:disappointed: It has arrived. :disappointed: Ugh!

Dropping by to see how you are all doing. I checked in on my cycle count, and it turns out I'm in the triple digits now! Woot, day 108! :smiley:

I still find I have cramps around the timeframe where I'd normally get a period on occasion but, thankfully, that's about it ... well, the pms-dragon hits on occasion too, which is not a joy for myself or anyone around me that's for sure!

Day 86!! /fingers crossed :smiley:

What's the app? I can never seem to have enough apps. :wink: :smile:

Hi RoobyZooby (cute choice of name, btw), I'm new to the group, though not new to the whole peri/menopause happenings. :) I'm 51 years old and currently chugging along with the whole perimenopause affects, including but not limited to sporadic periods, sleep struggles, more aggressive anxiety, almost past the night sweats…

Melatonin had been working for me over the past year or so, but I'm finding that it's no longer working for me, so I've changed my routine a bit. I've added Magnesium to my diet as I've read that being low in that will definitely affect your sleep, plus I have also changed my nightly routine to include Webber Naturals…

Oh my gosh, why didn't I think of this! I'm down to about 4 periods per year (they are light and only last about 3 days at most) so I'm almost there!! Woot Woot! :grin: I find many times a period will hit during a stressful time; ie, my last one was near Christmas because I was the one putting on the family visit &…

I'm not on HRT, but I'm certainly not against it if my doctor decides to suggest that as an option the next time I visit with her about this.

Thank you for sharing this! ♥ I will definitely check out that app! :smile:

I'd never had issues with caffeine before this, but with the whole body change thing that happens during peri-menopause that may be a good idea to try. It certainly wouldn't hurt. :) I'm working on cutting out coffee from my diet, changing over to green teas, and cutting my pop intake right down so hopefully that could be…

That's a fantastic idea! I've just started yoga at our local parks & rec on Monday evenings to help with my core strengthening and to help release built up stress, but I can totally cast YouTube videos to my tv too. I didn't even think of that! Thank you!! ♥

They need to add a little laughing emote next to the 'Insightful', 'Inspiring', 'Like', 'Woo', and 'Hug' ones. :smiley:

I tried Gavopentin for my restless legs but it seemed to override my anxiety meds and I would wake up from nightmares and an anxiety ride while I was on it, so that ended that. I am finding that glucosamine works for them when it's just an ache, but once that 'tugging' (for lack of a better word) starts happening, I'm…

I hadn't heard that they were risky, though I was so desperate for any form of help that I just trusted my doctor (blindly?) as she's been really good with my issues in the past. I'll go do a little research on the two. :smile: What is 'mouth taping'?

I'll definitely talk to my doctor about this and see what she says. :) I also deal with restless leg, where abouts do you get your CBD lavender rub from? We have different shops around here that offer CBD oils, etc, and am wondering if they may actually be the ones that would offer it.

I'll have to talk to my doctor about that route. I had been put on the HRT route a few years ago when I had a period that lasted over 6 months, and it worked beautifully at correcting that. I had forgotten about that. It's definitely something I need to talk to her more about. Thanks! :smiley:

This should be something my doctor could advise me on though, right? I'd rather have someone with some knowledge in this area already give me some direction than me, myself, try to understand or sort out what the correct form would be. :smile: Thanks so much for your suggestions! I truly appreciate your time helping.…

I definitely plan to talk to my doc about this and a few other issues that seemed to have recently ramped up over the last few weeks. I seem to, thankfully, be past the night sweats & heat flashes for the most part, but no sooner did that end and the other things got worse. Thank you for the information regarding the…

No bath in this rental, but definitely keeping that in mind any future stays away from home that do have baths available! :) Thanks.

I'll definitely look into that. I'd never heard of it so hadn't even thought to look in that direction. Thank you so much! :)

Benadryl is actually the allergy meds that I take at night for the peri-menopausal itch that I fight with on my hands and feet. I've not tried CBD oil yet. It's of course offered all over the place here but I've not had the 'bravery' to try it yet, though I have looked into it. Starting unknown things can trigger my…

Thanks. :) Melatonin had also been working for me up to the last little while, so I'll definitely look into the sublingual melatonin and what may be offered of a similar nature here. :)

Thank you! I'll definitely look more into these products and see if amazon.ca offers it. I do love my Amazon. ;)

I need to lost 55 lbs for my first big goal and then I am hoping to lose the remaining 40 lbs to get to a healthier and more fit me. I'm doing this alone so could sure use the support of other like-minded people as a form of moral support, incentive, cheers, and hugs on those days/night where I fail. I hope to go through…
