peri-menopause?
| Mon, 05-28-2007 - 3:48pm |
So about 6 months ago I was having hot flashes. Then they stopped. My period's been really irregular. So I *think* I'm in peri-menopause.
The reason I'm posting is to ask:
Lately, I suddenly am having trouble handling even a glass of wine. It seems like I've become oversensitive to alcohol out of the blue. I'm also being more, well, clumsy and scatterbrained than usual (I think. It's always hard to judge such things.)
Yes - I've got a doctor's appointment (tomorrow, as it happens). I was just wondering if anyone had noticed things like this happening when they hit peri-menopause and if that's a possible factor.

Ah yes. My favorite form of exercise. Ahem. ;-)
Thanks for confirming that it's not just me.
As for "clumsy and scatterbrained" - I'm sitting here recovering from injuries sustained by getting distracted and having my bike pannier get caught on a post. I ended up twisting my ankle, banging my knee and hurting my wrist. Ouch.
Anna, so sorry to read about the injuries. Hope it's not too painful. I read a list one time of the symptons of perimenopause and it was unbelieveable! So many things affected! I thought about 6 months ago I was going thru it but now my drs and I think it may have been some medicine and extra work hours
