Hi All,
I’m new to this forum. My GP recommended the site to me.
I’m 51, have been perimenopausal for about 5 years now, haven’t had a period for around 12 months-ish.
I woke up today, after yet another hormonal migraine and I feel wretched. I have silent reflux (taking omeprazole- fairly effective), using Vagifem for VA. I’m down, tearful, fed up, tired, scared, anxious- you name it. The joy seems to have gone out of my world. My sons are in the process of buying their first homes, for the first time in nearly 30 years my husband and I will be alone and I should be excited and I want to be, I really want to be, it’s an exciting time in our lives. I feel no sadness over my boys moving out, I’m happy for them. My husband is fantastic, bless him, he doesn’t really understand but tries to everything he can to help.
Because of Covid, GP contact is pretty much by phone, and although she did see me about the VA, a phone call is no substitute. I feel alone and helpless.
I’ve been reading up on Evorel Conti patches and wondered what others experiences of them are? I need to do something, I’m still youngish and can’t keep on like this.
Does anyone out there know or understand how I feel?
Is this normal?
I just wanted to say that I really feel your pain and can totally emphasise with what you are going through.
It's been a recent revelation that all my weird and wonderful symptoms
can all be linked to the delights of going through "The Change" (what a helpful and supportive term that is...)
Currently I can't decide whether the constant nausea and diarrhoea is more debilitating or the awful mood swings, irritability and low mood
This morning my much loved dog was due to have a much needed hair cut. An appointment that has been booked for 6 weeks. But thanks to my stupid menopause fog brain I got the time wrong. I was only 10 mins late but she refused to accept my dog and I just fell apart. Once I got home I sobbed and sobbed, I feel so incompetent these days.
Am finding much solace on here tho so a huge thank you to all that post, you're doing more to help than my GP!
SarahJayne I really hope you're doing ok xx
