I don’t really know. That’s why I’m asking you.
Sometimes my enough takes longer to get here…other times…it’s really quick.
Case in point. One day this past week I was a mess of emotions. Headache, dizzy, hot, then COLD, then hot. The cold part was a real shock to my system. I was freezing! I was so surprised!
I was blow drying my hair and instead of sweatin’ it back wet, I actually put the blow dryer to my neck and down the back of my shirt. Yeah, that does sound pretty crazy now.
Then I got sick feeling. Then I laid back down and text messaged the boss. Not coming in. Sick.
I stayed home from work. I dozed back off and then got up in a sweat. Again. (It’s actually happening right now.)
CRAZY things last week. You girls tell me if you’ve experienced this.
The normal hot then— not times. The phone ringing OFF THE HOOK at the office. Then a time or two some tightness in my chest (no left arm hurting) and then it would go away. Of course, I am guzzling cold drinks. ANYTHING cold. Some with caffiene, some without. No caffiene after about 2 ‘ish. It keeps me up (more than normal).
Okay, I noticed the day I stayed home…no tightness in my chest. AND none whatsoever today (Saturday). So, is there a connection? Is it all in my mind? Am I having an anxiety issue with the work phones??
I am taking the prescribed meds…the bionatural hormone replacement. Today, I actually “felt” a bit better than last week. Although I still laid down with the grandsons that were visiting and took a little snooze, I felt better. Maybe, I need to work in a snooze at work? What do you think?
By the way, the foggy picture is the feeling. In a fog still. Not my normal chipper, go-get-’em self. But I BELIEVE I will get there! I believe the fog will lift and I will be able to SEE clearly again!
You are all my “go to girls”….the ones I depend on.
Waiting on Him to fix me….

Sweetie, I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of this right now. But, I do understand. Sometimes it feels like you are losing your mind, but I promise your not. The fog will lift, and you will feel like yourself again, God will take care of you. I love you.

I agree with Denise! These things are all very real and not just mind tricks. Elevated stress levels can cause havoc with our already mixed up hormones and cause physical, mental, and emotional upheavals….or at least it does for me….BUT….just like a morning fog lifts as the sun rises….we know our fogs will lift with the Son….love you!

Angie,
I didn’t know you had this blog. When did you start it????
I just finished menopause. The hot flashes can be hormonal or stress related.
Stress exacerbates hormones and which makes it hard to deal with stress. If you are not having these symptoms when relaxed well, I would say it’s stress.
What hormones are you taking? Are they bio-identical? That is what your body makes. That’s what I took. It takes 2 weeks for your body to begin to adjust to the bio-identical ones and longer for your body to level out. It took me about 2 months of slowly moving towards feeling better.
I also took 3000mg. of Evening Primrose Oil, 1500 mg, twice a day.. It helps to balance out hormones too. Vitamin B Complex is good for stress and B-12 is good for energy.
You’re going to make it girl…. I have…
I’m here for you!
Love ya!
