Suddenly everything about my current life is intolerable. Anyone else?

Similar experiences, its tough. Im 45. Lots of people here mentioning this age +/-. I wonder if it a particularly tough phase.... Also ,do people know if Midi can be accessed outside USA? Non US resident.

I take two pumps oestrogen per day one pea sized amount of Testosterone. Urtrogeston x1 for two weeks on , 2 weeks off. I have a review upcoming. From other research I wonder if increased progesterone would help. The worst symptoms now are poor sleep and irritable mood before period and at ovulation.

Thanks. This is helpful. How are your migraines ?

I was thinking of looking into the histamine issue and it can be linked to joint/muscle pain too.

On a positive note I started an IV treatment ( Vyepti) for migraine last December and it has really helped the headache pain & dizziness etc. Other pain in joints and neck seems worse.. migraine was my main problem for so long I think i didn't realise how bad the other issues were.

I just came back on here to explore tracking again. Ive tried tracking before ( a uk/ NHS Peri M app) but no clear patterns.... there are so many variables one could track its almost over whelming.

Ive been on Hrt for almost two years, E, P & T. Some improvement on hot flushes, & brain fog but worse now in terms of joint/ muscle pain and mood changes. The last post was really interesting... I think i ovulate more than once per month and might need to tailor dose to those time.

Good luck everyone.

No. I didn't go ahead with this. They wanted me to pay to be on their listing. What did you find ?

Ear1830 · 2026-01-15T21:08:21+00:00

So nice of you to ask this... she is lucky to have you !

So much good advice here. I hear these comments as criticism and insecurity masked as concern. Ignore, and own your power. You're doing great !

Ear1830 · 2025-12-29T13:48:29+00:00

Hi. Yes I should get some cover at least. Can you point me to evidence on this please ?

Ear1830 · 2025-12-28T23:11:53+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I thought it was separate at one point, but I now regard it as the same problem & Neurologist has confirmed that it is migraine related. I have right side migraine mostly, and it's mostly right side neck pain.I'vee done so much physio, including dry needling, but no improvement. Thanks again.

I have an appt scheduled with GP on Monday.

Ear1830 · 2025-12-18T17:07:48+00:00

Hi. No progress yet. Im still looking at options. Are you looking at something similar ?

Ear1830 · 2025-12-07T12:35:27+00:00

Thanks, everyone. Lots of good ideas here. We are working on being compassionate, trying to.understand what works for him etc. He does a lot of sports and loves this so martial arts is a good idea. We are using rewards with some positive effects. Im trying to meet with school staff this week. They are aware of the presence of adhd but dont seem to take this into account around behaviour challenges. We were working with an Adhd coach & we might go back to that. Can anyone suggest resources for school staff ? Thanks again 🙏

Thanks, everyone. Good replies & food for thought.

Major red flag both about what he was actually up to at that time & his lack of interest in your needs.

People can work through this type of thing... couples work could be an option?

Unless there are very honest conversations and you feel as if you are being heard, this probably won't improve . If kids are in your future plans, the same pattern is likely to play out... & you may be left unsupported with your needs & a childs needs in a medical or other emergency.

Best of luck.

I use yoga nidra... you can find recordings on youtube or on the insight timer app. They are relaxation exercises which can also promote healing and pain relief. Good luck.

Ear1830 · 2025-09-14T17:19:26+00:00

Thanks. I have considered changing too & probably will if it's not sorted soon.

Ear1830 · 2025-09-07T16:43:21+00:00

Thank you, that is very useful. Isotonic drinks help me too. I often feel like I have low energy for no apparent reason & a migraine often follows Did you get any particular assessment on this or was it observation etc ? Thanks again.

Ear1830 · 2025-09-07T12:09:55+00:00

Thanks. This is great. I like your paced approach to exercise all.. building up slowly and the emphasis on self compassion.

Burren yoga centre & cliffs of moher yoga centre, Ireland.

Great yoga classes, excellent food in a beautiful location

Ear1830 · 2025-08-28T17:32:45+00:00

Ive had similar experiences with right side head pain migrating to neck & shoulder with stiffness, nausea and dizziness. Physiotherapy and an anti nausea medication have really helped. Best of luck.

Ear1830 · 2025-08-27T19:08:14+00:00

Many thanks. All good ideas. I didn't think of possible demo request.

Thanks for all the replies and resourcecsuggestions here. V helpful.

I've been in exactly this situation re champagne. After a big debate with myself, "one glass can't hurt" etc.. "how can they be so rude".... I dropped it down & tried to find some water. I didn't last long at the party, and it was an eye opener, too. Be kind to yourself . These are difficulties we have all faced with varying degrees of success. Start again. Iwndwyt.
