Hi everyone, I lost about 25 pounds during peri due to no appetite. I have recently gained back my appetite for the past several weeks now. I hope to gain back at least 10- 12 pounds. Has anyone here experienced the same thing as me?

    Yep I did . And now I have put on 5 -7!ibb every month from January to August this year. So be very careful what you eat or you'll rnd up over weight and impossible to shift it off again.

      And with regards. Switching to a female doctor. Don't expect any better from one. The are just as bad if not worse . Mine is a b--/h I left her surgery in tears.?dhe was so rude. when I was trying to explain my symptoms of peri , she refused blank to listen or do bloods , she said at 44 I'm to young even though she tells me I have s hormone imbalance . What the hell.

      Hi April,

      I know this message was weeks ago, so hope you're doing better now... let us know how you're getting on.

      Just chiming in to say I am having a weight loss/low appetite/reflux/migraine flare right now. Going on for about 4 weeks now.

      Just now getting to the point where I can eat 3 tiny meals (snacks really) and drink a nutritional smoothie drink most days.

      The anxiety is madness, yes, fight or flight all day and all night. Headaches. Insomnia. Body aches. And once the fight or flight shuts off for a minute, I crash so hard.

      It's dawning on me I need to get a couple of specific things checked out...

      1. sleep apnea. Hubby says my snoring has increased (not sure how, as I don't feel I get any sleep at all!), so I have an appt this week with my dr. to discuss.
      2. Possible menopausal asthma. Worst allergy season ever this year, and wake up with weird sensations in my throat often enough I should get it checked out.

      Hope you're seeing some improvement~ take care.

      Sara
