    You've made me feel better already. I thought I was losing my mind. And I feel totally useless as a wife and mother. So thank you for validating what I and countless others are experiencing. Growing up I heard about menopause and hot flashes. No one ever discussed menopause and everything else that comes with it. For all of these years I thought I was dying. I was certain of it. What a waste. Xoxo to you for your support.

      Dear Molly glad it helped, it really does help if other people can validate what we ourselves are experiencing, it really can be a lonely and scary time for us all otherwise xx

    Add depression, foggy brain, disoriented, and clumsiness. I just this morning dropped a glass jar container on the kitchen floor and had shards of glass to pick up. I'm noticing my coordination is way off.

      I have been very clumsy lately and disorientated.  Very glad theweather has just cooled down where I am. The last week was really warm, and before this time of life I would have been getting every bit of sun I possibly could. Now I just cant cope with it at all. I'm just not the same person I was.

      The warm weather is just about to begin where I live in California. Not looking forward to it with all these symptoms. Whereabouts in the world are you?

      Yes I had to cut out fat and caffeine and alcohol when I had the gastitis, thankfully i was able to introduce them gradually over a period of time x

    I forgot to add intolerance to bright lights, aching muscles, pain in hips, health anxiety, migraine auras, tingling in hands, Breathlessness, yes like one lady said the doom and gloom feelings (i think this can come under the anxiety) bloated stomach and weight gain. On and off spotting of periods too! X
