WELL NOW I KNOW🙄

Hello Ladies,

I hope you are having great days today! So last night my sinuses decided to close completely up on me, which is scary when you can't breath. After a trip to the Dr and a steroid shot, that was taken care of. But my new symptom that I have heard several of you Ladies talk about is cold feet! I mean seriously?! I remember thinking I was so glad I didn't have that..well....that thought should not have entered my mind because for the last couple of weeks I have had cold feet!Now add that to the leg, knee, hip aches and the soreness of my feet and I'm pretty sure it will never end! It is 100 degrees outside and I am wearing winter socks! Again I discuss this with my Dr and according to her? Yeah, it's all normal when our hormones are working to balance out after peri. I myself am a little bit skeptical at this point. So from what I understand, our aches and pains get worse right before our hormones even out. I'm not sure how much of this I believe but I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt! Hope all of you have more good days ahead!🙂

    Hi, Susane. When peri hit me 7 years ago, I was cold all over all of the time. I lived in an electric blanket when I was home from work every night. And since menopause almost 2 years now, it's more of a struggle to stay cool. Weather/temperature doesn't matter. I do believe that things even out after cycles stop. I didn't believe that at first, like you, was skeptical. But for the first time in 2 years, I've not had a hot flash for 2 days now. Wow! Never thought it would end! Hang in there. Maybe there IS light at the end of this tunnel! xx

      P.S. The aches and pains have also subsided quite a bit.
