I’m 43. About a year ago after my partner had a vasectomy, I stopped BC, then I went a year without a period. My GP ran two blood tests which showed abnormal hormonal levels(FAI LH, and FSH)
GP diagnosed me as menopausal.
im 43. Had my first baby 3 years ago, with zero issues(if that means anything).
up until about 8 months ago, I felt completely fine.
other than my lack of periods, zero meno symptoms.
First oddity? I woke up one day and my muscle mass was just gone. Literally it seemed liked over night, my athleticism just fd off.
Over the last 6 mos, I’ve generally just felt awful.
Dizzy, weak, nauseous, off balance. I get every virus, bug, allergy infection after 20 years of sturdy resistance. I go into these “storms” of anxiety that render me utterly useless. I become so wrapped up in anxiety that I can’t do mundane tasks.
I was FINE 6-8mos ago
I just feel sick, physically all the time. I literally hear things differently as if I’m underwater.
what is happening. I never even feel normal anymore. I start HRT on Sunday but feeling completely hopeless
