Help!!!!
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hi everyone, after blood tests my GP has informed me that my ovaries have shut down and I'm now fully menopausal. I'm 46 and feeling dreadful and hope someone can give me some help and tell me if what I am experiencing is normal. My main symptoms are: severe lightheadedness, dizziness, strange (metallic) taste in mouth, blurred vision, feelings of being off balance, anxiety and generally feeling 'out of body', lack of concentration. The GP has suggested HRT but not for at least two weeks as my blood pressure is too high (has put me on meds for this) and needs it to stablise first. I've no reason to be depressed or anxious but I'm worried I'll never be 'me' again.
Many thanks, Debs

during the menopause. I honestly thought the menopause was just hot sweats and dry skins. Knowing that other people have these symptoms has made me realise I'm not imagining them. I've bought myself some Menopace today and will give them a try. Thanks again, Debs x

It's not fun I know. I've had low blood sugar dizziness, nausea, heavy chesty and groin pain bloated ness
Migraine, shivers sweats, 😁you name it!
But it's called menopause. I've just had a little return of a period this week after April 2012 that was the last one or so I thought! But the doctor is sending me for a ultra sound do I hope everything is okay. But I'm with you all. It's not very nice, either way. It's a pain when you got them and a pain when you haven't! No choice. Grin and bear it as they say. X

My you her sister has chronic diabetes since she was 7 now 44.
Not nice. So that's nothing new to me. I've felt dizzy at times, but lately I've not been too bad.
But strangely had a little show for two evenings, which did make me feel scared.
I rang doctors next day, she is sending me for the ultra sound now. It's always something!
I don't know what's worse! Waiting for your period or here we go again with complications!
Life sure isn't easy getting older. But I'm pretty active still just 51 last month.
Enjoy most things in my life still. I will let you know how things turn out.
God bless xx😊🐥
