peri menopause

[Coffeeandwinelover]

hi. I’m 51 still get my period. A bit off but not to crazy. I really don’t know if my symptoms are menopause related or I’m just so stressed or worse. I had major insomnia 5 months ago. Very stressed about stuff. Somehow got better. Then started get indigestion and stomach pain hasn’t gone away entirely for over 2 months now. Done blood tests all normal. Did a ca 125 a bit high. 36. Stool. Normal. Now my insomnia is back and my stomach hurts the worst. And I’m on my period. Which is worse. I also think I’ve triggered IBS from the stress. Any thoughts?

Hi definitely perimemopause, it's just horrendous isn't it, I have all of the symptoms you have. Sadly stress will make it worse too. Sending you a big hug x

Should I worry about the ca 125 result?

[Rainbow2468 in reply to Coffeeandwinelover]

Hi only just seen this, no I would kit worry my ca125 result was 55, and I was told by three gynecologist's and a consultatant, that it was nothing to worry about. Periods, cysts, adenomyosis and endometriosis can cause it to raise up. One gynecologist said it had to be in the thousands before they would be conserned. Have a lovely day sorry for the late reply. 🤗❤️

Stress doesn't exactly help matters does it?

[Rainbow2468 in reply to Turnipgirl]

No it doesn't, I woke up at 4am full of anxiety so frustrating x

[Turnipgirl in reply to Rainbow2468]

Yes it's extremely frustrating isn't it when that happens!

I have had an unsettled night due to having got myself stressed about money and it really eats at you doesn't it?

[Rainbow2468 in reply to Turnipgirl]

Hi I'm so sorry to hear that, and yes it certainly does. I hope you are able to get your money worries sorted out. Sending you a big hug 🤗

Good news as I have just been on the phone to the bank and we have come to an arrangement in regard to the money problems.

I think they would rather customers contact them and talk openly about things as if they don't know there's problems they can't do anything for you.

Lots of people hope those kinds of problems will just go away but it doesn't work like that does it?

Thing is taking matters to court is extremely stressful for all involved isn't it?

[Rainbow2468 in reply to Turnipgirl]

Hi I'm so pleased that you have your money worries sorted out, and the bank where able to help you. And it's so stressful and scary when you are worried about money. And yes going to court is definitely stressful. But you did the right thing asking for help. I hope things continue to improve for you xx
