I wake up feeling quite unwell in the mornings, like I have been hit by a truck with added nausea.
My sleep is disturbed though, I usually have 1 or sometimes 2 small glasses of wine most evenings, but you'd think I'd been partying until all hours the state I am in.
No flushes yet but 52 and periods getting heavy and episodes of massive anxiety so I presume I am peri?
Had anyone cut out alcohol and instantly felt rejuvenated? If not all ideas welcome.

Hi, I'm 45 and have been peri for 2 ish years. I use to love a few drinks especially on a Saturday night but I've had to cut it out. Just 1 beer gives me the hangover from hell, it's just not worth it. I feel crap enough in the mornings without adding a hangover to the mix. Sleep deprivation plays a massive role in this.

So I might end up giving up the one thing keeping me sane and still feel crap.
Well I'd better at least give it a try though I suppose.

It's rubbish isn't it, tbh it really annoyed me at first having to stop drinking especially when it didn't seem to bother most of my friends at my age, I kept thinking why me? And I found I couldn't take my drink as well as before, just one glass of wine left me sleepy and the hangover was horrendous. I've kind of got use to just not drinking, still annoys me but I don't have much choice so have to get use to it either that or I waste my day the day after.
