Do you still have a cycle?  If so this could be part of the lead up to a period?  How is your diet?

Hello PaulineW.

I know exactly how you feel. On my good days I feel pretty normal but I never know when they will occur, I hate the unpredictability of it all. The last few weeks I have been waking up about 5am with an adrenalin surge and then feeling on edge all day. I am assuming this is another phase but goodness knows how long it will last.

This menopause business is truly horrible and if it wasn't for this site I would find it a very lonely time.

I hope you feel better soon, take care and keep posting.

K.

Knowing it's hormones doesn't help much with the physicality though …….. don't do too much on those days when you feel 'better' or you will use up the energy  ;)
