Just about had enough!

Posted , 13 users are following.

I am so fed up, today has been horrible my head/neck hurts, my ears are ringing, I feel lightheaded, moments of panic its never ending, what I would give for one day of feeling normal! I am really finding the lead up to christmas hard this year, I lost my mum 5 years ago and my dad in June of this year, with perimenopause on top of it all christmas is just a nightmare. Everyone is happy and excited and im anxious thinking how the heck am I going to get through each social event. Please tell me there are other people dreading it as much as me xx

      What is it with these lightheaded dizzy feelings I wish someone could just explain it so we can stop worrying. I could cope with everything else just the head stuff I find hard to deal with x

    I'm not excited. In fact, every year I seem to be in a 'bah humbug' mood.I want to be old and alone and not have any expectations. Everyone is out happy and stuff. I just can't wait till December 26th!! I know it's sad and each year I remind myself to relax and enjoy.. I had hubby put the tree up last night because I wanted no part. It's pretty even with just lights. I think the key to get thru is be good to yourself and go with the flow..

    Please let me know how you get on with your private doctor, the doctors I have seen just won't say any of my issues are down to hormones, so then you start thinking there must be something else wrong, so many women on here have the same symptoms, a lot of us have been to A&E thinking we are having heart problems, why don't the doctors put two and two together, Im sure if we just had some reassurance it would really help x

      Hi caroline been to see the doctor this morning, it was good to talk about it and she listened not like at my doctors, going to up my HRT that I am on and see how I go. If not she said about fitting a coil and have some gel to use, don't really fancy the coil hoping the tablets work

      Take care

      Please keep me update with any progress, I think just having a doctor who will listen is a start, my fingers are crossed for you x
