    yeah I never thought that the folic acid is b12 as well - I didnt get a letter the doctor rang me and said she had put prescription through for the folic acid and to get some vitamin d tablets so I just got some from holland barrett but come to think of it she didnt say what strength vit d to take - told you my docs useless. Havent thought about hrt - new to all this and not sure what to do for the best - keep looking on here for guidance. I woke up at 3am and then 5am - been feeling rough and different symptoms every day so not sure if the folic acid and vit d working or not been on them 2 weeks so far. Good news about your smear got mine due in Sept 😦 another worry - no fun being a woman is it lol

      hi ya

      yes i never knew folic acid was B12 either untill i looked it up

      dr gave me prescription for vit D

      3 tablets and one every two weeks for 6 weeks

      i really think that since taking folic acid its made me loss appetite and stomach ache

      but then that could be my anxiety

      and its pretty high atm

      my sleep is similar to yrs its awful waking silly hrs and then i get the heart racing and then comes the thoughts

      feel so fed up with this

      my boobs hurt

      i feel hot and cold

      dizzy spells

      awful

      how r u ?xxx

      No I have days where I feel like not in control anymore and would just love one day without any wierd symptoms - want to get back to the normal me but then with this coronavirus lately my anxiety has been up with that as well- been ocd on cleaning and don't want to leave the house - other people are going out to park or walk at beach etc but I am so nervous and with these symptoms of menopause scared to go anywhere. It's horrible. Your vision has it gone blurry like mine - I used to have 20/20 vision then when this all started a few months ago I have blurry vision in both eyes - close up in left eye and far away in right - got my eyes tested and they said it was normal to lose vision and now I have reading glasses but sure it is hormones that has done this to me. Fed up honestly 😦

    • Posted

      yes i get weird vision too

      and blurred vision

      and get bad stomach issues

      i get scared of going out as i always get dizzy well not dizzy as such but just like a drunk feeling if that makes sence

      think we have anxiety as our hormones are up and down

      i am seriously thinking bout going on a anti depressant

      which one was u on before ?

      sick to death too waking up at 5 am with panic xxx

    • Posted

      hi. hope your well today. actually went out for the first time in ages today. Only to shops but sometimes feel so rough dont want to go out 😃

      Cannot remember the antidepressant i was on serious brain fog. It was about 20 years ago but did say i would never go on them again. had such a hard time coming off them. I just try to deal with my anxiety best way i can. I have a son and dont want him to see me struggling so try and shake it off which is easier said than done and people prob worse than me. i wake during night so watch tv to try and distract mind with timer on so if i fall asleep it switches off otherwise my mind goes in overdrive. If i have a panic attack i try to distract my brain with shopping list or what i have to do for the week. i sound crazy dont i x

    • Posted

      no ur not crazy hun ur brave and a grt mum

      when i lok after grandson i find it stressfull as when u get awful anxiety its so hard to switch off

      yeah i sleep with tv on too as need something in background as i live alone

      its the early waking i hate and then comes the palps

      i take diazapam most days i am probably addicted now but dont care as it helps me

      wish i knew if this is a relapse of my anxiety or its hormones

      o i had blurry vision today too and weird rib pain then that starts me off

      awful xxx

      ps

    • Posted

      its great chatting to you too. Feel so alone and confused with all these symptoms so good to chat with someone who is going through similar. Touch wood not being feeling sick with folic acid so i would prob get that checked out. dr might have given you wrong dosage. i am on 5mg one per day and take mine on morning before breakfast. Fingers crossed we get a decent nights sleep tonight. prob not i will be up at 2am or 4am as usual x

      Hiya

      I dont go out as much as I used to - think its just incase I feel lousy when out - last year when I was driving used to get panic attack and light headed so won't drive long journeys now either. This year with the blurry vision and rough feeling not been far plus this virus too panicky to go out. Hope it gets better.

      I was up nearly every hour last night for some reason and had twitchy legs again - oh the joys!! lol

      one day i am ok then nxt i am s nervous wreck

      and same as u when i go out i get lightheaded

      omg i been so bad today awful fast heart and missed beats

      soooo scared

      called gp

      they prescribed me mirtazpine for sleep and anxiety

      but so scared to take it

      keep thinking sumthing wrong with my heart

      worst day ever xxx

    • Edited

      oh no bless u. Hope you ok tonight. Its awful i think lack of sleep and worry sets off palps etc. I got my blood pressure checked last year and now on tablets as it was high and i felt heart missing beats they did ecg which was fine and doc said stress. reading more into this menopause other people have had high blood pressure all of a sudden and palps etc. its wierd what it does to your body. dont worry i am sure if they were really concerned they would do further tests. i know easier said than done i am a total worrier xx
