Hi Guys, Just want to vent..I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm moody, I'm tired. I want to sleep but I can't. I'm hungry at times and other times I don't want to eat at all. I have night sweats and during the day I have hot flashes. My complexion is changing and so is my body odor. My cologne does not smell the same on me. I think you get the picture. Sorry to be such a downer but I just felt like writing it down this time. I will be so glad when this menopause stuff is over. Take care guys.
I read the postings on here and wonder what my next symptom will be. This week I started having the night sweats and it was only a week ago that my new psych. meds really started helping me feel like myself. (It only took about 2 1/2 months of feeling like a guinea pig to get the combination/dose right.) A gyno. I used to go to told me that everyone gets a handful of about 40 possible symptoms. I don't have a handful yet so I guess "the best is yet to come?!" Vent on!!!! I'm right there with you!
Thanks bbweckerley!! I appreciate your reply. This is why I am so glad I found this board. Sometimes you can tell your love ones how you are feeling, but if they are not going through it with you, it seems that they just don't understand. While I heard about peri-menopause and menopause I thought when my time came I would be able to handle it just as I do any other thing that life brings my way. But this menopause is one I did not see comming. Anyway I'll deal with it the best that I can and try to not take it out on my family, co-workers and friends. I wish you the best and again I appreciate your replay. Take care
Thought I join the fun: for me (I also have some thyroid issues) every day is DIFFERENT...I never know what it will bring: hot flash, fatigue, dry eyes, sore muscles, sleepy, can't sleep, happy, sad, crying and depressed, hot, cold, short tempered....I think I have at least a handful! Thank goodness for chamomile tea! Pixiek
pixiek, I have all the symptoms you posted and more! debbiej205, my complexion is also changing. I just don't look like I use to, even if I use some make up it seems to fade right off. I wish I knew how to get my skin back the way it was. I've been thinking of changing my cleansing products and makeup, maybe there is something out there for the woman in her 50's that help. cheers
