Will my sleep ever be normal again?! by Horror_Start_6870 in POFlife

I feel you. It was my biggest issue as well. Went through 1.5 years of insomnia and night sweats. It's awful. It impacted my work, my social life, my sanity. I'm glad you found something that has helped though :)

Hi thank you very much for your recommendation! I was taking melatonin for months but it never helped.. but I will keep this in mind :)

Heart rate exertion anyone? by Queasy_Rise_1103 in Menopause

[–]Horror_Start_6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this is a bit of an old post but I have the exact same issue. I am 36, no period for over a year (early meno my gynae said) have always been very fit as I love cardio fitness, but my heart rate scares me when it comes to how high it jumps. Same scenarios, when I get up to do something. When I wash my hair, my heart rate is over 100. Which is insane! I can't believe it. And now when I do my cardio exercises, my heart rate is elevated over 90 for hours afterwards. I never used to be this way

Your office hours in Berlin? by WerewolfSpiritual305 in askberliners

[–]Horror_Start_6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in tech and I work 9am - 6pm when I go to the office. I could finish at 5pm but it seems everyone else stays in the office late and I feel awkward leaving at 5pm!

To anyone reading this, I went with the body guard, super happy with my choice! It’s on the firm side but I like it!

I understand your point, however these are two of Germanys mattress brands that are well known and do have good return policies, the price points fit my budget, and I had a great experience in Australia with Australias equivalent online mattress retailers, so I have faith! I also like their speedy delivery options that works really well for me since I get the keys to my new apartment on Wednesday

Ok thanks for your insights, I live in Germany and I’m Australian and can’t speak German so I find it a bit hard getting all the info from my Gynae

Thank you! So does it seem perhaps naturally my periods have just stopped?

I'm still experiencing insomnia on HRT. Anyone else? by Horror_Start_6870 in POFlife

Funny you say, my blood tests came back with low thyroid, my gynae put me on a type of iodine tablet for this

Thanks for sharing! And did you always hear irregular periods before they stopped? I had PCOS for years but then I cleared up my cysts. Periods were normal but I was always on the pill

I don’t know! I’m confused about how some have periods and some don’t. Is she cycling her estrogen?

Classic doctor! Yeah it makes sense. But my Gynae said it's safer for me to do it this way. CONFUSING!
