It's very frightening 
It's like I'm wandering around in a fog

I've also been worried about dementia as my nana had it, as I've had such memory blanks. I'll be thinking about something and then immediately forget what I was thinking of or about to do or say 
I tell you. This is bad enough normally like many of you and I have talked about on here but all my brain systems have gone epically bad with recent stress! (My father unexpectedly became very seriously ill and is in hospital in a city over a couple hours travel away so very worrying stressful time at the moment for everyone involved) i can barely function at the moment and have had to put things in place like having everything written down or saying can you please txt me that or leave a voicemail so I don’t lose that information etc or putting things out like clothes and hrt so I see them because I can’t physically remember where to find things or use the hrt unless I see it when I pass it.
i am even having to put reminders in my phone to charge the bloody thing because I absolutely need it ready for the next phone call And if I don’t I suddenly realise it’s at 10%
nightmare!

Being able to set reminders and alarms on my phone and using AI to voice search stuff I really should be able to figure out/remember is a godsend for me. It's got me through the last few months relatively unscathed. Colleagues and clients often say "oh you're so organised! I wish I could be half as on top of things" etc but nope, struggling daily and if I drop my phone down the toilet I'm ducked!
Has anyone tried the Nutrition Geeks menopause bundle? Just started then 3 in 1 magnesium but wondering if I should upgrade to the full bundle to help with hip pain and anxiety
Had a GP appt today to discuss having a coil. Ended up down a rabbit hole of pain of having it fitted so am now on a 3 month mini pill trial instead. The period pain today is immense so hopefully this works!
I’ve gone from fairly regular 28ish days cycles to 42 days this month.
The issue I’ve got is I’ve had PMS for the past 2 1/2 weeks to go with the lateness which isn’t fun. Each morning I’m saying to myself, no one has done anything so don’t be in a mood
And my god the cramps are killing me.

The cycle change is crazy, it never makes sense, and so frustrating when trying to plan things! I'm with you on the cramps! I also just want to eat all the cards, but daft me decided Sunday to start fasting and follow a menopause plan. One day I'll learn not do tk stupid things like that!
Yes!! I’ve got quite a few social events over the next few weeks and I’m praying it won’t drop while I’m away with my husband
My motivation and energy is really be low at the minute as well, it’s like I’m having to literally drag myself around.
OMG same! The last six months I feel like I have lead weights in my legs
Aches and pains out of nowhere too. Jesus ladies, how the hell are we supposed to feel better when I literally want to crawl into bed at the end of the day lately It's not even depression, it's like all of a sudden someone has given me a 20kg sack of potatoes to carry around all day 
So, I got confirmation I could up to 2 pumps and stay at 1 pill (every 2 weeks), and I hope its not a coincidence, but the last 2 nights, when I added a pump, I have slept deeper than I have forever! Hopefully it was just the extra bump that I needed and things will get better from now on. I know only been on it since Sept but seems positive so far!
I am struggling with perimenopause, I won't use HRT for Health reasons, have started weight training and using collagen. What else do people swear by getting through that's natural - I've just quit my job of 20 years as struggling to cope with everyday stresses on top of feeling like I have every symptom going
Magnesium for sleep?
to be honest, I was so relieved that my GP said the benefits outweighed the risks (for me) and HRT was the only thing that helped
Electrolytes, creatine and it’s imperative that you have the correct amount of protein.
After 13 weeks of no period 1 came yesterday albeit it it’s very light but thought that was them away all together, was putting my low mood down to being pissed off with my job but it’s probably been down to my period coming

A small win in peri world. My irregular period history has read;
November 24 - on holiday
March 25 - on holiday
But NOT October 25 whilst on holiday.
I was doing a touring holiday with a lot of flights and coach tours, I was genuinely terrified how I'd manage. It's a small but significant win
And, as it turned out the toilet facilities in China and India are generally awful, I'm so relieved.

I’ve got a biopsy Friday. I’m dreading it. Why isn’t sedation the go to? I didn’t want a general for something like this.
I had one a few weeks ago, it was OK. I didn't know I was going to have it when I went to the appt. It was similar to a smear for me x
Anyone have trouble with the patches staying on ?
I’ve only had the first one on 24 hours and it’s already coming up and even worse after a shower though I tried to keep it out of the water.
I have it on my upper thigh
Is it ok to cover them with an extra plaster ? I don’t think it will stay on till Wednesday

I’ve been reading this thread for a while, but not posted.
I turned 40 earlier this year but my periods changed about 18 months ago. They became shorter but still fairly regular. I can cope with my periods, it’s just everything else. My sleep is all over the place, I can’t string a sentence together on the phone at work. I feel anxious and worthless. I feel the need to isolate myself, but don’t want to be alone at the same time. Then there’s the dry eyes, the headaches, the night sweats and the dizziness. I have eczema so I can’t tell if some of the itching is that or dry skin associated with perimenopause. Although I do currently have heat lumps on my legs. The same thing happened this time last year and I had to check my bed for bed bugs.
I just feel so insecure. I worked so hard in therapy for years processing past trauma and any confidence that I gained has been taken away. I messaged a friend two weeks ago and she asked if I am free to meet up soon. I said yes and to give me some dates, but it has been radio silence since. I keep wondering what I done wrong and that she was clearly just humoring me. Now I don’t want to bother her by reminding her or asking her again.
It’s only the last few months that it has occurred to me that I am probably perimenopausal. I’m very reluctant to see a doctor at the high risk of being fobbed off as being too young. I haven’t had good experiences with GPs as an adult. The last one I saw stared out the window and wasn’t interested in what I was there for or doing the job that she gets paid a lot of money for!
