I was hit by a wave of dreadful symptoms back in September 2020. I had terrible anxiety, nausea, jittery/doom feelings, adrenaline surges, faint, hot ant cold flushes, loss of appetite, insomnia, digestive issues etc..

I adjusted and changed my HRT and it seemed to settle again but since then I have had weeks where I am fine only to be floored again by my symptoms. Added to which I had covid in late December/early January and that seemed to trigger my symptoms again.

All in all it's horrendous and I feel so low and alone. This forum does help me feel less fearful but I so yearn to feel like the old me again.

    You will feel like yourself again; likely a better version of yourself, but, for some women, it takes a long time. I spent 3.5 years of my life dealing with the most horrendous symptoms imaginable: numbing depression, crying jags, angry outbursts, anxiety, bloating, digestive issues, zinging and numb sensations throughout my body, loss of cognitive function. The list goes on. If you read my past posts, you will be able to see just how awful it was.

    There was a time when I had to cope with these symptoms for most of the month. I forged ahead, but it was brutal. I am finally coming out of it all, stronger and more resilient than ever. I feel like nothing can ever take me down, after what I went through.

    You are welcome to private message me. I will always respond, as I know how important it is to have a lifeline in all of this.

    Big hugs:)
