Posted , 6 users are following.
hi.
well my story is past year or so I've been depressed, having defeat ive and bloating problems! Periods I've stArted spotting a couple of days pre my period starting and its a shorter cycle now with one of those days horrific heavy.
My mother tells me she was going through menopause at 40 and I'm 39 now.
i have sporadic night sweats too.
DOES anybody else have compromised digestion due to their menopause?
thank you, from a desperate miserable soul!

I'm also having stomach issues.
Bloating and acid reflux. I'm not sure if it's menopause related. It seems almost anything I eat I get acid reflux. I been taking Protonix and it helps but I still have to get a endoscopy according to my Doctor.
Hope you feel better soon.

I'm hoping it is related to hormones and not something more serious because I have been feeling sick and I get more anxious not knowing what it could be.
I will let you know what the Gastroenterologist says.

I forgot to ask you if you have any problems with Sleep because I been having chronic insomnia.
It's so exhausting not getting hardly any sleep.

're sleep yes and no.. I often wake up DROWING in sweat but it's not every night. Other than that I take homeopathic melatonin drops which helps a lot with sleep.
But I do wake up ALOT but historically I always have suffered intermittent insomnia.
Have you had bloods done or do they want to jump straight into the endo with you?

I been dealing with insomnia for a long time. way before my menopause symptoms started.
I can fall asleep but I can't seem to stay asleep. I fall asleep for about an hour or two then I wake up and can't fall back asleep.
It seems I don't fall into a deep resting sleep because any noise or sound wakes me up.
I'm exhausted all day.
I'm 49 years old.

i thought I replied but my devices change my words for me and mess things up :s
but yes I hear you. I feel the EXACT same way.
Its like my digestion is too slow, food sits on my intestines too long causing bloating and the likes.. Fyi I heard this peri can carry on for a DECADE!!!!!! Ie mum started at 40 and finished at 50!
SORRY AND FEEL FREE TO PUNCH ME for being he bearer of bad news
:s
we can overcome this though!
I just WISH my dr would take me seriously and consider menopause. She refused to test my hormones :s
she due in fact tell me to join patient.co.uk though. Big ups for that at least!

when and if my dr agrees to blood test my hormones il seek herbs over hrt to lessen the risk. These pharma drugs scare me
