Hi everyone not been on for a while trying to conquer my symptoms.  Last time I asked for advice as I was having a bleed after two years of none. I am in perimenopause.  I had a polyp on my womb after hospital investigation.  That was removed.  Then I seemed OK for a while.  Then I started getting my symptoms flaring up very tired, anxious panics and then another bleed.  I am awaiting to see the doc again,  all results if biopsy came back fine.  Has anyone else had this problem even bad palpitations again.  I seem to have a break then everything flared up again.

Feeling confused dizzy etc can anyone relate

Thanks ladies.

Thank you so much for posting this list, Cazikins.  I am sat here trying to eat breakfast but feeling sick and generally dreadful!  It was a great relief and help to read it.  The oddest thing I have noticed so far is the electric shock sensations and like a electrical buzzing in my head!!  Weird.

I am 51, on Elleste Duet 1mg and 40mg Prozac.  Seeing my doc for a review next week.

Thank you ladies xx

The Prozac may well cause the electric zaps - I get it on the AD I take  - strange sensation ain't it!

As for being tired, the body is undergoing huge changes.  In 'Nature' we would sleep when we need to, however in the 'modern' World we have to keep to that alarm clock

Ahhh, thanks. I hadn't thought of that.  Just assumed was HRT but may well be the Prozac.  Feels very odd.  Like the air is ****ling you!

ADs are known for causing 'zaps' ……. I'm used to them now
