PeriMenopause symptom?

4 replies

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 10/09/2018 15:24

I'm 48 and my periods are all over the place, plus the not sleeping, emotional and irritable... but another thing I've noticed recently that may or may not be linked is that certain smells make me feel sick!! My DP after a cigarette (I've never smoked), my face cream, the toilets in Asda (I almost actually threw up a few months ago going in after somebody made a stink), I just can't seem to tolerate certain smells anymore.

I'm almost sure it's hormonal as when I was pregnant with DS the smell of food frying made me hurl... does anybody else get this or am I just odd?

Sense of smell is certainly a symptom. My mum is a retired GP, and she reassured me about it, as I'm experiencing the same things at 40. Seriously, I turned 40 in March, and it's like my body immediately went 'right you're 40, let's get this show on the road'. Grin

Not only can I no longer tolerate certain smells, my sense of smell has increased, and I often smell our neighbour's cooking (and the houses are not right next door to each other), and I never could before.

Ah, so it is that then! Just another lovely symptom to add to the list! Oh joys of being a woman Grin

Cheese, shit, really?! I turned 40 this year, I'm randomly awake for hours in the night, not ideal with a 1yo, I walk around with a humid glow half the time and random things pong. I'm not ready, I only started the school run years last week!
