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.
I am new to the group, I am 48 year old and just had all the blood tests to confirm I am going through the menopause. Having all the symptoms - hot flushes, night sweats, confusion, loss of memory but finding it so difficult to cope with the feelings that I am losing my mind, the mood swings and tearfulness. I really am struggling to deal with it all and cannot even begin to think how I can deal with this long term. Any advice please xx
Hugs through cyberspace, hon...you are sooo not alone in your feelings. All the physical symptoms you list are what I am feeling too...plus more! They make me very anxious. I just woke up (its almost 2 a.m. here) with blurry vision that sent me into a panic. But I remembered that dry eyes (another peri and meno gift!) will do that. I also told myself that I just went to eye doc, n GP. The health anxiety is awful!! I pray to God to forgive me for giving in to it. I also ask Him to help me through this.
Have you tried warm tea? Find a deep breathing app to help you calm down when the crap hits. Watch funny sit Com reruns. Exercise helps me too. We can get through this, many women have beforebus. We will be able to also. Thank God for forums like this where we can actually connect with others.
Feel better hon...n check in often.
I too have been dealing with the perimenopause symptoms. I changed my diet and cut out sugar and the symptoms have subsided tremendously, I pray a lot and ask God to take the symptoms away and He answers prayers. This site has helped a lot, because you know your not alone. I also put flax seeds on my food or in my smoothies and I tell you I've been feeling back to myself. Pray this info helps.
