My body has been a messsssss lately with a sheer unbelievable clusterf*ck of strange symptoms.
Several rounds of bloodwork have come back normal.
I've upped my thyroid med cos of exhaustion, feeling cold and feeling depressed and it's helped a tiny bit, but not much.
My Dr's have been clueless and we're about to start testing for serious/ rare/ scary illnesses next week.
But, sitting at home today I'm like "Omg!! Perimenopause??"
Even tho I still feel like I'm 15, I'm actually 43 :facepalm:
So I should've thought of it :facepalm: And my Dr's should've thought of it :facepalm:
I guess the thing is, as with every other damned medical condition I've ever had, I get all the weird, non-typical symptoms.
Like, I'm getting cold flashes, not hot flashes. Like really, really cold... shivering even when the weather's warm/ I'm dressed warmly.
Also, I'm hungry alllllllll the time. I'm eating a ridiculous amount of food and burning the calories straight off.
I've got brain fog so bad it's starting to resemble dementia and I don't feel safe to drive a car some days.
I'm sleeping heaps... If I had a choice, I wouldn't get up at all. Just roll over and sleep all day and all night.
Plus a long list of other weird/ scary/ intense symptoms that have been going on for over 2 months.
Anyway, I'll get bloodwork done for this next week but until then, anyone want to reassure me/ cheer me up with their own list of ridiculous/ horrendous peri/menopause symptoms shitshow? :rolleyes:
Thanks :hug:
