ok so im already so sick of all of my symptoms, nausea and loss of appetite are at the top if the list, but just this year ive been dealing with intense dizziness and faint feelings around ovulation and before/during my period! I have actually fainted once that sent me to the hospital because my teeth went through my lip! Does anyone else do this!! Im so sick and tired of thus garbage, im only 43 yrs old and every year i seem to get worse and worse. I hate to see how bad it will get in the next 10 years before i hit actual menopause. I want it to end

    I am so sorry that you are going thru this sh.t, but dizziness is quite normal during peri and actual menopause, and I have experienced it many times, but luckily never so much that I actually fell down or fainted.

    If you are able to recognize when a dizzy spell is coming up or you feel faint, maybe the best way forward would be to sit down or lean against a wall or whatever so that you don't hurt yourself once more.

    No idea what helps, but drinking enough water throughout the day helps a lot - atleast it helped me.

    Hope it gets better...

    i nearly blacked out in the bath, stood up to use body scrub and had to lean on the wall, i get it every month, its been worse since my periods are super close together so hopefully (fingers crossed) it will improve when they get lighter and further apart x

      yes both times and it generally lasts a whole week during ovulation and about 3 days before, during and 3 days after my period! so basically i suffer with this a total of 21-24 days out of the month!! Thats a long time to suffer with symptoms
