hi all,

Just wondering how many of you lovely ladies are like me? I used to wake up with so much positive energy for the day just a couple years ago. Start off the day with yoga before heading to work and looking forward to relaxing in the evening and fun things to do on the weekend.

Now I wake up and it takes a moment for it all to sink in. Then I am like the tin man ..carefully relax and get out of bed to check what hurts today. From shoulders, arms, wrist, fingers ..knees. Usually its something every day and then head to the mirror to check for dry face. Its so hard to deal with the anxiety crashing down every morning. I expect to wake up one day and see an old woman looking back at me very soon 

    hi patti,

    i feel just the same as you and have nearly given my job up on so many occasions mainly because of the balance issues. i really dont know how i get through the day sometimes and this has been since 2011 when i started peri. im now post meno by 4yrs but still suffering with headaches, eye pressure, anxiety, nausea and balance.

    i look at other women my age going about their daily business and it makes me so sad iv lost my normal life and now feel trapped in a small bubble.

      oh no ..It is distressing that these symptoms can continue post meno. I thought things evened out after menopause.

      hope your not going to be like me.

      Why is it that no one i know or any relation of mine has been through what are experiencing and i really think im just a hyprochondriac.
