    Your a bit like me. Since December I don't know what has happened to me. Looking back over the last 5 months it seems unreal.

    As far as i have read on the internet, it seems some women get these symtoms even if they are not in peri. All i can think of is strengthening my immunity with extra dose of Vitamin C, Echinacea and other immunity boosters. Since peri started at full swing i can't eat salads or raw veggies. I need to eat more fruits i guess. One more symtom to my growing list sad
