Hi all just letting off steam!
I'm sick of this roller coaster ride I seem to be on I'm 41 and over the last 19 months I feel like a completely different person! I've had all tests imaginable and all come back clear which is great news but! I still get horrendous anxiety which I have tracked to when I'm ovulating and just after my period turns up! The nerves and tummy issuers around this time is awful. The night sweats have eased since I've been having acupuncture and I'm also taking magnesium, vit b 100's and zinc I eat healthy I've cut down on caffeine and alcohol I do Pilates and some meditation yet when the bad days are here it's hard to stay focused! My periods are mostly now every 23 days with a few 28 days thrown back into the mix all the symptoms of peri but as blood levels came back fine docs still say no! Advice please before I loose it completely.

I've read through the other posts and can't add much at all, except to say that it's not in your mind, it's your hormones. They are powerful things and antidepressants are not the answer. They just cause a whole raft of problems of their own.
I suffer from time to time with palpitations and anxiety. I refuse to take any medication for it. I find a cup of tea and some deep breathing works well. Just be kind to yourself, it won't last forever.

Hi darling,
Wish I could wave a magic wand for all of us! No hrt for me, as not allowed to take it, but I do not know who I am anymore! I am constantly feeling panic, completely overwhelmed by the sadness inside me, hot flushes are easy compared to the exhaustion I feel, let alone the numb hands and feet, the pains through my whole body crucify me, cannot hardly walk at times! Head aches are unbearable, as is the tinnitus, the disgusting taste in my mouth, the constant needing a wee, the breathlesness is frightening, I feel 90 yrs old and I am 49! I have had this on and off for 20 yrs as had a hysterectomy at 29, but over last 2years it's got worse and worse, again every test possible, all ok, apart from hormones!! I take vitamins d, b6 and b12 and evening primrose, waiting to see if they help, back to doctors Tomoz, as I really have been told not to hide away from antidepressants, as there is stuff in them that really helps with hormones! I have to try something, as my days now are truly full of dread, as honestly I feel terminally ill, I even look a complete different person! My only hope is listening to some ladies saying,, it will get easier, as honestly have no strength left.. love and best wishes to u.. xxx
