    Hi paula

    Yes I sometimes get it and also burning itchy skin.

    To be honest ive been in perimenopause for 8 years im now 48. My worst symptoms jave been anxiety depression severe stomach issues fatigue and insomniasad(

    Sorry for the rant but im in the middle of a flooding period after not having one for three months. Ive had endoscopy blood tests u name it but they cant find why im so bloated which causes me to belch constantly and feel breathless. Been put on 20mg of omeprazole for a week for stomach issues but as yet no improvement. Also been taking mertizapine 30mg Ad since November but trying to wean off as its causing weight gain. Praying you get some relief.

    Sorry for the long story having a bad day :0

    I felt like that yesterday.  I couldn't wait to get out of my pants and into some shorts. Whenever I feel like that, I get the water mister that I use on my plants and spray myself  with it. Cools the skin down.

    Hi Paula, just wanted to tell you that I too have burning legs. And not only burning - also weak, jelly, shaking, going numb, etc., etc.

    It's horriblle and brings so bad thoughts to my mind ... I find this as one of the most stressful symptoms of peri-menopause and since I have not done any testing on it, I am not actually sure if it is menopause and this drives me insane...

    I am now a little more relaxed reading here that other women have it.

Been prescribed omeprazole for acid reflux but not working as yet. Its driving me crazy. Makes me not want to eatsad( had so many tests and alwaus come bck fine. Endoscopy bloods heart monitor lungs all clear but yet still im suffering. Can acid reflux really do this?
