want to know do any of you ladies have palpitations or heart poundings. Ive had ecg and heart monitor and all clear but the last couple of days they are constant. Making me really depressed as it sends my anxiety through the roof x
Hi DDDivine!
Welcome to the forum! One thing you will never have to worry about on this forum is any of us snubbing you . No question is too weird or out there that we haven't heard. The women here are wonderful, warm and sympathetic. You came to the right place.
Let me just say, I joined this forum nearly two years ago and I thank God for it. I started having peri symptoms at age 39 after a c section. I am 41 now and they have intensified. When I started getting them, I thought I had some terrible disease. But I stumbled upon this forum quite by accident. But it has been a blessing. I have had so many questions answered and fears put to rest by the experiences we exchange here on this forum. Once again welcome to our sisterhood!
I take a beta blocker to stop them Hun as been in hospital many times with them x Palpitations I mean xx
Hi hun
What a lovely post you wrote x
Thank you. Im going back to my doctor tonight. I have a funny feeling my iron count is low again. Just stopped iron as ny levels had gone bck up. But getting symptoms again. When I say palpitations when I take my blood pressure and pulse its fine. Between 65-80 at most beats a min. Blood pressure good also. Would that warrant a beta blocker as doc says its normal. Do you take them all the time x
It feels like its pounding to me x
Yes Hun as I have high blood pressure so do take them all the time I went doctors today and my liver function is slightly higher than normal apparently normal is .33 mine is .45 dunno if anyone knows anything about it?? So Gotta cut down on the wine now Jesus it is my selvage at times 🤔
Yes Michelle i get the palpitations as well, usually at night when im lying down out of the blue, it seems theres no part of our bodys left untouched by the menapause, peri or pro, each stage has its own nastys.

Oh hun bless you. I feel like that having to give up tea cause of the caffeine. I dont vhave high blood pressure so mayb they wont give me a beta blocker. Im already on a low dose Ad for anxiety. Not really working atm x
I know they are horrid. Do you take anything for yours. I would say mine are more like I can notice my heart beat and become fixated on it. The most its been is 80 beats a min but it feels much more. Its stressing me out. I will get it for days at a time then it goes away for a while only to come back x
Hi DDDivine
Welcome to the group. I know that i have been experincing a lot of menopause symptoms and yes it has made me quite sick can't even eat today. Woke up in the middle of the night with a bad stomach ache had a lot of diarrhea and threw up too. Did not sleep after that was really restless and not feeling good. Nose kept dripping little bit of blood too so today i am just resting.
Hi DD,
like you i am so gllad I found this site. I am suffering but many of the symptoms a lot of you are but actual;ly think that after reading some posts im getting off lightly at the moment. I get breast pain, cant sleep at times, hot, cold etc etc etc..
Glad to speak to you Take care xx
Im confused whether im menopausal or depressed or both! Docs say depressed but this has gone on for years never an answer sometimes!
