Hi ladies well after 8mths of reading all the posts I've finally plucked up the courage to join in! Takes a lot to get your head around the many changes the body starts to go through at 47 I'm starting to experience irregular periods, in jan of this year I got this awful burning sensation on my legs arms chest which freaked me out dr tested me for menopause which was in normal range then came the aches and pains tingly hands and feet insomnia had tests for thyroid RA B12 Vit D all normal had nerve tests done at hospital all normal dr suggested Anti depressants I decided to try self help invested in a physiotherapist who taught me realisation breathing techniques which I found really helped I also discovered magnesium bedtime spray. Low and behold I thestarted getting a sore throat dr prescribed omeprazole which didn't help, next was possible post nasal drip tried anti histamines and nasal spray no better, my boobs get sore for 2 weeks around ovulation some months then nothing other months. It's totally crazy feel like I'm losing my mind at times

yes I had H Pylori last year, I had it 9 months before they decided to check me for it, I was at the A&E nearly every week in terrible pain with my stomach really bad avid, which I have never suffered from before. I have been re tested a month ago and it has gone. Frankie I was the same as you never went near the doctors was really fit, but now I think I'm making up for it. I have said the same if you know what your dealing with you can cope, it's the not knowing your mind goes into over drive, which then brings on the Anxiety, that's something else that came along with the Peri. I'm not on supplements Frankie because I eat very healthy and do excercise, they said I could try HRT but I want to see if I can get through it myself first xx

Ii think I must of jinxed myself from my message last night as today my boobs are starting to feel sore and I'm guessing (don't know for sure as periods irratic) it's around mid cycle am I right in thinking that's high estrogen???? Drs won't offer me HRT as my last 2 blood tests show normal FSH levels which is so frustrating. Not sure I would take it at this stage like you I'm relatively fit (well I thought I was lol)
