    Hi dev,

    The feelings you are having are perfectly normal for this stage in our lives. I just knew I was dying a few weeks ago and could not shake it, but eventually it went away. I have experienced everything you are describing and more, including really dark and scary thoughts out of nowhere that leave me thinking where the hell did that come from?! like you, my hubby is my rock and I don't think I could go through this without him, it helps that he took it upon himself to educate himself about menapause. all I can say is hang in there and eventually you will have more good days then bad..sending you hugs!

    I'm with you. Feel like falling apart at 47. I lost a tooth a few months ago to a crack from grinding and now I've been in horrible pain all week from another tooth. Dentist didn't see anything really so probably again grinding but hurts so bad despite antibiotics and steroids so scared want to keep rest of my teeth and alone no husband etc. Just in pain and scared. Feel like my 85 year old mother is healthier with all her teeth. Think that you have a husband and dog who love you. You will feel better soon.

    Hi dev. i have been through that scenario. Its awful. I am about 4 years into peri now. This is where I am totally floored and cant make sense of how shifting hormone levels can have such an impact on our thoughts. i could have had same symptoms 10 years ago and not given it a second thought. Now, every new symptom is a death sentence. and i totally fall apart...mentally. i pray daily ((hugs))

    what makes it all worse is that the doctors they just don’t give a s**t. They don’t think things through anymore don’t research the whole history. So I had a little elevated cholesterol she puts me on a diet and it ends up higher than before both my LDL and HDL average. Like what the hell. Then I pull a terrible muscle or something after my hysteroscopy and polypectomy and she won’t even give me an ultrasound or an x-ray or anything. She sent me for a PT which is making it worse etc. etc. so over it so over it so over it. I should’ve listen to my aunt when she said don’t worry about the postmenopausal bleeding it’s fine but no I had to go in there and do it and now it hasn’t stopped the pain and suffering and all the doctorsAre just awful they don’t listen they don’t believe you there’s so much red tape and you wonder why we have anxiety?
