Menopause :: Getting Antisocial In A Short Period Of Time
May 28, 2013
I'm in the menopausal stage of my life and it sucks. Suppose I just want to know i'm not crazy by hearing from others in the same boat.
I just can't believe how much i've changed in such a short period of time. I use to be so social and always having visitors. Now I never want to go out, just getting to work is a mission. My friends rarely visit as I just don't encourage it anymore. They all think Its because I have a new man in my life but it's not even that as I just need to be on my own a lot of the time. Lucky for me my new man is so understanding and gives me the space I need. How long is this going to go on for. Would really like to be me again and will I turn back into the old me or is this it. Omg Im starting to realise why its called "The change of Life".

If you are having an acid issue (let's say a flare up) is it possible to get chills with that for a short time period?

I first tested hsv2+ at 2.23/hsv1+ at 3.93. Asymptomatic. I got tested again on ELISA test one week later and it was ........ hsv2+ at 3.39/hsv1+ at 4.18. That's a huge increase in only a week. If I do have hsv2, and it looks increasingly likely to be the case, I probably did not contract it from what brought me to the clinic in the first place, but rather have had it for some indeterminate time. Has anyone else seen such a big increase in such a short time? Is such a big swing indicative of problems with the test?
Also, the clinic said they do offer a PCR for hsv2, but that it was a urine test. Is that possible? All PCR tests I've read about require swab samples from a lesion, or use spinal fluid. Has anyone had a PCR urine test, or know about their accuracy?

56 and my last period was 17 months ago. I remember as I was away on holiday and it was really heavy but nothing since. It's been really lovely not having to worry about pads and tampons. Then about 2 weeks ago got really tender breasts like I used to but not the old low feeling etc. Yesterday a period started , at the moment not heavy more spotting really. Am guessing I need to go to GP but am thinking this might just be a last hooray so to speak. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Three weeks ago, to my great surprise, I started to bleed after one year. The 2-3 weeks preceding this, my breasts were so sore, I was bloated and I has the typical "stringy" discharge that I used to get before my period. I was really not expecting another period but the bleeding was heavy and lasted for just over a week.
I saw my doctor a few days ago and she that she is obliged to send me for an ultrasound and possible biopsy if the lining looks thick. She said she is not worried but I am freaking out.
Can anyone share a similar experience? I read on one website that it is actually possible to ovulate and have a period after you stop menstruating for a year. I have not had any spotting - just this one "period". Of course, everything I have read says how abnormal it is to bleed after menopause and now I'm scared that there is something serious going on. My ultrasound is booked for two days from now.

A month ago I was fine, no pain, no aches, nothing.
Then a small burning ache started in a precise spot on my right thigh.....then my breasts started to hurt.....then my elbow on my right arm..... Both sides of my ribs under my armpits.....my shin on my left leg and my inner thigh......then my whole left arm from wrist to armpit.
I feel like I've just been punched all over!
Blood Tests - normal
Urine test - normal
Stool sample - normal
ECG - normal
The pain isn't all the time, but in short sharp or short burning aches, it's stopping me from sleeping properly and its sometimes really scary when I get a sharp pain in my chest and left arm. It takes my breath away sometimes
I also get these strange "rushing" feelings in my chest/head when I lay down to sleep at night. Its almost like the rush you get when something makes you jump, but it lasts only a few seconds then it's gone. But I can have 3 or 4 of them in a row. But of course it's quite scary when you've no idea what they are.
Been in and out of doctors for weeks now and spent nearly £100 on prescriptions that haven't helped.
Been put on Amitriptyline 10mg for the pains but no change yet after a week, will keep taking for now though.
Im not convinced it's Fibromyalgia, but my doctor isn't the easiest to talk to.....
If anyone has any insight and can help me understand this all or maybe has any ideas please comment.
I'm 28, only other issue is PCOS but that doesn't give me much hassle.

Is this possible? My period just started today. It's been an awful day (month, really) with horrible indigestion, horrible cramps, and for the past hour or so I feel an intense heat rising in my face and spreading through my neck and chest, then it goes away. I've been wondering if I'm getting hot flashes because this is fairly new. But also, can they happen now...while I start my period?

if it Is possible to be more specific about the age range of a potentially menopausal woman? I am 52 now and think I have been and still am perimenopausal for at least 6 years and I am wondering if I would be compared to someone in a particular age group? Is it possible you can give me an idea of the bounds of a timeframe in which 50% of women will experience symptoms of the menopause? I have found statistics on when women can expect to complete the menopause but this isn’t the exact question I want to answer as I have still not been free of my periods for a year yet. I look forward to any answers you can provide to enable me to get a better understanding of this period of my life. Thanking you in anticipation of your assistance in the matter. Kind regard.Please can you advise if it Is possible to be more specific about the age range of a potentially menopausal woman?

I have been to Dr about my long list of peri menopausal symptoms.
My main symptom at the moment is the constant tiredness, shaky jelly like feeling whenever I do small tasks.
I am finding everything difficult & have to pace myself throughout the day to the basic things that have to be done. Taking hours to restore my strength after doing a small task ie preparing veg, cleaning bathroom, hoovering, showering, hanging out the washing.
I have had lots of blood test but nothing showing. My FSH is 15.5 Dr said it shows i'm not menopausal that my ovaries are working, but obviously at almost 53 peri menopause. Does anyone know anything about FSH?
My Iron is 29 although at the lower end of the scale not anemic.My B12 is fine.
I take B6, a multi vit, iron tablets, Chia seeds, Flax seeds.I have been taking Magnesium citrate for a week now & because i cannot cope with the tiredness I am going to try HRT (although always been opposed to it) I have to wait until my next period before I can start on it.
Does anyone know anything else i can try? & is anyone else feeling this extreme tiredness during peri?
I'm not depressed & have very little anxiety my only anxiety is could this be anything else other that peri menopause!

I always used to have a body temperature below normal until 2 years ago. I had a partial hysterectomy at 25 and I'm now 60. I don't know if this is the typical hot flashes of menopause because I'm hot all the time, all year through. When I wake up, I'm comfortably cool for a few minutes. Once I'm wide awake I suddenly, within a second or two, get very hot and have to throw the covers off. I stay hot all day until I fall asleep at night. I've had my thyroid checked. It is apparently normal. Winters are a pleasure now! The funny thing is, though, I don't feel the heat as much as I used to. In addition to this, I am now perspiring for the first time in my life as well. Any ideas?

After 5 weeks of waiting, i finally received a letter in the post yesterday fromt he Hospital regarding my MRI scan. It states in the letter that everything was normal APART from "a incidental 14mm calcified, extra axial lesion in the left frontal region, probably menigioma". It goes on to say "no further action will be required but a copy of the letter will go to visiting neurosurgeon for further clarification in this regard".
i've just googled menigioma and it comes up with brain tumor - should i be worried about this do you think? :-( i honestly didn't expect the letter to say this as i have waited over 5 weeks for these results. Can anyone advise? thanks

Does anyone else suffer from sinus type problems during menstrual cycle.
I have been keeping a diary and have noticed that about a week before my period is due I start suffering sinus problems eg stuffy nose, blocked ears, congestion and fuzzy headed sometimes dizzyfish.
I keep explaining to my Dr that this keeps happening but he is not convinced there is a link. I'm sorry but my diary says otherwise.

Why is it that I can have such a hard time starting a stream when visiting the toilet during the night (after having been asleep for several hours) and have little problem during the daytime when awake and alert? As I see it this has less to do with BPH than with mind/body connections.

I started Yasmin a year ago (21 active pills and a week break. Always start the pack on a Sunday) to help with my PMS symptoms. I've been quite happy with them with the only exception that my period always starts about a week before my last active pill (I don't stop taking them when this happens, just take them as usual until the 21 days are over). My doctor said this can happen and that it's nothing to worry about.
Now I am going to visit my boyfriend from the 17th to the 25th september and would hate to be on my period then . I got my period today and i still have 7 pills left, so again, it's a week early. Looking at the calendar if my next cycle goes like this i'd start my period in the midst of my visit. If i wanted to postpone/skip my next period should i continue taking my next 21 pills without a break after i finish this pack? And then a third pack after which i'd have a weeks break? Or could this cause my period to come even earlier because my body is not used to this?

My periods are usually regular - 28 days but there are a couple times in a year where I get my period on the 21st day/a few days before or after the 28th. I last got my period on November 2 and it lasted for a week. On November 11, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside of me. I took the Nordette ECP (4 pills at first and then 4 pills 12 hours later) about 5 - 10 minutes after. On the 16th, I started my withdrawal bleeding. I usually get withdrawal bleeding, but this time it was a lot heavier. The first 2 - 3 days, I had to wear a pad and every time I coughed I felt blood coming out. It lasted like a period and eventually died down. It weirded me out a little because my withdrawal bleedings were usually quite light - light enough for me to wear only a pantyliner.
Last week, I got my usual PMS symptoms (slight sore breasts, a bit of cramping, and acne breakout). It has been 36 days and my breasts are back to normal, my cramping is very mild, but my acne breakout is CRAZY. Usually I only get maybe a pimple or two on my forehead but I have them on my forehead, cheeks, and chin! I've had no pregnancy symptoms whatsoever and no implantation bleeding as well. However, a few days ago my boyfriend and I had sex and my vaginal discharge was brown. I'm quite positive it can't be implantation bleeding because if it were, I should have bled a week before that.
Every time I've taken the ECP, my period is always on time. It's never been this late. I'm getting very anxious even if I have no pregnancy symptoms. My acne breakouts are usually my #1 indicator that I'm about to get on my period but it's been 8 days and still no luck! I've read around that some women really do miss a period and some can come as late as 70+ days. There's a high chance I'm not pregnant since I took the ECP in the window time and I wasn't ovulating that day, but any advice would do me well!

I had surgery on the 21st August to remove 3 fibroids in my womb. The surgeon entered through the vagina and burnt them out so I was told?
I started my last period on the 20th August which was late as the first day of my last period prior to this was the 11th July. My period usually lasts around 5/6 days. I used to regularly have a period every 28 days but following a miscarriage at 3 months in December 2011 and a miscarriage in July 2010 at 7 weeks my periods have been a little irregular. This year I had a cycle of 32 days in Feb, 28 days March, 31 days April, 28 days May, 33 days June, and 40 days in July?
On the 21st August I informed the doctor that my period had started the night before. They said dont worry we will be able to wash out the period to do the surgery. I should have been out of hospital same day but I felt really rough, and after 2 days they sent me home. The following day I was taken back in as I felt soooo ill, with lack of energy, temperature, high & low blood pressure and shallow breath. After a further 3 days in hospital they found protein in my urine and told me I had a urinary tract infection and gave me a course of antibiotics. Today is the 29th September and I still haven't had a period. Is this normal?
I am 39 and would like to try for a baby again next year. I am concerned something has gone wrong. I even thought I could be pregnant due to the late period last month. Plus, I currently have tender heavy breasts, and I feel nausea every morning, and my stomach feels bloated. It was very unlikely I would be pregnant though, as my period started last month on the 20th? I did a pregnancy test anyway and it was negative. I am still waiting for my period
Any clues as to what could be going on? Post surgery, I had a light bead for around 2 weeks, and the bleeding stopped on 10th September, im not sure if this was a period or post surgery bleeding as my periods were soooo heavy prior to surgery I am due to have a follow-up appointment on 21st November 2012.

I've been on Junel birth control for a few years, I originally went on the pill at 14 due to heavy prolonged periods. My pap was normal last year. I've started dieting last week and lost 5 pounds so far, however, I skipped a pill, and now I'm cramping and bleeding heavily. It's still a week before my scheduled period with the pill, and I've been bleeding 5 days. It's still kinda heavy. It's South beach diet I'm on and I'm 22 by the way.
