I'm presuming all the symptoms I get are peri menopause, like so many all my bloods, tests etc come back normal. It is soooooooo frustrating, I've changed my diet , had advice on supplements from a nutrition consultant (been taking for nearly 4 weeks), I'm hoping this will help a little soon but the fatigue is killing me, I walk upstairs and have to sit down to recover!!!!!
Everything is an effort, I can't do anything, it's ridiculous. Has anyone conquered the tiredness? Most days I feel like I'm slightly drunk or have a hangover and I haven't had a drink since Xmas, ha!!!!! any advice to get through this misery would be greatfully received. Thanks x

I am going through all the same s**t. oops did In say that out loud? I am 56 feel 106. It is 3:51 pm and I am shot for the day. Laying in bed on my back is the only thing that doesn't hurt. I want to do so many things but I can't. Nothing is fun any more. People don't get it.

I have tried 4 different types of HRT and have done loads of research I read that the Oestrogel and Utrogestan (because I was peri) these were known as the gold standard HRT. Before this find even with the other HRT's I still seemed to get my health anxiety most months and generally didn't feel that much better. Went to my lovely female GP armed with my find and she kindly prescribed me with this current one and I must say that I am feeling so much like my old self.
This HRT is meant to be the most kindest HRT on the market, better than patches, tablets. It's a gel that you put one pump on one thigh and another pump on the other thigh. The Utrogestan are tablets and I take two of these at night for the last twelve days of my my cycle days 15-26 and then 3 days later you have a small period.
For me the main symptom was health anxiety and some months I could feel myself brewing up about at least two weeks before the period whereas now I haven't had the health anxiety for two months now and I just feel much more level once again.
I have also gone to visit an homeopathic and I have found this really helpful aswell, I don't feel as emotional as I had started to feel before this peri journey had reared its ugly head.. I have always been a worrier but now I am looking at life with a much more confidents and feeling that I like myself a whole lot more.
Good luck with what you end up trying.

I realise I've just whinged by way of introduction, which wasn't my intention. What I really want to say is that it is a relief to find that maybe all this is perfectly natural and that B suppliments might help. I've changed to a healthy diet and forced myself to exercise a bit but regularly for the first time ever (as it's supposed to be the best thing for tiredness, irionically). It's made me feel a bit healther but hasn't resulted in me feeling less tired or fuddled. I am really hopeful about the vitamin B though thanks to the lovely group of women on here. I'm just a bit confused about B6 and B12 - should I take one or both. Apologies if that's already been addressed and I havent picked up on it.
