Hi everyone
Im so elated that i've found this forum,i had never heard of "perimenopause" until i googled my symptoms (which i know is naughty!)
Im almost 43 & have developed a right onslaught of horrible symptoms & i'm going insane ..let me list a few....
night sweats , constant migraines , dizziness , irregular but lighter periods , confusion , sudden weight gain round my middle which is particularly annoying because im a fitness freak & "eat clean", heart palpitations , memory loss ...phew! It has to be perimenopause, im absolutely convinced but can i be tested for this & is there any treatments to alleviate my horrible symptons? Any help would be so so much appreciated, thankyou ladies !

yep sounds like peri 😃
in my early peri ( and now) i take rainforest food Maca 5.1 capsules.. They helped no end with the symptoms .. Amazon uk
also consider a mega B 100 time release ( containing 100mg B6) holland and barret
or Busy B
my doc suggested B6 for peri and now i still take it ten years on.
you will get lots of hell and support on here, lovely ladies

how far in to peri are you
as the FSH blood test is nearly always normal range in early peri as the hormones are too erractic..
its not until periods have declined to approx 3-4 per year in most cases that the FSH levels show menopausal range ..
was it the FSH ( follicle stimulating Hormone ) blood test you had

well you look after yourself hun..
i found keeping a diary of all my periods very good way to monitor it all, see them decrease each year ( in my case ) it took a long while 😀
nice talking to you..

During peri often it affects B12 and B6 so i read.
I think only Severe B12 deficiency can result in the picture of pernicious anaemia.
Plus your other results are all okay so try not to worry.
Check with your doctor at your next visit

Your body will be adjusting to the boost if you were deficient, some can have mild side effects from injections so i have read.
I get intense hunger an hour after.
Some have
Mild Upset tummy
A feeling (or a sense) of being swollen over the entire body
Etc
More so when first administered.

#guff up!
Seriously, give me a male gyni/midwife over a woman any day. found woman's attitude more "Oh just get on with it, we all have to endure this!" - especially during labour!!
