I am at the end of my tether. Peri-Menopause?

You sound like me. Mine started a few years back and your story could be mine. I changed my diet...completely..also my stress and it did help alot. I also do the seed cycling...and that helped a bit. google it and see what you feel. I just read all the posts daily.. and it makes me feel better and not alone. I have had tests also...so many. All are good..Thank Goodness. I try to be as gentle on myself as possible. Our bodies are going thru a major change and we are feeling it. Prim rose oil and cod liver oil..helped my eczema. Not gone completely..but better. Worse depending on cycle. Anxiety..I do Bachs flower Resue. I take a whole food supplement. Try to stay away from bad carbs, no fast foods, and more protein. This helped me also. I hope this helps you!!! Sending a big HUG!!!

Hi Sally.

I so relate to your symptoms...I thought I had something very wrong with me when I started experiencing some of the symptoms you have mentioned. 

I too am tired most of the time, lethargic, can't be bothered with anything and sometimes with anyone! 

 

Hi Sally.  I'm 54 (pretty well post menopausal but my body's not entirely sure yet! ) and I started to have peri symptoms about 46 - my periods became very erratic (sometimes 3 weeks, sometimes as long as 10 weeks between!) and much lighter.  Around that time I started having random dizzy spells which were very annoying (I perfected the art of kneeling down in public to 'find' something in my bag!) and they continued intermittently for several years.  I didn't see my GP although I'm sure I should have (they never happened when I was driving, oddly enough, or I definitely would have made an appointment), but they just stopped of their own accord and virtually never happen now.  I also had the 'spaced out' feeling which is totally weird, it feels as if you're not actually part of what's happening, although you are!  You feel as if you are almost somewhere else, if that makes sense?  It's almost like looking through an invisible fog, very odd indeed.  The only other thing that happened was anxiety, for which I started taking Evening Primrose 1000mg capsules once a day, and they helped massively.  Apologies to anyone else reading this, as I keep banging on about EP, but it really works amazingly well for me and I still take them now. 

All I can say about the other stuff is that it will pass, and you should be very reassured about the test results.  Good luck, and give EP capsules a bash! x
