Ugh this weekend has been horrible. I have had cramps and terrible indigestion. I do not think it is caused by food. I think it is a "phantom period" - I have had a few during the ride up to menopause. Both prior attacks had me getting transvaginal ultrasounds right after they were so bad - but each time all was well. It really feels hormonal. Last week I was burning into tears over the slightest things and when I get my tom usually I have lots of indigestion.
I would really like not to go to work tomorrow but I have a dentist appointment and I already one time cancelled an appointment on no notice due to illness so I can't do it again. Also I have found sometimes that getting out of the house and not focusing on the illness seems to help.. either distract my mind or just generally make me feel better. But I am really suffering. |

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. I had a few similar episodes when I was perimenopausal.
I do think getting out of the house and keeping your mind on other things helps. splitimage __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
