Cannot believe how awful I feel everyday. Each day adds a new ingredient 😔. Horrendous migraines and tension heads, dizzy spells, weird mouth sensations, fatigue, anxiety, nausea (OMG nausea !!!), sore nipples (sorry tmi) and NOW my vision All the ingredients to the perfect Peri. Anyone want to contribute feel free ? 🤷???

Hi It's been hell. I differ with anxiety and panic attacks. Insomnia on occasion. As in last night. Joint pains also. Nausea on occasion just for fun. It really is so tiring sometimes. Try to laugh as best you can and keep busy. I find 2 glasses of wine at end of day are a great help for me. All the best. Your not alone

Yep, totally know what you're going through, unfortunately. UGH. I felt like that every day this summer. I'm pleased to say that I've felt "normal" for the last 5 days-- yes, 5 whole days, whoopeee LOL
I look back and realize this peri-meno has been building since my mid-40's, getting progressively worse, so at almost 54 years old, I feel like I've paid my dues and deserve a break. HA, nature surely has other plans, right?
Hang in there.

Hiya babe... yeah I was there yesterday, and I'm in full swing of the menopause 😌..
As I can't take HRT he just said sit it out lol, my last period was march this year, and he just said if no period by April next year then you will be through the other side, but he did admit that he can't understand how I feel being a man lol...
So that's that I suppose.. I tell you what, because I can't sleep at nite, I decided to try some herbal sleep tablets, and they say not to drink with them, well taking the tablets on its own did not work for me at all, so through sod it, bad enough going through this crap, I fancy a drink and I tried the sleeping tablets again ( only had one glass) but wow I had a good nite sleep lol, when I did wake in the nite I was straight back to sleep, where's b4 I just laid awake every nite.... so whoope I can have a drink still knowing I will get to sleep when I'm ready, no side effects at all next day 😆 Great for ME ...
How's things with you ?? 🤗Xx

Congrats on the good nights sleep! Seriously, I hope that will work often enough for you. I had a whole pantry of different sleep teas and none of them worked. Maybe I should try some tablets, but I don't drink. I'm mostly struggling with gallbladder issues right now. Get that fixed and then maybe move on to my neck Bc my fingers keep falling asleep at night. What's next?
