Hi Sparkle
I'm on oestriogel 2 pumps and 10 days of utrogestan. I take Lansaparole as well x

Hi Sparkle

I do pop in each day but have been busy and if left to it I could probably spend all day on here chatting 

No meds for digestion, getting more daring with eating things but still taking it sensibly. I've found with creamy rich things I can only tolerate a little otherwise I feel sick. Still avoiding oily or greasy things otherwise doing well. I find I can't eat big portions (no bad thing!) and if I do accidentally over eat then I get pains and a touch of reflux. Since that doc gave me the PPI course then I've not had hardly any. Must be annoying for you having to take them all the time and it's still not helping but as you say the hernia must be causing a lot of problems and I guess they don't do anything about those?

Unfortunately I still can't drink much Had a glass of wine early evening the other night and I went to bed around midnight and had a disturbed night, palpitations, felt like an adrenaline rush and I haven't had that for ages now, so must be the wine? Flipping nuisance as I like a drop of red but I seem to be okay with spirits and bubbles aren't so bad. Must be something in reds....oh well another glass of Moet or a cocktail please!

Hope you're able to get some relief soon! x

Hi thanks for your post feeling just as you described  how long does all this last I've been having symtoms for the last 5/6 years 😬😬 lots of sympathy girls xxx

Post-nasal drip anyone - sounds as unpleasant as it actually is - yet another thing to put up with....

[Annidav]

Certainly is!

Yes to post-nasal drip and sinus congestion - very annoying for me! Just in the mids of awful congested state now. Def hormonal for me as it comes and goes and is not season-related, neither it is alergy.

Hi and I thought I was going mad but it seems quite a few of you out there are suffering with the same symptoms as me. They all hit very fast after having hot flushes for 5 years or more. Came in a big hit when had a huge anxiety attach, or was advised that is what I had suffered. Since then all has come out. Has anyone one else had this sort of thing, ok one minute then big anxiety attach and all symptoms coming out
😥

Hello ladies.

I think I have told this story before but I thought I'd repeat it here. Muscle aches and pains have never been much of a problem for me thankfully but recently I've noticed that my left shoulder and lower  back can be  stiff and sore in the morning but usually better during the day. The reason I mention this again now is because I've realised that on the mornings my muscles feel fine I invariably have more jitters and anxiety and vice versa.  It's almost as if the hormonal deficit moves around the body and I wonder if that explains the range of symptoms that we experience.

I also know what it's like to feel almost normal one minute only to be the victim of an unpleasant 'surge' the next.  I find this unpredictable nature of the menopause very unsettling and it has gone a long way to destroying my confidence.

I wonder what symptoms we would select if we had to make a choice. I can think of plenty I could do without!

Take care ladies.

Unfortunately I also get stiff muscles in the morning (don't most of us at a certain age?) but never suffer from morning jitters or anxiety - I am always far too sleepy (from too much snoring  ). My left shoulder also wakes me in the night - and I am on systemic HRT and testosterone and only intermittent progesterone.

Once you are well post-menopausal, then any anxiety can't really be due to hormonal surges - they just don't fluctuate enough for that. If you are on a patch then you are giving yourself a pretty regular and constant amount of oestrogen. Not sure what your variation can be due to - but I think many of us experience variation in how we feel from day to day and week to week. However I wonder if some experience anixety because oestrogen dose is overall too low, or the progestogen does not agree with them? Could this be what's happening with you?
