Yes, a few years ago I started having issues with my vision strength flucuating, occasionally blurry and began getting dry eye. Scared the heck out of me. Then about a year (eye doctor never made the connection) I found out, this is common during this time. Good to have the eyes checked to rule out other things, but most likely it's this lovely time we are in.
Sorry you are feeling shaky and weepy. You are not alone and thankfully it passes. I know it is no consolation right now but hopefully you'll feel better quick.

I havn't seen any of your posts before as I have only just joined this site. Sorry you are not good today. Sounds like you could have an anxiety issue tied in with menopausal symptoms, which is not unusual. The shaky/weepy/ vision problems can be linked to anxiety. As I do not know your full situation, I can only say keep posting how you are feeling. It does help. (I post on the anxiety site as well) Good Luck.

Just to let you know I have read your reply and can identify with it entirely. Strangely enough I only posted a similar comment about being a "born worrier" a few days ago to someone who has suffered from childhood. What I was inferring to them was that I genuinely believe some of us "inherit" these anxiety genes from somehwere, or we have a constant seratonin imbalance. Whatever it is it does make life difficult. Glad yiu have an understanding hubby. Mine came to some group meetings with me, so he could understand some of it. I was astounded to find people there from all walks of life, different ages and so on. The tutor was a male nurse and a lifelong sufferer of anxiety, so we felt pretty comfortable among ourselves. Just think on one thing.....I read recently that it is usually the more intelligent people who suffer anxiety! Ha Ha! Hold on to that thought! lol. Good Luck.

You know I think you are right about inheriting the genes coz its funny my mum was a bad worrier ..my dad to suffers with nerves ..more so when he was younger tho ..and my daughter is exactly like me we are like 2 peas in a pod when it comes to worrying ...I wish I could be ever so laid back and take life as it comes and not worry about anything i even worry if ive feed the birds enough in the garden ha ha ....i must admit tho its my health I worry about the most if i get the slightest ailment ..I fear the worse ...what am i like lol
Thankyou CruiseLady for getting back to me I appreciate it

Hope all works out for you. I know you were taking kelp before and I was considering it. I always thought that one was helpful for the thyroid gland. It will be interesting to see what is suggested tomorrow, as I've tried everything but kelp really to help out my apparently slower metabolism. Not a fan of certain meds (my mother had to take them as well) for the thyroid. At this point, if it helps with this latest symptom to stop feeling like 100 yrs old and walking like a penguin-(shared that description with my husband, he laughed and said you are spot on!) along with losing the 20 extra pounds gained this pass year without increasing intake, I'll be thrilled. The bonus will be to have some energy. Right now I am forcing myself to keep going, but honestly, could sleep endlessly without giving it a second thought!
Please let us know what you find out about your situation. Â Hope the shingles are letting up and that your lower back is healing as best as can be. That is another area that has weakend on me. I too have issues with L5 and S1 but wow, this latest issue has caused the lower back to take backseat for now.
Hugs to you!

Kelp is brill, but had to stop it for 3 weeks so it doesnt mess with thyroid tests, they were still of conerneven taking kelp ( underactive) my mum has taken thyroxine for umpteen years, shes now 84 ( no HRT ) 😃
Kelp for me (1000mg a day x 1) stopped hair loss, it works too, a doctor here in 2011 told me to take it due to hair loss and hormone decline, also he did the old iodine test on me, on the inside of arm and wooooo my body drank it, he commented on my cold hands etc, didnt even go for that, he was alternative therapy doc, and noticed my cold hands when he gave me a leaflet.
Bug hugs annie
