So Tired of This!!!

I have just come off of ten days of feeling generally fantastic: lots of energy, basically no physical or mental symptoms, confident and essentially on top of the world. Today, out of nowhere, the symptoms have all come roaring back: numbness, zinging, feeling like I have had a stroke, impatience, irritability, anger, screaming fits. Just when I think perimenopause is starting to become a part of my past, it reasserts itself with no warning. I know that this isn't anything that I've done, as all of the horror just presents itself out of nowhere.

Don't get me wrong...I am so appreciative for the periods of normalcy, but I am also completely exhausted by these symptoms, as I am now in year five of them!!

According to my latest FSH reading, I am in the "post menopausal" range, so that is somewhat reassuring. I turn 53 in October.

Can anyone else relate? Please share; it helps:)

    Hi Bev,

    I could have written your post... this week past has been one of my best weeks since Spring. Fewer aches. Hardly any brain fog. Only one anxious day (and that was with good reason).

    Today I feel the vertigo is back, bloated, achy, anxious and "doomy", weak and shaky.

    Blessed to have had such a stretch of good days... very disheartening when it comes to an end though!

    Hang in there, we will make it!!

    Sara
