So tired and worn out with all this, was wondering if anyone else has had this horrid swimmy head feeling. Hard to describe but like you're not really here, wishy washy wobbly head like its full of water. Spaced out as if when I move my head to the left or right it's still in the middle ! Almost like a horrible hangover, but I don't drink. Just something else to worry about. Thanks ladies x

    Hi Lou

    I can sympathize with you. They actually call that brain fog. It's pretty common in perimenopause face and some people still have it in menopause. There are some things that can help out with that. Change in diet is critical which I know most people don't want to hear but as we get older we develop and tolerances for foods so you may want to start eating a lot healthier by cutting out the grains such as wheat eat more fruits and vegetables and very little animal protein. You can also take primrose oil and you may want to get your iodine levels checked which contribute to a lot of perimenopausal symptoms and issues with menstrual and reproductive parts of our body including the breast. Hope this helps

No HRT due to migraines, I'm 53. Thank you x

      You are definitely menopause especially since you don't have a uterus and not having your ovaries makes it worse. But you definitely should look into bioidentical hormone therapy which is identical to a woman's hormones I actually have an appointment next week to review my hormone results to start therapy and I am in my forties due to the extreme symptoms that I have based out of the 66 perimenopause symptoms I have a 63 of them. Hope this helps let me know how things go
