hi every1,my doc thinks im in my menopause and has sent me for blood test,the reason for this is without fail every month a week b4 my period i feel like rubbish sick,tired,no energy ,down in the dumps depressed,which has got to the stage i wont go out till it goes......BUT reading alot on forums they all say the main reason you no your on your menopause is your periods are not regular,yet mine are on the dot every month,could i still be going through meno...............thanks

    Hiya dear.  You are probably leading into it.  It gradually starts.  I remember a few years back I had heart palpitations and itchy skin and then the allergies started.  My eyes were awfully very dry then my periods started to lessen.  Most likely when different things start happening to your body you can blame it on the wonderful days of menopause!  yippy skippy biggrin

    Hi Scottie

    sounds like it could be the start of peri..

    if you have regular periods the FSH blood test will most likely not say you are menopausal... too early...

      when i was in peri meno my tests came back normal..

      but the symptoms were that of peri menopause and the doctor confirmed that by my symptoms..

      my doc then gave me vit B6 and i also took maca capsules early on..

      a good Vit B compex will help with at least 100mg of B6 in it 

      worked wonders for me

      Hi Scottie biggrinJay who you are talking with told me about the B vitamins too and are working excellent for me.  I take a multi vitamin, B6 by Jamiesen and also B12 early in morning.  Vitamin D and calcium in the afternoon.

      Good Luck dear!
