yes the brain fog and low energy were definitely symptoms for me, and the weight gain on the tummy. I used to be really fit and have a flat toned tummy and now I’m 4 stone overweight and look 5 months pregnantHeyjust want to say thank you for starting this thread, my mum keeps telling me she thinks I’m menopausal Iv been to the doctors several times explaining how I’m feeling.
1, no energy
2, can’t wait to get to bed but can’t get up in the morning either
3, weight gain ( especially round tummy )
4, feel like a teen again with PMT periods heavier
5, brain fog.
All my adult life Iv been very active I run 4-5 times a week I do fitness classes I try my best to eat right but also have a little treat here and there, but the last year or two there have been times I physically can’t motivate myself to do anything Iv spent like almost three weeks at a time where I don’t move from home except to go to work and that’s a struggle, I get quite emotional for absolute no reason, it’s like a wave just comes over me.
But the doctor takes my blood and tells me I’m an anemic which I have been all my life and I know exactly what that feels like, but this is more intense.
Does anyone feel like this to?
Not me... is this a good one to ask for? They did try me on pessaries a couple of months ago but tbh, useless!Does anyone take Femoston 1/20 and oestrogel?
Hope your ok and get it sorted soonHi i had a hysterectomy due to PMDD which put me straight into menopause.
I need HRT as I'm only 42 so still need the estrogen for bone and heart health i also have oestopenia. Because my original problem was hormonol i have struggled so much with getting my HRT correct. It's a minefield honestly. So many different options of how to take it (tablets patches or gel) plus finding the right dose.
Nearly 2 yrs post op and I'm still struggling
I still get “phantom” symptoms, or feels like period pains when I would have been due on.
- Did you find that your PMT symptoms were worse leading up to menopause (extra-angry, pain that lasted longer, etc.?)
- If you opted for HRT, how did you know you needed to go on it, and what sorts of things did it help you with?
- Once your periods stopped, did you find that all the PMT symptoms you used to get completely faded away, or did/do you still get "phantom" symptoms?
