just want to sum up ..... gave up food gave up drinking hardly any sleep exercise takes all my energy and i am sore for days no sex drive i am lucky to poop bloated more than not soft squishy boobs huge appetite always freezing chin whiskers late periods early periods feeling drunk forgetful compulsively regretful uninterested in cooking for family no social life pimples that wont pop and take forever to heal anger over normal aggravations sensitive mouth AM I MISSING ANYTHING??
that pretty much sums it up for me, apart from aching joints and deteriorating eye sight!!
you just described me and i can add more to that list. Ugh i pray for better days for all of us 
That summed it up except I have no appetite. I think thats the anxiety part of it though. I’m so anxious and worried about everything that its made a mess of my stomach!
That’s me but for the leaking pee , which is down to my pelvic floor dropping into the basement.
Christ !!! why bother getting up in the morning… oh I remember to try and find my one bra that fits that I put down somewhere but can’t remember where. Boobs hanging over my navel lol.
Who’d be a woman men have it far easier.!!!
.
how about UTI s heartburn insomnia more Grey hairs the feeling of anger ,moody, and hating yourself for snapping someones head off, hot flushing ,night sweats
have every symptom you just said and feel the same way i never had pimples in my life and now i get them all the time and these are like boils on my face hard to pop and takes forever to heal. this has depressed me so bad going through this crap.
You nailed it… 
If you don’t mind, how old are you and how long have you been in perimenopause?

Add in dizziness, migraine aura, and vision issues!
Ugh…exactly..feeling so unattractive..on top of all the other stuff☹
oh yes!! that is the worst..like an ugly old hag!!! NEVER had skin issues like this!
Hi Christine! I share most of that list with you, except for the poop- I’m the opposite, which also sucks. The one on your list that stood out the most for me was “feeling drunk”. On my bad days, that is exactly how I describe how I’m feeling- I feel either drunk or really hungover. But gave up alcohol a long time ago. It’s the best way to describe it and it sucks, but I feel weirdly comforted that someone else feels the same. Also, no social life. Just wanna hang out in my sweats with my dogs. I had no idea hormones could mess with a person so much. Hope you’re doing OK.
i get migrane aura too!! i hate this and it makes me feel so rubbish (on top of everythjng else!) . glad to know its not just me xx
you are so sweet. thanks for the kind words. we are all in this together.
Did you have it before peri?
Yes miss all of this plus heart palps acid relux headaches vision woes sinus infection constantly yup been going through this almost 3 years and Im only 42!!!
yas girl!!! i am 49 but it started around 36 with migraines and the worst allergies and major heartburn . the symptoms have changed over the years. when one goes away another pops up. there weirdest was claustropobia and a weird fear of driving.
i hope i am on the downward slope of this.
hang in there
much love
