    Hi Jaynie! Thank you for reaching out and asking. I for one am stressed to the max, lol! I missed a period for the first time last month. I did get it in July and it was horrible. I feel like my symptoms are magnified and I am always on edge. I am exhausted and have insomnia and when I do sleep it is very restless. I just keep praying and knowing at some point this too shall pass! How are YOU??

      sorry took so long to respond for some reason im not getting the responses .i have to go back and now some are popping up..im in the boat with u as far as no sleep. i was having this falling rush electric kinda feeling that kept waking me up at night which would lead to.panic so ive stopped sleeping at night. now i just doze a bit during the day..another lady said her lungs felt like cotton candy. i guess thats a good way to describe weird breathing. the hot rushes are worse. i just dont get how our older yrs are so fun....my days just run into days. idk how u can feel this bad and drs cant find anything. anyway. hang in there and be safe

    Hi 😃

    Not good! - I am 55, stopped having periods October 2019. Had bad perimenopause symptoms, now have stopped its worse. The pandemic and lockdown made me hugely emotional, bit better now. I had to see GP 3 weeks ago for bad piles and urine infection that was so bad i didn't know what to do with myself (think meno related stress). Took medication and is much better. I have noticed that where i would normally of had a period for 2 weeks each month, i feel awful ( emotional), sore boobs, mood swings, health anxiety, you name it, i tick most on the list.

    Im trying to do this naturally through diet, exercise but i am struggling. I don't really want to go down the HRT route if i can. I'm finding it very difficult at the moment. I have a 17 year old daughter at home trying to manage online A level lessons, so hasn't been a barrel of laughs all being stuck in but then its the same for everyone, so i should not complain!

    I have been wondering the same. I was checking my settings thinking WHY DON'T I RECEIVE any more messages. Hope you are OK Jaynie. It has been tough with covid-19 going on. It added to our anxiety and worries. Take care

    Thanks Jaynie

    I know it sucks doesn't it. Try not to worry too much I know its easier said

    than done. Try and tell yourself so many women have same symptoms and all still here.

    Our Anxiety makes things so much worse because our nerves are sensitized and our body reacts. It will pass.

    I haven't been posting much because my posts keep getting removed. I spend all this time writing for someone to not even bother reading them and just hit delete.

    I never post the name of a product or link to a website or recommend a certain remedy/behavior. All I do is post about my own experience with symptoms. It's ridiculous.
