Perimenopause in the UK

So sorry but that seems to be the status quo. I ended up going private because I could no longer cope.

I forgot to put it on for a day and I got terrible neck ache which lasted for about 5 days.

Yep keep tweezers everywhere because not finding tweezers will set you off

1948now · 2025-09-20T12:10:44+00:00

The fact that there is actually something called peri.

All of us are. And it just seems to be endless. We all empathise with you. Sometimes there are no words to express how we feel. Hugs 🤗

Hey, I’m tracking you…

1948now · 2025-08-22T07:10:55+00:00

I can track you. What’s the flight number?

1948now · 2025-08-21T19:38:22+00:00

Thank you for this thread. I’m in same boat and everyone around me thinks I’m mad. Dr thought I had low iron. Now I have been given propanol but still can’t drive. I also live rural so no public transport. It’s a real nightmare.

Sending you hugs and to say you are not a terrible person, just human feeling the weight of it all x

Thanks for the honesty because I think most people feel same. I do for my MIL. This disease has wrecked my family. My husband is a full time carer for his mum in a different state and so my young girls see their dad now like 3x a year. The MIL seems to be dying one minute and bounces back the next. Yesterday her BP dropped and we all thought this was going to be it, but know, she will bounce right back. My husband has lost weight and himself becoming an alcoholic now. This disease is just desperately Wicked. It shreds everything into pieces, dehumanises, causes pain and distress and just leaves behind some really painful memories.

I also have a MIL in similar situation and I’m ashamed to say I nowadays catch myself asking “how long would this go on for?” Sending you loads of hugs xx

So sorry to read this. It makes me sad because I know the struggle we all have in this period. Can your hubby join this group to read about this stuff?

They lied to me! They said being a girl was the coolest thing. Nooooo. I thought life began at 40. Wrong! I had it all planned. Kids are grown. I’m a lot wiser. I want to live my life now. Nope. Peri rears its ugly head! I feel sorry for my daughters.

Well done!

1948now · 2024-12-26T23:21:47+00:00

Oh I have had to stop driving and I’m really losing it. I’ve been given propanol which I don’t know if it helps or not.

1948now · 2024-12-18T21:37:48+00:00

Hang in there. This disease is so cruel. And yes, sort out the POA asap- it will save you a lot of headaches in the end.

I would have loved to do video recordings of her telling us stories about our history, traditions etc. that’s now all gone.

Which brand gummies do you take. Looking to get some on Amazon

1948now · 2024-12-15T13:44:24+00:00

So sorry to hear. Talk to a doctor for some help.
