39, worn out and inexplicably moody - what vitamins please or other suggestions🥺

[MaybeItsTimeForMeNow]

Not sure if this it the peri coming or what but I'm feeling all over the place through the month, and not getting better. Terribly ratty the week before my period, short tempered, zero tolerance. I'm tired to my bones but quite often unable to sleep. Aching a lot through ovulation, almost as bad as a period (I know this thanks to strong cvm). Also aching feet after a day's walking, very painful if I've then sat down and stood back up. Bloated heavy stomach, mainly the top part below ribs.

I have 3 kids 7 and under which says a lot, but not felt like this before, especially the moods and foggy head/inability to sleep. I've changed my diet to really reduce bread, upped salads and green stuff massively. Cut out 70% of alcohol consumption, drinking more water.

I think next steps is trying some sort of vitamin? Any suggestions for what's good at my age? I feel I'm on the border of general womens vits and trying stuff for peri men?

You need to book an appointment with your GP.

Hope you feel better soon.

I would get your bloods tested. You can also do it privately if accessing the GP is a hassle.

With the exception of the period stuff, this sounds a lot like me when I was vitamin D deficient. I would get your levels tested. Cut out all alcohol. Prioritise sleep, even if it means taking a sleeping tablet for a short period.

I started these alongside my DH, use code Geeky30

Ive just reordered us a years supply, they have 100% transformed my sleep, i fall asleep quicker and far more restful.

The have also (potentially TMI) put my bowels on a far healthier schedule.

I feel generally better.

To help i ordered a weekly AM/PM pill box from amazon and we top that up every sunday
