When I say a certain age, the age can be from 35+ depending on your personal circumstances.
I wanted to start a thread mainly for help, discussion, tips for peri and post menopause.
Did you know that the symptoms can be similar to anxiety and anxiety can be one of the symptoms.
Did you know that menopausal symptoms can last for years? Did you know that there are symptoms that you wouldn't think could be related to hormonal change such as...
A sudden pain (especially under the breast bone)
Unexplained itching
Dropping things
Bumping into things
Forgetting what you were going to say
Sudden headrush
Fatigue
Achy joints (especially wrists and lower back)
Insomnia
Hot flushes
Tearful for no particular reason
Loss of patience
Not wanting to be in crowds
Weight gain
Unexplained smells or a change in smell
Crawling feeling on the legs
Change in taste
A feeling of falling forward
Thinking there's someone in the room when there isn't
Forgetting where you put stuff
Urgency for the loo
Digestive issues
Blurry eyesight / straining eyesight
Tripping over nothing
Not wanting to socialise
Lack of sex drive
Fear for no reason....
The list is endless. Anyone familiar with any of these symptoms? So often we are diagnosed with anxiety when menopause can actually be to blame for some of the symptoms.
