Perimenopause

Hi everyone I’m new to this page. I’m currently menopausal and I’m 42. I feel like I’m actually going insane as I’m permanently forgetting everything especially conversations with people it’s terribly embarrassing and I’m so low. I forget words and have to replace them with another word.I feel like I’m in a trance most of the time as well. I’m having really bad anxiety and panic attacks. Other symptoms are extremely crawling skin,hair loss,dry mouth and eyes and the tiredness and fatigue are horrific Iv been having naps during the day. Can anybody relate at all especially the forgetfulness/words. There’s Alzheimer’sin my family and I’m panicking it’s that. If anybody can try and reassure me I would be so grateful. Iv just had the mirena coil fitted and I’m on HRT gel.

Thanks

Hi there. I had the coil fitted age 45 I think. I've been on the gel also since then. I'm not 48. It sucks. You do think that you are going mad. Anxiety is bad. Itchy ears. Itchy skin. I too am exhausted all the time. Period cramps but then no period. You're not alone.

L-Theanine works wonderful for this. But of course check with your primary care provider first.
