does anyone find that you cant show any kind of emotions going through the change? like if i show any kind of emotions the dizziness gets worse my blood pressure shoots up and my face is on fire and i feel funny all over and in my chest. my daughter got married today and i was a big ball of emotions and feeling all these things get worse. i really cant do all this its too much how is one to live like this? but its everytime i show emotions this happens i dont understand it

    hi Pamela - Yes, absolutely! My beloved dog just passed over the Rainbow Bridge last night & while crying, my head starts pounding, my heart starts racing, my rosacea starts flaring & my anxiety shoots thru the roof - i had to immdiately take my "zen" vitamin for fear i was going to implode - now when i am stressed/emotional my entire body goes haywire - i know your nervous system is impacted by falling estrogen - Congratulations on your daughters wedding -

      thank you pamela - it also seems like "normal" everyday things also push me over the edge - i can get "worked up" just worrying about the trash getting picked up - whats that about?

      pamela - are you post menopause? i am 62 & 7 years post, but symptoms really ramped up for me 3 to 4 years ago - i am hoping this is the end of it - i feel like menopause has touched on every body system - nervous system now on overload -

      HI - Wendy - wow thats weird how you are experiencing symptoms much longer after your period ended as well. my naturopath said it really is when your hormones bottom out as opposed to when your period stops - yes, since my symptoms started I cant recall a day where i felt "normal" - well, maybe this is the new "normal". Friends/relatives look at me like i must be crazy experiencing all these issues at my age thinking its menopause related - i am just so tired of it all - i know what you mean about a dull headache, its like the headache i used to get right before my period...tension headache, now with it, i get the arthritic creaking of my neck (this just started to happen) & i feel 100 years old -
