I hate to start my post sounding pessimistic, but I have celiac disease (and many symptoms associated it with it), and have felt unwell for most of my life, to be honest. IÂve also had problems with my period  bad cramps, etc. I figured, ok, I can deal with all of this. Well, IÂm 44 and I believe IÂve been in perimenopause (sp?) for a couple of years, with it getting worse and worse. ItÂs exacerbated my celiac symptoms greatly, my facial skin is like an oil slick, IÂm getting acne again, IÂve developed burning mouth (which I swear I think I could take any of my other symptoms over this pain).
HereÂs what IÂm wondering. Is it only going to get worse as I get older? When I reach menopause, are things supposed to stabilize? Will my symptoms calm down? (I believe they are hormone-related.) I know things can always be worse, and I hate to sound like IÂm complaining; but IÂd love to hear from people who have gone through similar things, and that they feel better at a certain point. Thanks.
