Will meno finally bring relief?

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi All, haven't posted in a while, been busy with post hurricane Irma stuff, so much fun, and getting settled back home after being away for the summer. For you newbies, I've had an extremely bad year starting last August. I'll be 53 in January. Any and every symptom on that 66 symptoms of perimenopause list and about 10 more on top of that. It's been hellacious. For the past couple of weeks my symptoms are getting lesser. Now not sure if they will cycle around again, but here is what I'm doing differently. I started taking Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6. The specialist in NYC said that I have a genetic factor with MTHFR where I can't absorb Vitamin B. But also, my period was due last Tuesday. And it's now Monday, almost a week later, and it's still not here???? When I was due I got bloated for a few days, but then nothing. Had a headache yesterday, but still nothing. Every now and then I get the burning legs and achy body and sick feelings, but much lesser degree. This will be the first period I've ever missed in my life (except in pregnancy of course). So am I finally entering meno realm and leaving awful perimeno behind me? I've even had three almost completely normal days this month!!! This hasn't happened in a whole year! Any of you on this forum gotten better after meno finally sets in?????
