I'm having a rough day and trying to get a grip. My moods are swinging wildly these days. I had 4 or 5 of my lowest low days to date, followed by 3 or 4 days of feeling much better. Yesterday was fantastic. I was my old self. Mid-morning today I felt the shift coming, a weird gloomy feeling, a mild warm flash, and I've been foggy headed and unmotivated ever since. I'm not as anxious about it this time. I'm growing accustomed to it. I know I won't be like this forever, so even if I don't find relief through hrt or other efforts, it'll eventually pass. I wonder how long I can expect it to last. If it's 10-15 years, my first little hints may have began in 2010? Yikes, possibly 9 more years of this! How long does it last after the final period? How many years do women go on having periods only every 4 months? I know everyone has a different experience, I'm simply trying to center myself. :)

Hi there.
Unable to tell you how long it will be honey... My view, one day at a time, always looking forward and not back. Do, dump or delegate tasks to make life easier....

You know, I almost always had little cyclical headaches in my 20s, but not really migraines. When I had a Mirena and my hormones disagreed with it, I did develop migraines, sometimes painful and eventually just auras but no real pain. I wonder if these slumps I'm falling into are the same as migraine auras, only different from how I experienced them before. I do get a little pressure in my head, never any pain though. If so, I don't know what to do about it now, removing the Mirena fixed my problems overnight back then. Ah well, this body will find equilibrium one of these days.
