Hi ladies

I just thought I'd just pop a quick post on to say I have officially entered my 2nd year of peri menopause today and guess what... I HAVE HAD A NORMAL DAY!!!!!

No aches and pains, no irrational thoughts, no mood swings, nothing and do you know what I know it probably won't last but by God I've appreciated this one day SO much .... I miss me, but I now know I'm still here I'm just sometimes overwhelmed by the symptoms of this stage of life that I lose myself. I will get to the other end of this chapter. Thank you all for your continued support and advice. Love to you all and squishy hugs to anyone having a bad day. Xxx Sheena xxx

    well done sheena!  It's great when you get the chance to feel like yourself again,even if, as you said, for one day.  You know you are still in there somewhere amongst the madness. Here's to more of them.!  Unfortunately, I've had 7 full bad days together, so hopefully I will get a good day soon.

      Thank you for your kindness. I've had a few "normal" days where I haven't wanted to rip anyone's heads off or burst into tears and hardly no pain, but I've got period due so today I've been a little grumpy and achy. I'll update once that has passed fingers crossed I'm getting my old self back. Squishy hugs sent to you x
