Daily challenges in my daily life. To let the Lord be apart of everything no matter what and maybe even more when life changes. To trust and have patience.
The challenges to be a young lady with perimenopause and those challenges. No one of my girl friends has been where I am cause they have had a kid or kids. Mom is gone so I can’t ask her about how it was for her or when it started for her… To understand the “new life” being a young woman with perimenopause.
How a womans life change… with pain, Hotflush, Night sweats, Irregular periods, Vaginal dryness, Chills, Sleep problems (have I had since 2003 cause stress), Mood changes (no change here yet), Weight gain and slowed metabolism (I have rearly notice this), Thinning hair (nothing yet) and dry skin (not more than normal 🤪), Loss of breast fullness (I would think this is more comman for woman who have been pregnet).
The hotflushes … they comes as sudden as everything else in the perimenopause… How I sudden need to lay down in the couch cause I shake and freeze as much as my skin feels like it was burning (the start of a hotflush) in the same moment as I don’t have any energy 🤪😔.
The nauseousness comes approxy 10-15 min after the hotflush and I can be nauseous up to one hour or more. Which leads to I can’t eat breakfast – the really base for me. I don’t get bad every time, which I am really thankful for. Yet, the whole thing is to try to cope with this.
I think I got into the perimenopause becauce of a mix of things in life. One cause I haven’t had kids, an other cause of my eating disorders and the third is probably genetic… I don’t get hotflush or nauseousand every month, just wgen I do it’s changes how l8ng I am… Yet, it’s never fun when it hits you!
Things you have to figure out by yourself and talk to your doctor…is why is the periode late? How long does it “need” to be gone before recieving the facts that ” you got there without warnings”? And how early it actually can start!?! Why isn’t anyone talk about this with us ladies about this? Shouldn’t the suciety take more responsibility? Teach in the schools? Inform us through magazines mm.
Not even the churches talks about it 😔. Why is even the churches quiet about this? Why is this something that is so private?
I have co-workers who got it and they are surprise I already got it. I think that says quite much about “what women knowledge or not knowledge” is about this stadge in life. And that is sad! Therefor will I share! It should be as easy to talk about this any other ‘awkward’ thing. No fuss! This is as important as the knowledge about safe sex, when to have sex, rape etc. It can all happend to us, maybe especially us woman
Just the challenge to have enough energy after work for life isn’t the same anymore past 40. I am 🤞 (crossing my fingers) for more energy today, tmrw and for the future than I have had so far. Because I need my energy every day.
Yet, I am thankful for life, work, the challenges life comes with. And I am burning for facts tha most other don’t talk about.
