Cannot believe how awful I feel everyday. Each day adds a new ingredient 😔. Horrendous migraines and tension heads, dizzy spells, weird mouth sensations, fatigue, anxiety, nausea (OMG nausea !!!), sore nipples (sorry tmi) and NOW my vision All the ingredients to the perfect Peri. Anyone want to contribute feel free ? 🤷♀️
I know!! Now that you mention my mouth tastes like metal some days?? I also found now that I read about your vision that mine has gone worse and I'll soon have to get new glasses.... Honestly I'm 52 and some days feel 70!!!! When does this end???? I'm in my 3rd month of this!!!
Hi It's been hell. I differ with anxiety and panic attacks. Insomnia on occasion. As in last night. Joint pains also. Nausea on occasion just for fun. It really is so tiring sometimes. Try to laugh as best you can and keep busy. I find 2 glasses of wine at end of day are a great help for me. All the best. Your not alone
All of that except dizziness. My eyes were giving me trouble for a few months, but they are back to normal now. Just long enough for me to prepare for blindness.
Yep, totally know what you're going through, unfortunately. UGH. I felt like that every day this summer. I'm pleased to say that I've felt "normal" for the last 5 days-- yes, 5 whole days, whoopeee LOL
I look back and realize this peri-meno has been building since my mid-40's, getting progressively worse, so at almost 54 years old, I feel like I've paid my dues and deserve a break. HA, nature surely has other plans, right?
Hang in there.
You forgot hot sweats night and day!
Hang on in there. This is gonna be one hell of a ride! They say alcohol makes hot sweats worse? Mine cannot get worse so cheers 🍾
I can definitely agree with most of the symptoms you are feeling.
I wish I did have sore nipples, at least then I would still have feelings in them! I appear to not only lost all sensation from my nipples, but also my breasts as a whole. Labido has disappeared, the only interest I have is going to bed to 'try' and sleep!!!
For the last five nights, I have taken 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen, put socks on and a cotton t shirt (I have always slept naked) a pillow under my upper thighs/knees, and I have actually slept really quite well, considering that for over six months I have slept horrendously!! I don't have night sweats, I seem to get cold hands and feet!! During the day I have difficulty in controling my body temperature!
I have chosen to try and get through this with out any perscribed medication.
Are you on HRT?
Sent with love x
Morning lovely ladies me too all of what you have mentioned and more it really is a nightmare I have chosen to not take anything and just try ride it out but it really is hard there are so many symptoms and seem to change from day to day I think a glass or two at the end of the day is the least we deserve sending 🤗 xx
O dear one glass of wine and I'm on fire!!!!! And I don't really suffer from flushes but oh boy the vino!! ¡😂😂😂
Hi mrsgm
Lol short but sweat, cheers 🍷To you as well, bad nite and day hot flushes, but sod it mine are just the same if drink or not lol... while going through the menopause crap, need some thing to look forward to, 🤗X
I needed to truly to this, because I was just about to post the same! I am having terrible headaches and migraines, crashing fatigue and dizziness, but right now my vision is the worst thing. I feel like I am looking through fog all the time and I suddenly need my reading glasses for everything, so they are permanently planted on my head. Is this all really peri? xx
Exactly !!! If we didn't have a drink, we would still have the hot flush anyway so bottoms up I say!!!! My doc says I must try alternatives to hrt before I start it, well rose is my alternative 👍🏻
Yeah my doc says not to drink... but life with menopause is crap, and I can't take HRT so a glass of what ever you fancy at the end of the day is great by me 😆X
One glass🤦🏻♀️ Bet your doctor is a man !!!
Hey I've just had a drink and no hot flush !!! Best have another 👌
Lol love the way you are 🤗...
Yep doc is a man, but at 53 I'm enjoying a glass ( or2 )...
I use to be out every weekend with friends drinking and havin great time, but since menopause the woman I see in the mirror isn't me any more, I live on my own, so enjoy your yourself wen you can, its bad enough going through menopause😰, never mind stopping havin a drink all together ... you enjoy x
Well Sally today I decided I had to go to the optician. And guess what ?? Full time glasses for me , and dry eye as well. So £300 odd later. Verifocals. 😭😭😭. NOOOO.
Broke
Hormonal
And fed up
So yes these really are symptoms of Peri. 💐❤️💐
Hey I've just poured my 2nd glass of the evening, no sign of hot flush yet👌 Sure they will arrive in abundance with his mates about 2am. Bring it on ! Sleep is overrated anyway! (Only saying that as I'm off work this week) bet I won't be so blaze next week when I'm at work.
I'm going to try and ride this out, only because I don't like to give in.
Yes this is a horrid time but if we all got each other to help us through! We can do this !!!
Total right, at least we can smile at times through this😁 By being on here and havin a laugh with each other...
Docs next week to see what blood test says how far in to the menopause I'm at lol.... don't know what it should mean?? Or how you know your nearing the end lol ?? Been around 4 years since started havin this crap so 🤞Crossed...
Still on the first glass🍷I some times think I should stay awake at nite, then sleep in the day mite work 😂...you enjoy your drinks x2 lol 👍 X
Oooo can you have a test to see how far your into it?????
My last blood test said my fsh level was 200. God knows what that means but judging by my hot flushes I gather I'm into it!!!!
Lol well I'll tell you next week, wen I see my doc and whats it all means, not that he will do any thing other then say Iv just got to get on with it, so Iv heard if your period as stopped for 1 year then your over and done, I had my last period in march this year...
Knowing my luk I'll get to 11 month and have a period again😡.. then have to start again..
But we will see, must admit be nice to get my life back on track again and actually feel ME ..,
Its Aurtum and I'm still walking around in a t-shirt because hot sweats, every one eles is wrapped up in coats and scarfs, some one ask me if I was in my hot blood on Monday because I had t-shirt on 😆 Lol.. noooooo just that time of life haha x
