    Hey dear  I too have appetite problems cuz I bloat up like a blow fish cheesygrin  I just thought of trying the V8 vegetable drink comes with salt or no salt.  There are also those all fruit drinks now in the veggie section at the grocery store.  They have everything nowadays eh?  I just thought of them.  xo 💚💜

    Hi again. I take B6 and B12 cause I felt awful.  This site was a lifesaver for me.  I just cut down on coffee just today, I was drinking too much as an energy boost, you can't drink coffee with perimenopause with all these symptoms going haywire.  I was feeling soooo fatigued in the evenings.  So I bought decaf    

    and make a cup of each and mix them together in a thermos and will wean myself off slowly.  I love my good taste caffeine coffee!!  I feel better already so maybe they were right. waaaaa. xo

      Hi lol dear.  I'm gonna get some too, I just thought of it.  hehe. I think the better you do for your body eases these symptoms. I am 48. I am getting quite sick of putting up with this crap.  It'll be a year next month being on this roller coaster.   I am willing to stop coffee.  The fatigue was getting real bad.  I think it plays on your moods and everything else going on.  It elevates life issues.  I feel better already and it's only the first day.  I am going the natural way like a lot of others.  I have read some posts on here about ladies starting Busy B and was harsh for them.  Maybe too many B's in the system.  xxoo

      Ohhh brain fog is lovely symptom too.  I forgot to say I take a chewable calcium called Caltrate which comes with vitamin D for my poor bones. hehe  Its chocolate flavour too woowee and it says to take it away from other meds so I take it in the evening.  Take your B's in early morning and makes the start of the day better.  Hope you find what works dear. xo. I think I am done yapping....
