Perimenopause and loss of apetite

Hi, how long did you have the nausea for from start to finish, i have been having it since sept 20 off and on currently have it and really struggling, have lost weight, i weighed just under 9 stones normally so really can't afford this loss, my clothes is hanging off me.

same here!

Glad to find this discussion. I'm turning 50, dealing with peri for about 7 years now. I go through times of not wanting to eat much, then others like now when I'm hungry all the time. Have had all kinds of lab work, blood and urine tests of all kinds, A1C, hormones, they always come back normal. Trying to eat more protein and cut back on carbs. The hunger right now is accompanied by adrenaline surges and air hunger, so of course I panic, too. Went through this back at the beginning of peri and hoped not to see it again. Peri is awful.

Please read this book as it really helped me and many friends understand what we are going though.

Im so happy i found this site, i think ive been in peri for the past year, periods all over the place, at one point last year i had a period that lasted 5 weeks non stop heavy, went for ultrasound which found a small cyst on left ovary, but during the year my periods have been pretty irregular and relatively light, & the cyst has gone .

several weeks ago i retired , & since that day ive been feeling nauseous with no appetite, and i think im suffering from anxiety, i wake up early in the morning and start to worry and stress myself out, i get cramps, dry mouth & feel queasy all morning, its only in the afternnon i maybe feel like eating, i know im losing weight due to not eating properly, im not my usual self, if this is all hormone related then how long will this last! my doc seems to think it could be gastro related and prescribed me with gastro tablets, but they dont seem to help, from reading everyone elses posts i can relate to all of them which gives me some relief that its nothing to serious, i just wish the nausea feeling would go, does anyone have any good remedies!

I just read this post and finally I read that someone else feels this way too. I'm not going crazy. I feel like it. I don't feel like myself. I'm 50 and haven't had a period for 7 months. I'm a mess emotionally. Thank you for posting this.

hiya im having the same symptoms im just wondering if yours passed and did it get any better

i know this is an old thread, but i am 43 years old and i have everyone of these symptoms. I was beginning to think i had something really bad. i am glad to know i am not alone!

I have pulmanary hypertension.. this is not the reason im writing on here.. in october i went to ER because my appendix out. since i have been out of hospital i have not had a appitite at all! just in the last 2 weeks i am neausous in morning and throw up sometimes. i also have hot and cold sweats! I wake up in morning soaked with sweat! I have been constipated for a long time. i take something to help me go! What is wrong with me? when i went to ER they did blood test and those were fine!

Hello Kadija,

Aware this old thread but hope your still around for advise. I have no appetite, nausea, dry mouth, incredibly fatigued - tired, headaches, occasional hot flashes, night sweats, etc.. Fighting to keep weight on via force feeding myself. Also forcing beverages down to keep from getting dehydrated. VERY scary.

How are you doing present day? Have your symptoms gotten any better?

I've had my blood, urine, fecal checked --- all have come out normal. I'll be undergoing upper and lower endoscopies soon in hopes of finding out why appetite gone and nauseous.

Came upon this thread while googling my symptoms. (Peri)menopause seems to fit. In early 50's (appears to be late menopause as still in Peri) no period since mid-December. have had periods off/on during course of last 3 years --- during which hospitalized twice for extreme nausea, dry heaving and dehydration. Several other times no hospitilization very nauseous with dry heaves. Couldn't figure out why as both days had started off normal. Drs chalked up to migraine and or stomach bug. Nausea a constant now. After reading through everybody's stories, hormone fluctuation seems to fit.

I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you if/when convenient for an update.

I'd also love to hear from anybody else going through the same.

Thank you,

Laura

i am dealing with all of the same symptoms. I absolutely hate feeling this way. The anxiety, the dry mouth, the mood swings. I plan on seeing my doctor to see if they can suggest something to help balance me out.
