    Hi yes awful in the middle of night and all night long! I keep 2 bottles of water on my night stand , and need both of them all through the night, and then I'm up peeing every hour on the hour just about, but if I don't drink the water my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth lol... Oh how bad we all have it yuck.. Sick of all this 😒

      To avoid going to toilet too much not to disturb my sleep I have a jar with a straw. I only have small sips and swirl around my moth first and swallow it. Try small sips if it helps. Perhaps you feel much dryer than I am. If I had 2 bottles of water I would spend the night in the toilet. :0

      Hi gypsy, 

      Do you think it's related to perimenapause I also developed a rash under neath my eye braw 

      Could it be the fluctuating hormones

      Lol! I know I should try small sips and you know what I'm going to tonight, it just goes down so well when I'm so thirsty and dry, its a vicious cycle..but don't like the bathroom business every hour..

      Yes I've read that it is, and I've never been dry in the mouth before all this began.. And my eyes are just as dry as the mouth its awful.. I don't have the dry eye lids but my sister did for 2 years , they were itchy dry flaky and red, she use to rub the anti itchy cream on it and that helped.. Eventually it stopped, and her eye lids are normal again.

    Oh yes jacqueline, I have it every day. I have artificial saliva spray, pastilles, and special mouthwash for dry mouth. Its horrid and no matter how much you drink nothing seems to relieve it! You are never alone on here thank the lord, there is always someone here who has the same symptoms as you or have had them so never feel its just you! XXX

      I'm not in peri my ovaries have died so I'm in full. Not all peri symptoms go away when you hit full meno and chronic fatigue is part of it so dont worry its nothing new. XXX

      Did you have bags under eyes, it seems ever since I started perimenapause I have bags under eyes and aches and pains that come and go

      Oh yes hun, do I have bags or do I have bags. I could go on the walking dead as a zombie and not need make up! And I agree with one of the other ladies, I know I have adrenal problems and am sure that the dry mouth and dark eyebags are related. Looks like I need some acupuncture too! XXX

      Hi tina,

      Yes hun, they most certainly are! I've had all my primary 5 senses altered since this began. Been on hrt and various vitamins and diazepam since it began 3 months ago but I believe I 've been in peri for maybe 7 or 8 years without realising it. Ovaries finally died last December after a very sad and stressful period for me, so this damn thing can throw us a curve ball at anytime! XXX

      It has helped alot, but it is not an overnight miricle. You have to persevere with it and be patient, and back it up with vitamin supplements too. I still get alot of symptoms and am seeing an endocrinologist for something else but getting him to check out all my hormones and whether or not I'm on correct type of hrt. Keep your chin up and let me know how you get on with your hrt. XXX

      Hi tina,

      Yes hun its all part and parcel of this lovely process! Lack of even one hormone never mind 2 or 3 can make you feel like s**t both in body and in mind. Just dont let it get to you unless you feel really unwell then go and see your dr who I'm certain will reassure you that you are perfectly ok just menopausing! XXX
