i think i am going through menopause. i went to two drs because of my severe red sore throat and tongue. they said nothing was wrong with me. i have a burning sensation in my head that comes and goes consistently with headaches. sometimes it's one or the other or both. this burning sensation will move around sometimes in my hands, feet and chest. mainly stays in my head though. kinda hurts. but there's no sweat. thinking this is hit flashes? It all started in Feb 2022. at sundown i immediately feel the change of dread, anxiety and fear. bad thoughts flood in. constantly fighting it till i fall asleep. i consistently wake up at 3am because of burning Sensation. in my head, which happens less during the day. I will be on the hunt for a new doctor. i have every imaginable symptom for menopause. Sore muscles and joints,

bloating, overly sensitive sinuses and allergies, hair loss, nausea, dry skin

insomnia, acne, constipation, gastritis, skin sensitivity to UV, skin thinner and more sensitive to everything, food allergies, pelvic pain, fatigue, malaise, ups and downs. downs come at night. i currently have i believe to be burning mouth syndrome and a scalloped swollen tongue, extremely red sore throat. two doctors and a dentist told me I'm fine. makes me more scared. feel like I'm going out of my mind. any thoughts. I'm 50. started going through perimenopause in my early 40's. I also have hypothyroidism, PCOS, insulin resistance and PCOS for the last two decades. feeling desperate for answers. posted a pic of my sore dry throat. that two doctors and a dentist said looked normal. i was fine before all of this. It started in feb with sore throat amongst other symptoms and over night my throat felt like i had strep, which was negative. all STD tests, throat swabs, urine and blood work all came back negative. with in one week i had all these other symptoms.

    Sometimes going to the dr makes us feel even more insane cause they say there is nothing wrong with us!! Im no brilliant dr (lol) but it does sound like menopause. I started this hell 6 years ago and it was the same thing as your describing with debilitating symptoms with no exact cause, they would just say it was anxiety and depression and throw antidepressants at me which made things worse. I began having intense anxiety, my phobias became more intense, my sense of taste almost disappeared (this is way before covid) i cant taste salt at all any more plus i have a warm slippery sensation in my mouth, severe nausea/appetite loss, gut issues to the point where i can barely eat, headaches, dizziness, fainting, tremors, extreme fatigue, insomnia, blurry vision at times, hot flushes, feeling like im constantly freezing, the joints on a few of my fingers will get painful bumps that lasts for weeks and my periods are unpredictable now...the list goes on. So i understand how you feel and you arent crazy
