Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Clumsy and falling

Polarbaby57

Anyone going through menopause ever get clumsy and fall off and on during menopause ? Like trip easy or turn your angle or not even sure how or what caused your fall. I know my thick high heel flip flops don't help. But has anyone else this ever happen too.

Do you get dizzy before you fall? I sometimes get dizzy when bowling (I am bowling on a all women league), I also bruise easily and sometimes I don't even remember what happened and yes I run into things. Gosh this meno pause is not fun at all. Brain fog doesn't help the whole thing either, find myself wondering lately what the heck I am doing, going in one room and forget why or for what I went there, surely get a lot of walking in that way. Crazy crazy time. Hope we will be somewhat "normal" again soon. Peace and Love.

I have gotten much more clumsy and have spent the past couple of years tripping, falling, banging into things, and have broken toes, injured my shoulder, and sometimes I look like a little kid again with all the bruises.
I'm not sure whether it's related to bad insomnia, or just feeling off kilter so often. Wish it would stop, though. I don't bounce back quite as well any more.
