Hi Ladies, hope you're doing ok. Thanks to those who've replied to my posts, is comforting to know we're all going through the same thing & in varying degrees. Even though I can laugh n joke to try & ease this, at times, unbearable woefulness of hormonal insanity, I am inside screaming for normality, I'm broken, I'm not coping, I'm on the verge of giving up on life, I'm miserable, I'm scared of being eternally stuck in this whirlpool of hormonal insanity I'm drowning in, I'm like a jigsaw with pieces that no longer fit together....

I'm not me! 🙍

 'Funny how smiling n laughing can hide a multitude of misery'  

love to all

    I don't often comment but felt I had to as what you are describing was me when I was in my peri totally. I think I saw every specialist possible with dizziness palpitations mental health I was in total despair and thought my life was over . But I'm posting this to say it does get better hun I'm 4 years post now still have a few hot flushes and PMT feelings but generally most of it has passed and I'm back to where I was before I started the menopause. I did find a small dose of antidepressants helped a little bit. I felt I wanted to post this to just say hang in there hun there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. Xxxx

      Hi Bobbins hang in there feel very sad reading your post today I'm feeling yuk too got new nose drops seem to be a little better but still got headache congestion and now stiff neck I think it's all anxiety do you get weired sensation in your arms too? I always feel on edge even when I try to do meditation I feel I cannot relax because my stupid mind tells me this isn't going to work instead of looking on the positive side ha ha. Did my blood pressure yesterday is was high and my pulse was racing I do have atrial fribullation and of course this set the anxiety off even more I shouldn't look at things lol. Let's hope today we look in the mirror have a good laugh and put our worries in the rubbish bin. Take care hugs and kisses xx

    Hi all,

    I hope my comments help someone.  Since I went into menopause last year, I've had a horrible time sleeping; so I went to a new doc a month ago.  I have been on one type of SSRI or another since my twenties, and he added mirtazepine to the prozac.  I couldn't believe it.  It worked.  I am now able to sleep.  Ambien did not work at all.  I was at my wits end.  So, I would say to keep doctor shopping until you can find someone who can help you.  I thought my problem was hormonally related and that there was no help for me!  You just have to keep trying and, hopefully, something will work for you.
