Balance issues? I had no idea this was part of it.
I'm so sorry that so many of us are having such difficulties. The worst thing to me is that my sense of normal life shifted so gradually that I didn't realize I was in trouble til I was exhausted. The exhaustion, in turn, kept me from seeking help and implementing changes. Guess I'm mostly feeling very lucky that I'm in kind of a good place psychologically these days. I'm in a holding pattern, holding off on a hysterectomy as long as possible because of some other issues, and for now, things seem okay. Whew. My GYN says that if/when my hormone levels drop low enough, the fibroid I have might shrink, which might make surgery unnecessary. Here's hoping, right?

Just know ....that life ebbs and flows....and this too shall pass!! You are a strong, vibrant woman and you will get thru it....and believe it or not, I didn't at the time I was flashing, you will get chilled again and be cold again when you come out the other side!! I am again! I actually get cold sometimes again. For a while there....I used to walk outside in the Winter without my coat when I left work. I'd want to peel every layer of clothing off at work. I wore Summer clothes for 5 years straight!! I wore them out!! I wore summer PJ's for 5 years.....I never wore socks on my feet!! I was like -- who is this human? I used to be the little thin girl sitting their freezing at work when I was younger.....I had some difficulties going thru menopause that caused me to put 45 pounds on.....so I think that contributed....but I thought I'd never get over being hot! Hang in there sweetie!! You can do this. I also am still going thru the exercise thing you describe....I had to just walk for a while. I used to love working out.....and I got to the point that I couldn't drag myself out of bed....I didn't want to sweat any MORE!!! I was like no, I can't do this. I just walked some times and did yoga....but I got thru it....and you will too!! |
