    Great to keep a sense of humour ,

    lve had ear issues and even today have them ringing out a tune lol.

    Ya unfortunately for some of us it's a long march ...seems one symtom lays back and another pops up. It's a beast if you can't use HRT or some of the alternative herbal type methods to help out. I've been on this ride for 5 years and I'm 52 years young! So many things went out of whack doc insisted I had Lyme :0 of course that never panned out woot! 

    Silly doctor at the time didn't even mention that even one of the weird things I was experiencing was or could be related to menopause, but hey she diagnosed lots of people with Lyme just by talking with them lol in fact she told a friend of mine she had Lyme tooooooo.

    The effects of hormonal changes are so different for each of us.

    For me it's like those few drops of *calmness* hormone wise, once gone completely tipped the scales. Everything gos outta whack *Jack* lol so just have to hang in there till things level out again. 

    Good to have a place like this for support& to ask questions, I have lots heehee.

      Hi Rose, poor you I sympathise - yes this is all horrible, today had been a bad anxiety day and I actually do think I'm losing it ! Driving back from work my throat felt funny so was trying to look in my mouth in the mirror as I was driving, I was doing it at a junction when I noticed the driver next to me looking - he must have though ' what a weirdo with her mouth open ' .....got home and ran up to bathroom to have a look, nothing there! I tell you every day it's something, all the aches and pains and worrying all the damm time. I say to my hubby ' do you think ive got this or that ' and he gets really fed up with me and says ' for gods sake there's nothing wrong with you' ......he is tired of it well so am I. Oh I don't know, how much longer - im 53 and have no bits left so it's very hard, hard for all of us. At least us girls can stick together xx

      Sorry to hear you had such an anxiety filled day 😐 for some of us anxiety takes hold early due to so many physical symtoms. I seem to be on a merry go round and round .. 😝 ready to jump soon too lol ! 

      Now when your body has yet another symtom nerves get pushed into over drive. Mind you some things are very painful and need to be checked by a doc some are minor but it doesn't matter our nervousness system is already frazzled. 

      For me anxiety is a constant but staying active and engaged with others,

      is very helpful. Ya my hubs jokes around a lot especially when I'm standing there with my coat and purse in hand ready to drive {Yet again 😜lol} to the emerg. Usually we end up at the coffe shop and I get my choice of dessert.

      For me..from the start of peri I  had heart palps , joint pain, stinging bug bite sentations anywhere, burning sensations, irractic body temperature, muscle spasms,spaced out feeling,ringing ears,burning tongue, 2years of digestive issues.

      Just this spring developed mottling patterns under the skin like when a baby gets cold 🙈 Hahaha perhaps I'm reversed Ageing !! 

      Cant go out in the sun for too long or be too warm cause my back and arms burn like a thousand hot pins. 

      Really I have more things I could list but you can see how meno totally threw me for a loop D LOOP! 

      Had I known way back 5 years ago that meno was my issue instead of being sent from specialist to specialist I believe my nervous system would have not taken such a kick in the butt lol 😁 

      I mean I still strongly believe that some things should always be ruled out.

      im finally at the point that I'm going to ask the doc this month for some kind of med to assist me as far as the anxiety gos 💪 laughing is indeed the best medicine , I do that a lot ...but the support will help.

      Everything is for a season , I try to always remember the great days and acomplishments  I've made regardless 👍 any thing positive that brings a smile to your face 😏 .

      They used to call it the "change " well that's a hoot! I think just as so much changed coming into this stage of living that we will progressively continue to "change" into a new body balance. 

      That was quite a rant lol 

      lm not familiar with how to use this form, but I'm very grateful to have found people like yourself and others. 😍

    Oh my goodness, what next is right. I haven't had the deafness, but sometimes I completely lose my voice. LOL My ex bf used to call me Pluto or Goofy, one of those cartoon characters from disney. It comes back, first it is real squeaky like, then gone. I've always had sleep probs, now I don't sleep period. Even my cat gets annoyed, he goes and sleeps on the floor in the extra room. (thought they were nocturnal). I have been on so many sleeping pills, to no avail, 2 sleep studies, in hospital they said I have sleep apnea. How can they tell if I don't sleep?We should all get together, you w your deafness, me w no voice and constant sweating, cold/hot repeat. We would make a pair.

      Oh dear poor you that's awful, yes we should get together you would squeak to me and I wouldn't be able to hear you ! You have to laugh really what else can we do. I don't sleep either, the night before last I didn't get one minutes sleep, I watched three hours of Dallas how sad is that, I'm up to the bit where J.R got shot ! Ha ha .....that's how sad I am, all I can do is watch telly when I can't sleep it takes my mind off all my terrible anxieties, always worrying about everything and it drives me mad, also I go rooting through the fridge at 3am eating things I shouldn't then I get stomach pains and rumblings and wonder why, I try to be good but in the early hours I act like a complete weirdo - ive got a bad tum now actually as I ate two custard tarts one after the other like a greedy pig......I was trying to cut back on thinks like bread and processed foods because of grumbles and gripes but it didn't really help so thought sod it - don't know about you but I feel like I'm actually losing the plot. Funny ear, funny stomach, aches, pains, anxiety, nausea, fatigue Uugghh need I go on ! Xx

Xx
