    Your list of symptoms sound like mine. Ive just left an appt for a stomach scan. Rib pain and stomach shooting pains. I had to tell the x-ray tech i have horrible anxiety while i laid there shaking. This is pure hell. Hoping we all find some answers and relief soon!! x

      it amazes me still after 18 months of this hell how we are all experiencing the same issues & having identical medical scans etc etc the medical profession doesnt see it can all be hormonal related! dont get me wrong we have to get these things checked out but if there was a test to say yes ladies its all hormones i for one would instantly feel better! i had an abdominal scan recently which has shown a ovarian cyst which needs rechecking so awful health anxiety waiting for that! i also had a scan of my pancreas because i wake most mornings with loose/orange poos! but that was fine, now awaiting a colonoscopy does it ever end x

      no i dont just very loose, not every day but definately worse round period time, have you had a colonoscopy?

      i agree, so many of us here in the same miserable boat! the terrifying scans ans waiting. at least we can all come here for a little peace of mind. i will be doing endoscopy scan next and probably colonoscopy also. ive started drinking celery juice daily which can help with poo and reflux issues and detox. wishing you good vibes for your tests ahead. x

    I've had every symptom you listed since I was 39. I'm 42 now. One would disappear and another would replace it and it just goes round and round. I still get my period every month and my symptoms appear before and after my periods but usually worse after. I am only generally symptom free maybe 1 week a month. I'm on and off alprazolam and sertraline since last year, I didn't want to initially and I hold off for as much as I could but those are literally the only ones keeping me sane right now. I'd say it's hard to stay in the right frame of mind with everything that I am feeling. It sucks!
