Hi all ,
Nice to see I’m really not alone!
I’m Lisa , 52 , divorced. Currently struggling with this menopause stuff.
I work full time in eye healthcare and normally cope really well . Not at the moment though.
I’m on Evorel Conti as not had a proper period for 18m. About 5 weeks ago I had some spotting out of nowhere so contacted my GP for advice . He has scheduled a scan for this week . In the meantime I’ve started suffering really bad anxiety , esp first thing in morn , loss of appetite and ovary pain . Not horrendous pain but I can “feel” my ovaries if that makes sense? Like a fluttering feeling too. And just awful PMT type feelings of low mood , sore boobs , pressure in my head ,terrible anxiety, clammy in night but can’t warm up during day , extreme fatigue, no zest for life and scared I’m losing my mind ! I’ve also been on citalopram for many years as I have anxiety issues anyway . Also started taking magnesium and vit d as I heard that can help .
Thanks for reading , even booked talking therapy with nhs as my mental health feels bad .
