Peri menopause does exist!

Posted , 6 users are following.

I've been reading these posts, and am so glad I'm not alone! I'm 43 and have been experiencing horrible nausea, dizziness, it feels like my equilibrium is off!!

I thought my nausea had went away. Boy was I wrong! It came back tonight with a vengeance. I was over the toilet with the  worst "dry heaves".( sorry for the details) Morning sickness is EXACTLY what it felt/feels like. I had it really bad this year Jan-March; I thought something was terribly wrong with me😩 I got every test known to man when I went to the doctor  (Ultrasounds, Blood work, etc....) everything came back good. My GP didn't discuss anything about peri menopause. I'm going to try some of the tips I read from other postings, thank you for sharing those.

    Lisa,

    Glad you were able to find some comfort and rest your mind aftr reading these post.. I too was suffering with nausea so debilitating I couldn't function. My many many trips to ER gave no answers (jus' given prescriptions to treat nausea). Dr's only seem willing to address/acknowledge MENOPAUSE itself ( the period after youv been w/o a cyle for a year).. Neither my Ob-Gyn or FP has yet to even mention Peri- Meno or associate my Nausea with such. They told me nausea was NOT a symptom dealing w/meno (boy are they clueless and wrong!)

    No more trips to ER, FP, or GYN for me. I have gotten SO much comfort from this forum and these ladies and am learning to manage my symptoms.?

    Wishing you nothing but the best health! 💕

      Thank you for the support! I have a follow-up appointment in two weeks with my primary physician; she's usually pretty open to women's health issues and perhaps can offer some solutions. I've been told, I'm fairly young to be encountering these symptoms, but what I do know is it can be accelerated by stress! Which I have a lot of due to my job. I have also made some ditetary changes, and am taking a high probiotic, hopefully these will help. I'll keep everyone posted.

      Wendy, thank you for the support, I haven't been to the ER, but have been to my doctor more this year more than ever. I have two children, and one pregnancy was great, and the second I encountered horrible morning sickness. I've read some posts where ladies talked about the connection between what I experienced then and what I'm going through now.

    I'm going through it now. It's awful! I pray all the time that my symptoms will go away. Sometimes I wonder how much more I can take. People keep saying it will go away to just give it time. I'm on hrt with bioidentical progesterone. I'm afraid if I go off of it that my other symptoms will come back. M so glad for this site too. At least I know I'm not crazy or alone.
