Hi Suzy .. you done well to still do the things you did today
The restless legs are awful , I only used to get them when I was due on , but since coming off patch I get them a lot .. and nothing can do with them
I do get  shakes in my legs a lot and usually feel off balance mad it is .. all these things from hormones
I get very agitated aswell , like I lost all my patience so if I’m in Shop I wanna be in and out straight away .. I don’t wanna hand around in a que ( I would spend hours out before ) not now in & out

The nausea for me as gone , ( I hope it never returns ) I used to get it certain times every day without fail but I never actually vomited , this is one thing I hope stays away

I do hope you get to chill and relax for the day
I’ve cleaned up and put stew on this morning and made myself a cheese & potato pie ( Me and hubby eat different things as I hate veg ) I’ve had a shower and wrote out my Christmas card list ready for the day I go to get them
and now I’m
Going for a 10 min walk just for bit of fresh air
Might go a drive with husband later after he as cleaned his van … always cleaning it lol
Today is dry so must make the most of it as rain is forecast most the week

Have a good day ladies xx x

[Suzysheep]

It’s crazy how we can have all these vile symptoms from hormones! It feels like a living hell!
I’ve just managed another walk with the dog, before the rain sets in.

You are coping really well Michelle. I can’t get my head around cooking at the moment… my husband is doing it all.

I hope you have a nice afternoon.
I’m cutting my son’s hair in a bit. ( when I say cutting… I’m butchering it with the clippers) 

[Michelle7474]

That’s good you got out for another walk .. I went out with husband and got him to take me to the card factory
Whilst I was in there I could feel panic and so nearly walked out I handed all cards to husband , I’m like I need to get air and I’m hot … he said you won’t feel no different out side to in here ( which he was right ) so I qued spoke to lady and paid and walked out still panicky but I did it .. and then went greggs because I could and Lidl mad that something tht was so normal a few months ago is like a big thing today .. it was most deffo panic

I’m home now and food is on
I always cook , I couldn’t at the beginning as everything was so much worse than now , but just lately I cook as I can always sit down why I’m doing it .. we still have a fair few takeaways but now the cold weather is coming I will use the slow cooker a Lot for husband ( easy )

Suzy i lol at your sons hair .. I was thinking oh is she a hairdresser then read the last bit haaaaaaa

Hope you have a good afternoon Suzy xx

[Suzysheep]

It’s weird how simple small things can become so hard to do. I totally get why you wanted to run out…. You just want to get in, get it done, get out. You did amazing to hang on in there… good on your husband to talk you around!
In Lidl today I just rushed around… no browsing… bish, bash, bosh…out!

My sons hair was a disaster…. He looked like a reverse monk!! Lol… I had to go grade 1 all over in the end! I think he will be wearing his beanie all week!! Lol

It’s so strange how bad I feel all morning… but come 3 pm it just switches off! I wish I could feel like this all day!! Xx

[gm_thomson]

Suzy, I feel exact same as you but in reverse! I feel bad after 4pm but good all day. So I am trying to remember that this will pass and I will be better tomorrow. And distract myself as much as possible in the evening, and maybe go to bed early!

Have you tried like an aerobic workout in the morning to burn the anxiety out now that the sea swimming is done? Maybe meditation then too? 

Michelle do you know what triggered the panic or was it just out the blue like mine?

[Suzysheep]

Gwen, I have started taking the dog out early and having a brisk walk around the field near my house. It helps with my restless legs.

It’s odd how our anxiety affects us in reverse. I think I would rather feel good all day to be honest… you can just go to bed to get away from it at night!

I woke at 3 dripping with sweat and anxious… luckily managed to go back to sleep until 6.

Xxxx

[Michelle7474]

Morning ladies
Hope your well

Gwen mine is every time I have to go and do something , it comes on from no where & I don’t and won’t ever understand it. And it’s only since this year that it as happened .. I blame hormones and jabs although I personally think it’s more hormones
I’ve never been like that in my whole 47 years so it’s very odd but hopefully it starts getting better as time goes by
It’s like I’m agitated too .. who knows why it happens


Suzy hope your morning is ok , good you got the dog out earlier and hopefully it helps your legs .. I been saying tht I gonna walk each day no matter how short or far just so my legs are less restless

I have hospital today , so my body is in panic mode again bizzzzzare as I do this every week & I know I’ll be fine

That’s when I’ll know I’m getting back to myself as these things won’t ever be a issue .. let’s hope these coming weeks are the weeks I’m waiting for ..

Hope everyone as good days today .. Xx

[Suzysheep]

Michelle,

I hope your appointment goes ok.  Yes… it’s crazy how something you routinely have done for years can have such an affect.   Madness.
Do you get restless legs every day? Do you think it’s the anxiety or have you had it before?

I have gone out again with the dog. Nice long walk. I get panicky when I’m out, but I just try and breathe through it. I also feel quite weak… but then my body has been going through all this trauma for ages now…
I looked on my calendar… I took my patch off on the 8 August.

[Michelle7474]

Hi Suzy

That’s how I get when I go out , it’s madness
I also feel weak as if I’ve not got the energy I used to have , but I put that down to not doing much .. where as before I was always doing things and hardly sat down

I don’t get restless legs everyday but when I get them they are very achy & nothing helps .. I had one week where it was each day from waking to sleeping and I was like what the hell is happening, I put down to another symptom of coming of patch to be honest
Now I get them every now and again .. Today they are ok for now .. strange old body lol
I did get restless legs occasionally before when I was due a period , you know a couple days before where your restless that’s only time I’ve ever had them.
I also had nausea for a whole week at certain times of the day .. that’s passed for now ( thankfully )
I took mine off Tuesday 27th July .. I didn’t write it down but I can remember ripping it off and thinking now it’s time for me back ….. still waiting 😂😂
10 weeks for me tomorrow and lots have improved since the first month that was so baddddddd but I had suffered why I was on patch aswell so was like I had 4 months of it … so days like today ain’t as bad as them days although still there
You are 2 weeks behind me Suzy …
I’m glad you got back out .. you still reading the book ?

Today I’ve done my usual cleaning and been to the shops twice and now I’ll go hospital so I’m getting out a bit more than the last months when it was bad. Although not far it’s out
I can’t wait for the day I go and do my normal stuff that I used to before all this
I’m gonna try and push my self a bit further where I’m comfortable doing it.
Although with this weather won’t be a lot

[Suzysheep]

I think the weakness must be from the shock our bodies have been through. It has affected us so badly mentally, it must take it out on us physically. The extra adrenaline from the anxiety is exhausting on its own.

How did your hospital appointment go Michelle?

You have come along quite a bit in the last couple of weeks if you look back through these posts… hopefully I will make some progress over the next couple of weeks too. Xx

[Michelle7474]

Hi Suzy
Hospital went ok , I’ve not gotta go back until 14th now so that’s good and they did me a morning one , so ain’t gotta panic all day about it
I was explaining to him about the aniexty and he told me take vitamin C and also oranges are a good thing to eat
Why I have no idea .. but worth a shot .. I actually love oranges but stopped eating them due to my acid reflux that I was suffering
I’m sure I actually read about oranges before and dismissed it .. this time I’ll try vitamin C

I’m home now and cooking

Oh deffo Suzy my body as never felt this weak before but at somepoint we will be strong again , I can feel it

Let’s hope this week is a good week
Xxx

[Suzysheep]

I think I’ll get some vitamin c in. I already take magnesium because it’s meant to be good for anxiety.

Yes, we will get better… xxx

[gm_thomson]

Vitamin C! I need to try that. I had to adjust my diet as i have a family history of osteoporosis and supposedly now is the time your bones start to leach calcium. I need to take 1200mg a day, from food.. and its so hard! I never took so much dairy in my life. Now I need to add an orange a day too, that’s fun, the weight will go back on again lol.

Again i had a good day but I worked out and as i was cooling down and stretching i got really lightheaded and it hasn’t passed. My heart rate is ok (Apple Watch again sorry) and I am not dehydrated so assume its fun menopausal symptoms again.. something new every day.

Also dr google said even if your hormones show menopause like my doctor said they do, they can change daily which is why i have to wait the 12months post last period… and if they are bouncing up and down, would explain the anxiety etc..

Michelle morning appointment sounds a good idea, get it over with.. as long as you dont stay awake worrying.

I used to get restless legs, it was my magnesium supplement, was also causing Charlie horses which were the worst so don’t take them any more.

[Michelle7474]

Hello ladies

I took vitamin C today
How are you all ??
I woke up all jittery and on edge & tight feeling chest but think I may be due sometime in next week so could be why as I think this happened last month also..
I’ve been reading up on POP pill that was suggested & im  contemplating if would be of any use to me .. but I see the word aniexty and puts me off , because I couldn’t handle all this again no Chance

How are you this morning Suzy ?? Hope you have had a better morning

Gwen I only take vitamin D and now Vitamin C as in took one today
There is a lot I can’t have vitamin wise as can interfere with medication I’m on , so I’m always limited so to speak
I’m glad you had a better day and hope your dizziness passed
That was one of the first things I had but I had it after the jab so always blamed that for a while
Hormones are always bouncing up and down and that’s the cause of all of our symptoms.. I wish I was one that never suffered
My mom didn’t know she was even going through change .. she said she had missed several periods and thought she was pregnant lol and that was it ..
lucky so n so .. she was also 53 she said
Maybe if I had not taken the HRT I wonder if I would have been so bad ?? I will never know

Anyways ladies hope your ok .. I’ve got a curry cooking in slow cooker .. I’ve done my usual crap of the day lol & I’ll go shop maybe later .. I will see how I feel

10 weeks HRT free today … Getting Closer & Closer to that 3-6 months … too think this time 10 weeks ago I thought I was gonna be back to my normal self over night 😂😂


 

[Suzysheep]

Hi all,

Well I took an antihistamine last night to help with the sleep and sickness… I slept solid until 7! Got up, saw my son off to school, walked the dog, then had to go back to bed.. it had really knocked me out!
But… my anxiety is way down, I haven’t felt sick or had restless legs and jitteryness.
I’m just waiting to see what the afternoon brings xx
