Sooooo Frustrated!!

I keep feeling like all of this is finally behind me (the anger, the rapidly switching mood states, the exhaustion, the crying, the fatigue, the zinging sensations...), but they keep coming back!

It is just so hard for me to understand how I can feel so well one minute, and even have a string of great weeks, only to descend back into the perimenopausal abyss.

I am now 50 days without a period, and I am 52 years old, so I am holding onto this as a positive, knowing that I am moving in the right direction. But why does this have to be so hard?!

Can anyone else relate? Please share:)

    UGH, it's maddening, isn't it? I can so relate.

    I was having a really good day today, until about an hour ago, when all my muscles decided to tense up and my neck started aching, which usually means a migraine is on the way.

    Never had migraines before perimeno. A few years ago, it was every 3 or 4 days. The stuff of nightmares when working full time, parenting, and not sleeping well.

    I am 50, and they are getting less frequent thankfully, as my bleeds get lighter and go longer between.

    Hang in there!!
