    I could have written your post myself! That's just how closely I can identify with your symptoms. I love your title, by the way, "Alice in Meno-land!" That is pure comedy! 😂

      Dear Sharcerv

      Can you? Yes I thought it helps to list our symptoms if only if it helps one or two people who can identify with some of them. From my experience any new symptom can be so worrying for someone and it helps to know we are not alone! Yes Alice in meno land! A strange and wierd place we can find ourselves!! Xx

      Yes unfortunately it can continue into meno, like I said previously alot of these symptoms have subsided but I wanted to pen my experience. Unfortunately some do rear their head again. Do you take magnesium for your anxiety? This has helped me greatly and avoid caffeine (which I still have) and I know that I shouldn't. X
