    Hi Laurie I feel like this every day, as soon as I get up out of bed it starts, been having these symptoms for nearly one year, been on 4 different types of HRTs. Came of livial on Monday and started estradot 25 micro grams patch and natural progesterone tablets 1x daily on Tuesday, today the nausea & headache, dizziness is worse

    I'm hoping my bodies just getting used to it but I know how you feel with the balance problem, it's a nightmare

    Hope you can find something that gives you a bit of relief soon

    Take care xx

      A know what you mean about it being scary Laurie you start to wonder if menopause can cause all of these weird symptoms

      It makes me angry because I like to lead a whole busy life and these symptoms are holding me back and are causing so much distress , I often wonder why some woman get this off balance/dizzy drunk feeling and others don't

      I have a history of ME so I thought that was the reason my symptoms are so severe, I'm just fed up with it all now, iv'e even had to give my job up as a result of all this and they say it's a natural transition in a woman's life

    Yes, all of the above. I get the night sweats all the time, and fuzzy just about every other day. It's all very normal symptoms during peri and menopause.

    Yes i get this, often if I've been busy and not eaten, low blood sugar or sometimes just get it. I find it passes if I sit down for a bit but you do sort of physically remember it all day.

      Forgot to say have you had your B12 tested, low B12 can cause these sort of symptons, you could try a sublingual spray and see if it helps.
