WHAT A LOAD OF COMPLETE SH*TE. 

I'm furious with Peri/Meno and general hormone hell. 

What I wouldn't give for the "worst" thing to be being a flabby, sweating *itch. 

The reality is so beyond debilitating. 

Does anyone else spend all day in bed sometimes/often?! The sloth has literally become my favourite animal 😳

    I woke up at noon. Rolled out of bed to brush my teeth.. didnt bother to brush my hair! Walked into the kitchen and unloaded the dishwasher. Looked for some brioche bread because that's all I felt like eating. We didn't have any, so I grabbed the box of Life cereal and walked to the game room and sat down and watched my husband put together my drawing desk as I ate my Life straight from the box. It is now 2:30 and I have done nothing! I have an Apple Watch and have taken 426 steps total!! I have done 0% of my exercise goal and have burned a whopping 42 calories!! 😜 My goal for the day is to fix dinner! Woohoo! And maybe brush my hair 😜 And maybe hit 1000 steps! 😂 So yes, I have days I do nothing and spend way too much time in bed!

      I’ve not picked an outfit out in months wear the same sweatshirt and leggings every day .. when I’m better I’m never wearing them again ! I think I last  washed my hair 3 weeks ago I just wash the front the sides and then stick it up in a ponytail.

      Been tempted to get it all cut off but know I’ll regret it . I did get a pedicure last week but just wanted them to hurry so I could get out of there . Everybody bothers me and smiling is a thing of the past !

      I just told my mom today that I don't care what I look like.I wear workout clothes all the time,and I don't even work out,and I used to love fashion.I have a hair appointment Thursday,haven't been since May.I am hoping I can sit there and not wig out.This is a,most becoming laughable,if I didn't feel so cray cray.We passed a homeless man laying on the side of the road talking to himself,and I thought this will probably be me before this is all over.

    Lou - yes; my days seem to consist of doing the bare minimum. I am horizontal it seems most of the time that I can be. I sometimes wonder if WHY this is so difficult on some of us is because we really had a zest and passion for life before this all hit????!!!

    We could do 100 things a day and juggle and wear many hats in our lives. Maybe that's what we all have in common here? We went from this strong energy and passion for life - to a new normal that is fatigue, physical discomfort and the constant new and unknown. 

    Well...at least that's how it is for me. I thank God for the times that I had good health until age 49! I thank Him and I feel bad that I took so much for granted. When I get dizzy here and there during certain times; I took for granted being able to drive and do things for myself.

    I took for granted waking up with "my List" of all that I was going to accomplish that day.

    Oh how it felt so good to be productive and give back!!!!!!

    I am thankful for all of you on this forum that are HONEST. TRANSPARENT. Willing to share. It helps me to know that I am not alone. I'm so much better than I was in June - I'm getting "better" at accepting each new physical symptom - most times I'm able to reassure myself it's Peri. I'm learning to have more compassion for others that have health struggles. It's humbling.
