Hi Friends,
My symptoms come and go ---good days and bad days--- I have 99% of all the peri-m symptoms and now I am experiencing MAJOR BLOATING :eek:
I just wonder if anyone else is having the same problems with feeling bloated (stomach 3 times it's normal size!) major fluid retention.
I was up all night going to the bathroom (number 1) almost every hour! I havent taken anything to make me go, but when I weighed this morning, I weight 5 pounds less than I did yesterday!
This has been going on for a few weeks now, weight up and down, fluid retention, feeling bloated, etc.
Any comments are welcomed! Thank you!!!!

Yes this too happened to me when all this perimenapause hit me :rolleyes:
I always had a flat belly even have having a child and gaining 60 pounds (that was 16 1/2 years ago :) )
I quit caffine, sugar, stopped drinking beer and drank alot of Chamomil Herb Tea (found right at your grocery store) I didn't do it on purpose.....
I was going through alot of panic attacks and anxiety so I cut out: all this stuff and not only did my panic attacks subside - I lost 15 pounds in two months, but again I was also going through a very stressful time in my life some I'm sure some of the weight was stress related....
BUT.... :bouncing: my Bloating disappeared when I quit the caffine, sugar, and beer - LOL - the only reason I know this for myself is, when I started feeling better - I had a cup (1) of coffee and wow....I could feel my anxiety rise up :eek: :eek: and I was a 20 year 10 cup a day Caffine Addict :o
Sure enough I said Good Bye to Caffine - I drink "some" decaf but I'm staying away from it....Then, I had a few beers while out one night and sure enough the next day - My stomach was bloated..... :cool:
(so, I switched my beers brand... :) )

Thank you so much for your reply.
I went to the Doc today...she said my BP was "a little high" and recommended quiting the caffine and sugar. I too, have anxiety/panic attacks and I know that stopping the diet coke and sugar will help alot. I have drank only water today!!!! and no sugar... I do have a bit of a headache, but feel that will go away soon (lack of caffine as well as the high BP)
I will have to try the Chamomil Herb Tea! :)
I'm so glad to know it isnt just ME :o blowing up like a beach ball on some days! Today, I felt pretty normal but who knows what tomorrow will bring, I may be 6 pounds heavier and unable to zip my pants! :eek:
