Feel alone, scared, symptom list, pushing through
Posted , 19 users are following.
hi everyone again,
Not a good day today, so feel the need to come here. I have loving friends and family but no one can understand what I.m going thru so I really feel alone. Sometimes I.m okay and sometimes I.m not. Some days and moments are better than others but as soon as some of my symptoms subside and I feel more like my old more confident self then I.m knocked right back down again.
I feel like if I knew all of this was normal and that one day I would get relief, it would be much easier to keep pushing, but that is not always the case. Although I have no idea what else could cause all this madness, I still cant help but think I have some virus, cancer or one of my organs is failing. Sounds so severe but so are my symptoms. I cannot do anything these days without all my symptoms flaring. If I stand or do any activity I start to get hot and everything gets red like my legs and arms, face. I start to dry out...dry eyes, lips, mouth, skin. Skin looks really dull. I start to breath heavy, have dizziness (whole body dizziness) and I cant think well, feel l.m drunk and in black hot fog. I also then of course have increased heat/prickly/itchy sensations, stomach starts to gurgle, loss of appetite, anxiety and depression. I can be hot all over but have freezing feet, hands and nose. All this keeps me from being able to live and focus on what I love. It's all so disheartening, confusing and scary. My mind cannot rap my mind around it all and days like today I lack perspective or hope that its temporary. How could such horrible symptoms and body changes be temporary and how long is temporary, 10 years?? Only my love for the old me and my children keep me going. I.m gonna list my symptoms below. Some are obvious as hormonal, some not so much, everyone says I.m too young for this at 41 😦 Hugs to anyone experiencing anything similar.

I have almost all that you mentioned. i am from the far east & no different everyone of you here on this forum. Menopause has no barrier. Every other day, there are new symptoms popped up. For the past few days I have been feeling a strange tingling sensation on my scalp. Not sure anyone had this before. Went to the GP today to ask for referral to see a neurologist. Fingers crossed it is not something to do with damaged nerves. Life now is like a death sentence. Everyday is a torture ever since I started perimenopause 4 years ago. 4 years on I am still suffering from all the weird symptoms. I cried to God why Me? Why do people around me have easy menopause but not me??? But I thank God too, to have found this forum where there are so many beautiful women out there who are in the same boat as I am & all these sharing of experiences & words of encouragement keep me sane & going. Love & hugs to you & all.

I am suffering with this perimenopause, I live on a tropical island in the Indian ocean, I get lots of sun, fresh air and eat organic. Still everyday it's a new symptoms, I woke up today and my body feels feverish, flu like symptoms, body pains and joint pain s. but my skin feels cool and don't have body temperature, I felt nausea, Then feel hungry, dry mouth, had the worse panic attack last night. Sometimes i feel I'm going out of my mind. Nurses and doctors don't understand, I've done many tests, No one understands it, I feel so alone in my perimenopause world, luckily I can come here to talk about how I feel. Its really hard to function on a daily basis, I run my own little business and I have to work every day, I try to grab the time when I'm not busy to rest and help myself as I'm a single mum. Im scared to go into a relationship as I feel most man will not understand what I'm going thru. Hopefully we will all emerge better soon.
Praise God.

You are not alone. I'm from S.C. in USA and feel like someone stole my life. Have you tried herbal supplements? I am praying so much for me and everyone experiencing this. It's rough. How old are you? I'm 41 and mine started at about 39.

I'm there. Perimenopause has hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel like I'm losing my mind sometimes. I have OCD like symptoms, anxiety, depression, sweat like a teenage boy (armpits mostly), keep thinking something in my life must be wrong, obsess about my marriage, feel worse in the morning, sometime nausea, dizziness...I've been doing herbs and it helps...but it helps so much to talk to someone. You can really feel like you're alone!
