Dropping things
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have been dropping things SO MUCH! Every day I drop at least 2 or 3 things. This evening as I was getting ready to put 7 new fish into my fish tank the bag they were in slipped out of my hand and splashed all over my office floor. There I was frantically scooping tiny neon tetra fish off the floor and into the tank.
My husband (kindly) mentioned it to me that he has noticed me dropping stuff a lot recently. I told him it was probably menopause. But of course now my anxiety is kicking in and I want to make sure this is indeed just this "lovely" time and I am not ill with some horrible deadly affliction that my mind wants me to think is happening.
Ugh! I just want this to be done.

I drop things a few times a day. Usually Peri/Meno can bring out Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and you can drop things a lot. I hope this helps you.

You cracked me up! I'm always double and sometimes triple reaching!! I drop stuff and bump into things all day every day - used to be so coordinated. If it weren't for this forum I'd probably be depressed!
