More Menopause...

[thekarens]

Though I'm younger I'm also in the perio phase. Let's see, it started out literally thinking I was going crazy because my anxiety was off the charts. I had to get some drugs to calm that down. I'm now off the drugs and am doing okay, but it got me over the rough patch and I have some "as needed" for panic attacks. Then there was and still is the breast pain. That has been exceptional and stressful. I've also had problems sleeping, fatigue, peeing every 5 seconds and lots of mood swings, oh and gastric problems, such as bloating, etc.

On the plus side I have gone the opposite of most women and my acne/rosacea has improved markedly and my perpetually dry skin has moisturized. Explain that one to me.

I forgot (ha ha) memory lapses have been noticeable as well and sex drive has dropped. I'm pretty sure there are other things that I can't think of at the moment, but they'll come to me.
