Hi Ladies

I apologize up front...I have never been this whinny in my life.
I just feel crappy today. I am really nauseated and I have so much gas in my stomach (day 8 of my cycle, period ended 2 days ago). I have these pelvic cramps and I am so tired I could fall asleep right here. I have a new boil in my groin and in general I feel like a HUGE, ugly dumb person today. I woke up crying and cried during my morning walk. Anything can set me off. I have those electric shock things up my back today as well.

I don't understand what is happening? Anyone want to guess? Is this estogen dominance or what? <sigh>

Thanks for listening ladies....this is just hormones right..I am not dying...

well actually we are all dying, just not when you think, live every day like you are and your life will be enriched, and yes its our hormones !!!! i know it might not work for others but when anxiety of death comes upon me i just welcome it, praise my lord for the days ive been given and know that i am going to a better place, so far ive always been wrong, i know one of these days ill be right and ready- good luck......

it will pass.I hope soon for you.I have had poopy days as well.Try to be good to yourself.GOD-bless

Wow. I'm thankful for the timing of you being "whinny". I smile because I called myself that just this morning. Amazingly, this is day 8 of my cycle, and I can now accurately predict that I will wake up nauseous, with diarrhea and vomiting. I applaud your ability to get up and take a walk! I can barely get from the bed to the shower to the couch. Perimenopause has never interfered with my job before, but I missed a day last month, and I have no idea how I would work today.

Before he went to work this morning, I told my compassionate husband that I wasn't sure I could continue functioning in life if these symptoms worsen. I think I generally have a high pain tolerance, but I have absolutely had it!!!!!

So, while I have little understanding of why this may happen on day 8, I'm pretty sure you're not dying.

Thanks for your perfect timing in sharing.

Hi Lynette

Thanks for your reply..WOW...your story gives me some perspective. Knowing someone else feels these things helps me breathe easier. I guess I am lucky I have never thrown up from this nausea..close but no..
Oh this crap interferrs with my work regularily..I have called in and gone home ill more than I can count...and believe me I am not the "model employee" some days.

I think for me the constant depression from watching my days slip by and me not participating in life in general is what gets to me...

Thanks again for your reply

Maura

I have grown accustomed to feeling crappy and even some does feel a little better than crappy! It has got to be hormones but from what I have found over the last few years the hormones are so unpredictable that I still don't really know what hormone problem I have other than they are not right.

Hi Nc

Thanks for your reply...although not a religous person..I get your message all the same...life is just that..life and after life..death..so nothing to do but charish the time we have....good point.

Hi Lady E
Thanks for the support..I will be good to myself today..I can promise myself that much!

Oh NOOOO, poor you! you caught it from me by reading my post re hormones versus gastroent!! LOL That's exactly how I felt. Take it easy with some ginger ale and crackers and know that by tomorrow it will probably be gone.

I'll join you feeling crappy today. I don't have nausea, but anxiety and terrible fatigue. Had my first visit with my psych yesterday and I felt GREAT ALL DAY. The xanax is helping my anxiety alot, but I felt like poop today. I think the roller coaster of feeling great one day (I'm cured!) and the next feeling the pits is very EXHAUSTING and DISCOURAGING. Hormones? I guess so, what else do we have to go on???
