Allergy-like symptoms during peri

Thanks at least I know this is something that sometimes happens.

Yeah it is definitely no fun.

Yes Dottie i agree on the Bahamas!!!Do you have sensitive eyes to sunlight also?There are days I think my eyes are gunna pop out of my head and then headache creeps up!!I wish all this would pass very fast...

Yeah, I get the tight eye feeling and am sensitive to light as well. It is very uncomfortable.

I have the unfortunate fate to live in Louisville, Kentucky allergy capital of America! Lol! I keep telling my hubby we need to pack up the kids and move to my hometown in New York city.

Oh boy!!Poor thing...i live in the great Illinois and they are bad here this year!!!Hope you get to feeling better soon...

Thanks! 

Haha. This made me smile. I'm 49 and this morning I told my husband I feel 93!

I have nausea every morning.  Morning sickness.  My mother in law said maybe you are pregnant laughing.  No sympathy from anybody.   hehe My husband is really good and feels bad. I am house bound.  I don't even have a tan.  My mom didn't have any symptoms and stopped bleeding just like that.  I am down to 1/2 a day with hardly anything.  I hope this will be over soon so I can get some sun!

Oh bleas you Dottie..

morning sickness that cant be nice at all... my mum was a quick one too, all done and dusted in two years and by the age of 44.. natural way.. no HRT.

Try some ginger tabs they are good for sickness feelings..

Hi Dottie

well if yoj feel sick, ginger tabs are excellent... and B6 is a must, Doctors should be telling you to take calcium and vit D for bone protection and I am just about to get Vit K2 for bones too..

Vit B 6 is amazing and we lack it big time in peri.. and it assists the peri weight too, I lost no end of weight.. and I didnt even need too.. 

I also take... Menapol Plus x two daily,  Maca, vit B6 150mg daily, Iron, Vit B12, Natecal ( vit D and calcium mix), Doctors ar e sometimes not very forward about what we need.. but when i was fisrt peri 10 years ago, the B6 the doc prescribed for me and told me to take Calcium and Vit D for bone protection.. I didnt thrn realise the B6 was so important as same thing ... he never said so I didnt bother with it.. if only I had known then what I know now. its the little bit of magic that changes my life since April..

also.. magnesium I take for hot flushes, as these came back when I stopped taking it.. 

not sure what yours contain what you take.. but think about it..

and ginger tabs deffo.. feel better you will.... Jay xx

 

Hi Dottie

found what yours centrum performance contain.. not nearly enough B6 or B12 for sure... not especially for peri menopause i dont think, they are an all rounder for everyone.....  maybe you need to have a change for more peri type of vits if your feeling yukky... dont feel yuk... 😩 they are obviously not helping much ... bless you...

Oh great list JayJay I had to use a magnifying glass to read the bottle here haha. Maybe my doctor came from a Cracker Jack box?  Could be.  :D

I just started the vitamins last week.  I asked my doc about B12 and she never said anything.  Just take a daily vitamin she said...plus the Ensure vitamin drink was good enough.  I was vomitting too with the nausea so the vitamins are helping cause I haven't barfed since.  I am not a pill popper unless I really need to but I heard about B 12 but my doc said dont need it.  auggghhhh

Hey JayJay did some research . There is 26% of B12 in the Ensure drink.and the same for calcium.  I may be okay then eh?  I drink that Ensure everyday and my multi vitamin.  

Hi Dottie

no disrespect but your doctor sounds hopeless... ...

i give up with them... ' got all the gear and no idea'

been trila, error and research for me.. tried and tested 😃

Jay xx

Thanks JayJay you could be right there haha  I will seek something new cause I feel like crap.  I am too young to die :D

Hey JayJay what's up?    I see B12 is great for vertigo and dizziness. I have dizziness 24/7.  I was diagnosed vertigo by the doc in the hospital emergency I went cause I was throwing up so much so dehydrated.  More vitamins will surely help me.  Thank you for your expertise!! I shall live to see 98!!!

Hi Dottie

i have B12 injections... i have one every 2 weeks... they are Optovite B12.

the celebs have them for energy and youth ... even simon cowell 😀

hahahaha

yes its good for alot of things, and we lack that too.

I use to take Jarrows 5000mcg B12 they were the strongest.. so with the B6 and B12 ... i am pretty dandy... also my nails blimey never been so long and strong, a woman asked me where i had my nails done last night she thought they were glued on ... normally they are splitting and bend ... but now hahaha they look fab.. Jay xx

Hey JayJay with fab nails to boot!  

I thought Simon looked sexier!! He actually seemed happy too! :o

I can get B6 pill form? Should I get B12 pill form? I'll get calcium too.

My daughter is working at Walmart right now and asked her to bring me home some drugs :D

Jay xx

Should I go back to the family doctor to get injections. blech

Night night JayJay don't let the bedbugs bite (my mom used to say that to me every night)

God no don't use up those energy vitamins.  Maybe next year you will get a pool boy!  

Thank you to my lady in Spain.  . It's 6 am here.  Took my many vitamins and feel the best I ever had.  No nausea and no dizziness!  I had vitamin deficiency.  Ya know if mama ain't happy...nobody is happy!  :D

Greetings doctor jay jay!   yup feel better already.  Even made pancakes for Breakfast! . Didn't have nausea this morning nor dizziness.  I have been suffering since March.  I am on the mend!  B12 is good for vertigo and dizziness.   Yup knowledge is powerful eh?  Doctors can kiss my behind! haha. I will just give my friend JayJay a ring! I had to go all the way to Spain to find this out.  Thank you!  xxoo

Hi Dottie..

i bought some more magnesium today couldnt find the K2 here..

my magnesium i use now is efferevescant, plop it on a glass with water and drink it.. i got a different one today also has abit ( just abit) of B6 in too hahahaha thought brill ... cant go wrong on that ...  keeps my hot flushes at bay magnesium, i took it for years in tablet form, never had a hot flush, and stopped taking it... and good god i started having about up to 20 day flushes or flashes as you know them as a day, and now thats sorting its self again, maybe have the odd one, but it is roasting here in spain at the moment..

AC is on big time... 

so what are you taking Dottie 150mg B6 a day ? what B12 did you get..

Jay xx

My lovely friend in Spain,

If you get a pool boy you'd have even more hot flashes! haha

i will tell you what I took this morning:  One of each Jamieson Brand, Omega red super krill, calcium, B12 250 mcg, vitamin D 25 mcg, B6 100 mg, multi vitamin Centrum Performance, one a day fruit-ssentials gummie multi vitamin.  I don't take any other medications and eat lotsa fruit and try to drink 2 big glasses of water everyday.  Maybe I overdosed?

JayJay. I mean I took then last night dear.

Hi Dottie

Nice one, i got my fruit today .... Think i eat half a melon a day at the min and grapes are fab here at the moment.. Didnt get my auto pool vac , out of stock, typical, the put them on offer and sell out .. Going to another store tomorrow evening see if they have one.. 😢

Off to get some shut eye now, gone midnight here .. Take care Jay x 

Morning JJ,

So that list is good then?  I read Magesium is great too.  Eating fruit helps my nausea so eat lots early in the morning but didn't need fruit this morning! It's wierd but with premeno I crave for fruit.  I never did before.  Somebody up there loves me after all. hehe. I thought I was dying.  Let's talk soccer....

I was embarrassed as I love soccer.  Watched most of it cause I was couch bound with nausea.  Canada couldn't even round up a team.  Think Canada itself is hopeless dear!

Hi JJ  Chewing gum helped with my nausea because my mouth was sooo damn dry in the mornings so the gum freshened so didn't feel like vomitting
