Are your symptoms constant or do they change?

Would love to hear more about folks symptoms.  Are they constant or do they wax and wane.  I had a week of metallic taste and peeing like crazy - then totally fine.  I had a week or two of hot flashes (right before period was due) with crazy PMS (sore breasts) but then this month nothing.

Is that "normal"?

      That's funny that you mention the off balance with anxiety Kim. Yesterday I was walking with a friend to help the anxiousness and had to steady myself. I fell to the right, my friend grabbed my arm and it was as though I was drunk!! I never put it together until I read your comment.

    I think for me it definetly varies month to month and some months can be horrendous. I always feel tired and get the night sweats particularly when due on but the moods vary and can be very up and down. I've also noticed this month that my sleep is interrupted too hence a 4am reply!!!

    Thanks All!  You ladies are awesome.  Better than valium for calming anxiety.
