Ugh, my body is just exhausted
« on: October 04, 2013, 10:12:11 PM »

Hi, it has been a while since I came to post or read.  I work 2 jobs so am just busy and taking care of my 12 year puberty boy, that's just pure stress.  Anyway, just came on to vent a bit.  I feel just yuck.  Am tired because I don't sleep more than 4 or 5 hours per weeknights.  I make up for it on the weekends and sleep until 10 or 11 am, which works out well because my "going through puberty" boy sleeps late on weekends also. 

Lately my heart palps have been acting up and I even went to the ER one night cause I just freaked out and now I wish I didn't and I could have saved some money there.  I already spent so much earlier this year seeing a cardiologist who checked me out.  He did put me on atorvastatin for high cholesterol and metoprolol for my palps, but now getting palps again. 

I am 48 and wondering if this is really perimenopause happening now.  My periods are irregular, they come every month, albeit late like 50 day cycle,18 day cycle, etc.   I don't sleep.  I get heart palps.  I occasionally get hot flashes, not often, but I do get night sweats more often cause I wake up sweaty and smelly.  Just been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule, which turned out to be noncancerous, it showed "chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis."   I get really really angry and mean, not sure if that is menopause or just stress.  Am sure there are others but I cannot remember because my memory is the worst.  Oh, about 2 months ago I had an endometrial biopsy which turned out okay, but that was because I was having prolonged bleeding for 21 days or so.  AM just not feeling physically or mentally the best right now.  My body feels yuck.   

Anyway, I just thought I would come write a bit. TGIF, at least I can sleep until 11 tomorrow morning.  :).  I hope you girls are having or had a fabulous day/evening.   :)

It's good to get it off your chest - & you know you are not alone.
I hear where you are coming from. Everything comes at once doesn't it? & all at this time of our lives.

I am lucky if I get 4 - 5 hrs sleep a night too, it's been like that for years. I tend to have a nap early evening to make up for it.
Try not to be too hard on yourself & listen to your body.

Have a good lie in tomorrow foxy.

Night Night.

Thanks Caz, I did sleep a lot better last night, only because I could sleep in.  :)  Have a good one
