I'm 35, I've had two kids. Surely fucking not but my symptoms say otherwise, I shall list them here for your perusal. They are somewhat exhaustive so apologies in advance;
Hot/ cold flushes
Vertigo
Palpitations
Being an irritable moody twat the majority of the time
Impending sense of doom around ovulation
(Maybe I'm subconsciously shit scared of having a 3rd child!)
Tit- ache
Fucking spots! All over my face! What's that about? I was a lucky teen with not one pimple, now I'm covered.
Dizzy spells
Auditory migraines- this is a new and wonderful symptom. I once heard "no woman no cry on repeat in my head for 2 hours at 3am in the morning.
Nausea
Breathlessness- which is absolutely awful the day before and 1st day of my period
Panic disorder
Anxiety. I've always had anxiety but this is like platinum anxiety, top notch anxiety where it's so overwhelming it's crippling.
Tingling in hands and feet
I've been to the Dr who disagrees that it's anything to do with the menopause and thinks I'm slightly neurotic.
I've not had blood tests for it as I've not been granted them.
My grandmother had 7 children (2 sadly died) she was done and dusted with periods at the age of 38. She was very young but am I right in thinking it can be hereditary? My mum was a fucking nightmare between the ages of 35-45. She was finally put on HRT and is still on it now at 56.
Is there anything I can do to help myself? I hope the wise moody menopausal women of Mumsnet can help me.
