Weight loss,shaking all over

Yes! i have no appetite, nausea...severe at times, i completely lose my sense of taste very often, i feel cold all the time, i feel like i have a constant gagging/coughing feeling not to mention i seem ti blow my nose constantly since entering perimenopause even during the summer! i always feel like i have a flu...i just want this to end 😦 ive suffered for so long now i feel like im dying of a disease, i look like a skeleton from the weight ive lost everyone thinks im anorexic. On the contrary i love and miss food so much! I just dont feel like eating or im too sick too

Yes your not alone with this i have no appetite all food tastes of concrete ,iv also lost weight so im now really weak, my legs go like jelly and like you my whole body shakes. i don't have a cough but i suffer with my sinuses a lot. Are you peri or menopause, i was in peri for four years and been in menopause since 2015 . As one horrible symptom eases off a new one starts.

Believe me your not going mad or we're all mad because many ladies on this forum will feel the same as us.

Everyday i think i have something sinister and iv done this for the last eight years and im still here so hopefully one day ill be writing on this forum hat im through all this.

take care Samantha, sending you a comforting hug and one for also Brandy x

Hi Samantha,

Yes, I have had the same. Starting in July this year, I noticed my food wasn't tasting the same. My gums would ache, my tongue would feel "fuzzy" and my mouth was so, so dry all the time. That turned into morning nausea and loss of appetite, but evening I would be normal again. That turned into loss of appetite and nausea all day on period days.

I went through about a month of no appetite at all, with nausea every morning. And yes, I would shake often... really bad when anxiety would hit, but other times too.

That, and the anxiety, have been the worst for me.

You are not alone in the least!! Dr's say it's not hormonal, but (a) nothing else shows up on any test or bloodwork, and (b) I don't think it's coincidence that my symptoms began to ease a bit a few days after I started low dose hrt.

Hope you find some relief very, very soon!!

Sara

Dear Samantha

Im four years post menopause and I lost weight and appetite in peri, it was quite worrying at the time, I had gastitis, it was all the reflux etc which happens around this time and the upset in digestion, I have a hiatas hernia which didn't help. I did gain back the weight and went the other way for a while and had extra weight to get off x

I lost 40lbs in the beginning and only got my appetite back thru BHRT. Its still not the same tho.
