    Hey Lindy

    Hormones, thyroid or could be viral!  Suggest you see a GP to get some blood tests.  I am a firm believer of Blood Tests no mucking around because we cannot see inside of our body to see what is forming. Its a horrible feeling when you feel unwell, I wish you all the best and hope your get resutls. Take Care Dianna

    Hi Lindy, yes, this very much a part of the process.My doctor suggested I try st. johns worts. It has a calming affect. Took away my anxiety for good.  I hope you're feeling better soon.

      And will it help with the nausea feeling aswell as this comes on wen the anixiety starts like it as now

      I believe it did, I can't remember because after I started it taking it, everything went away. So I'm going to say yes, but what really helped was juicing vegetables with apples.  Since eveything was making me nauseous I went on a cleanse to juice for a few days.  Drinking pure apple juice would also help with the nausea or celery, cabbage and apple. Juicing has helped me get rid of all nausea and stomach upsets that I couldn't shake off for months. Constant everyday stomach aches and pains with nausea was just no fun. But juicing changed all that. Hope this helps.

      Sure thing, hon, anything to help.  I feel my stomach is growling now, and I had a slight tummy ache that has just gone away. Btw, try green apples with juicing it helps with the flavor.

    Dear lindy my appetite went when my periods went haywire entering the menopause, the unsettled digestive issues that came with it gave me gastitis ( thankfully over it now) but i lost my appetite for weeks at this stage (also had bad nausea) x

    Hi luvvie yeah I have not felt quite so hungry recently but I agree i think its the anxiety! It really got bad before xmas and I was desperate for help so i dragged myself iff to acupuncture.... And it is amazing. I am having regular treatment with an acupuncturist that is so sympathetic and undetstands how I feel. She has been a God send and I feel soo much better. Maybe worth a try?

    I am 50 and perimeno by the way. Still get aches pains and sore boobs (urgggh!!!) and indigestion too but one ghing at s time i guess.

    Thank goodness for all you ladies in this forum too!!! Its just so reassuring not to go through this draining and confusing time alone xxxx I hope you feel better soon love xxxx
