Help! This is the Worst!
Posted , 8 users are following.
I am 50 and have pretty much every peri-menopausal symptom! I can't take it anymore. I am trying to carry on with my life (three kids, job, boyfriend), but dont know how much longer I can keep it up! For the last few months I have:
Anxiety
Dizziness - off balance, brain shifts (constant)
Headaches
clogged ears
Insomnia
Night Sweats
Now some daytime hotflashes
Exhaustion
Nausea
How is anyone supposed to live like this? I am going to the Women's clinic in a few weeks to see what they suggest. I am also on a low does AD (but very low dose). I dont know what else to do. Why am I getting so many things when my sister has nothing!!!

Hey Jen. Apparently you and I aren't alone in the roller coaster of Menopause. I've been in, I believe for going on 8 years but just now have I noticed a few extra things going on with me and our good old friend menopause. I had a partial hysterectomy along time ago, about 27 or so years ago, but they left my olvaries so of course i'm having menopause. Well a new one for me to learn is the BMS Burning Mouth Syndrome, now that's not fun either but I'm learning a few tricks for that one and it so far seems to help and hopefully will go away soon.Another new one for me are my breast have softened up, oh yeah, I'm 60 now, I forgot to mention that one, my one breast is also starting to be sore but heard that goes with menopause too but who knows, I could have pulled a muscle in that area. I've also had total fatigue in the late afternoon to where I can barely do a darn thing, so fatigued. I get all of yours you listed too, so I'm hopeing that I'm heading in the downward stage of all of this, being I think I've been in it for almost 8 years in April. Do you know anything about the FSH-H levels?

I did the 24 hour urine test and am waiting for the results from the women's clinic in a few weeks. So I dont know what my levels are at this point but there is not doubt that I am peri as my periods are wonky.

Yeah, I had mine done back in 2008 the FSH-H level read 49.8 and than they did one in Jan. 2015 and it was 77.4 so I know I'm in mine but I don't know what the levels mean and where they will go when we are heading downward in this menopause thing.
