Hi has anyone experienced thus feeling with the menopause had it constantly now for about 8 weeks never goes it feels like a cold numb forehead I know it sounds strange. I went to Drs yesterday and did some various tests for nervous system and stroke all ok. My anxiety and panic attacks are also bad.
Dr said it's probably down to menopause and anxiety but it's making me feel worse every day it's there. Should be used to all the symptoms we experience with the menopause I know xx 🤔🤔

Hi Rebacca,
I have numbness, tingling, needling all round the body from head, hand, feet, leg, up body for over 2 years. I am still suffering. I am not sure any one has the same thing for so long time?

Hi Lucy, yes I get tingling all around my body and have had it for 2 years. It comes and goes in certain spots, particularly my legs, feet and around my head. I am still suffering with it too. I have been diagnosed with chronic migraine at 41, but my Neurologist doesn't seem to think its part of these. At 43 and after SO many tests, the only thing that we can put it down to is perimenopause and my hormones going crazy. I now what you're going through and can sympathise 😦

I have had the weird numbness and tingling too. Doesn't usually last very long and is usually worse when my anxiety is high. These symptoms are awful!

My GP said this is part of anxiety. My one is so call fibromyalgia. I am not sure if this can recover or not. Very painful! Hopefully, if someone had and recovered , she could share here to us and gave us some hope! Appreciate advance!

I don't know anything about menopause since you know, I am a dude but I can tell you I have had a tingling, crawling, throbbing sensation on my forehead for over 4 years now. I had an MRI done 2 years ago. Found nothing. I had a MRI & MRA done last month. Again, nothing. No sign of MS or tumor. No issues with the veins and such. It is super frustrating. It isn't painful but is extremely distracting and constant from the time I wake up until I lay down to sleep. Makes me want to pull my hair out some days. My Dr put me on a medicine called Oxtellar XR last month and it helps just a tiny bit but it is still 100% there all the time. I have tried a lot of things. I have very low T and tried going on shots for about 3 months last year. It had no effect on my head but it screwed with my emotions to the point that I had to get off those shots.

numbness can be caused by migraines .. Migraines can be painful or painless, the auras that go along with the migraines can be insane and very frustrating and cause lots and lots of numbness dizziness..

Hi Everyone,
i'm 55 post menopause. I suffered from numbness & tingling for about 6 months
after delivering our son. I was 26, sent for brain MRI to rule out MS & Tumor-thankfully
all normal. I KNOW I was having extreme anxiety. I was thrilled to be newly married & have a healthy baby boy, but obviously very
scared to be thrust in to a whole new life.
Over time I settled in & truly loved being a wife~mom raising both a boy & girl. Strangely enough when our son left for college things started to change-the sadness & crying was overwhelming-physical changes. Little did I know when peri, menopause & post menopause arrived it would take me back to the beginning when I gave birth but so much worse. Then 3 years ago my period started to change, missed periods, very heavy periods, spotting, etc. & the anxiety reached a new high & I could barely leave my home or socialize, everything became a big deal-I'd make plans
with high hopes & then constantly cancel.
Practically in bed all the time. My anxiety manifests itself in several physical symptoms
that are overwhelming.
However, I'm at a point now where I can put my anxiety & fear in a box on a shelf in my closet & shut the door. Don't get me wrong they do try very hard to bust out & wreak tremendous havoc, but then I slowly rationalize how to put them away again.
I equate it to me controlling my mind instead of my mind controlling me. I can't solve the worlds disarray but I can try my best to solve my own disarray. Presently, I'm now able to leave our home & slowly become a participant in my life. I can't solve the worlds disarray, but I can try my best to solve my own. I see more light now & realize I must do my best to live, enjoy & truly smell the roses.
Allow yourself the grace to heal with time....
I'm here for anyone who needs me, XO
