Good afternoon Ladies,

 I think I just need some reassurance that I am not a hypochondriac!  I only found out I was Peri about six weeks ago I went to my doctor because of my night sweats I was worried that I had diabetes as they had been happening for a while and my eye sight seemed to be getting worse. When I sat down with my GP she explained I was starting my menopause and these were the symptoms starting. Ok I thought now I know it’s a relief, but in the last three weeks I feel like I am falling apart! I am so tired (I crash at work which is embarrassing) I feel sick all the time and I have terrible heart burn, I can handle the flashes but it’s the feeling so low that is getting to me. I have suffered with depression before when my Mum suddenly died but I don't think I felt this bad I really cant concentrate I forget silly things am I going mad surely things cant change so quickly...can they? I really have no energy for work or home all I want to do is sleep then I cant!  Sorry Ladies I just not the type of person to go to the doctors usually and for all this to start so quickly I am worried I am imagining it I feel like a hypochondriac always moaning to my poor hubby, I don’t have any friends I would talk to about this and I feel that I would be moaning if I did, so any advice or just reassurance that I am not going mad would be great. I started taking EPO, vitamin B6 and Vitamin D to see if they help but nope! Thank you in advance Ladies

    Hello, no you arent going mad, but it does feel horrible.   I have just started getting the symptoms, and if I hadnt known better I could have thought i was pregnant last week.  Nausea, migraine, exhausted, memory useless and lightheaded.   I am having a blood test next week, just to check its not anything else, but i can guarantee i am going to be told i am peri.  I have started taking herbal tablets but if they dont work I will take anything to make me feel better.  Good luck, just remember you arent on your own.

    Thank you Ladies, all your support has helped me so much, I now have my MRI next week for the pains in my hips and back and slowly the more I understand this the better I feel the aches and pains are still the same but at least I know why which helps. Have a great weekend ladies and again thank you xxxx
