How much freaking worse can it get!!!

Pamela,

I know people say this all the time, but my symptoms are exactly the same as yours. The only thing I don't have is the face numbness. The vision issues are exactly the same, every single one.

I also had a full period which started and ended with spotting, then no period for 5 days. Then, I started spotting for 10 days. And, now I have had a very heavy period for 2 days. So, basically I have been bleeding for 24 days with only a 5 day break. I feel weak and tired. My vision is off and I have anxiety. Oh, and I live completely alone. I have one brother and he lives in a different state.

So, it's tough and scary.

Hi Pamela:

I hear you. I was diagnosed with MAV ( vestibular migraine) due to my symptoms--constant dizziness, headache, foggy brain, blurry vision, sound sensitivity.... I believed it might be triggered by hormone fluctuation. Lately, my blood pressures have been low. go figure. My GYN endocrine doctor is asking me to try hormone replacement therapy. However, my neurologist is asking me to use Migraine treatment. The migraine treatment I tried knock the headache and the fogginess done to certain degree, but the dizziness is still there. I am starting to try some other medication. I am also thinking about hormone-- not sure if I should at this point. Have you tried any treatment?

Hi Pamela

Sorry your feeling this way, i can relate though mine is not as bad but honestly its hell to feel doom most of the time, i get the eye pressure and head pressure too, seen opticians had CT scan but no pressure in head or my eyes, i get a weakness and numbness feeling all the way in my legs like im gonna drop down, it can be worse when driving, i feel shaky and break in cold sweat like im gonna faint, but its never happened. I carry some lavender eau de cologne in my bag to splash on my face when I get these feeling. It helps to relieve it. (Mums recipe)

I walk around with the anxiety and fear, i cant travel far from home as i feel scared, i cant be alone, i have this fear and it raises my bp. Every afternooni get this migraine type headach, Omg i know so much how u feel. The worse is doctors keep telling me im ok, put me on AD to calm me down.

Im scare to take meds in case i develop allergy, honestly im scared to do anything as my body is in constant anxiety, i wake up at night thinking about my symptoms and some days i cant sleep. I sometimes talk to my bf about it but no one understands as they look at u and your looking fine. I dont know when all this will pass, both my sisters never experience this menohell, my mum never had symptoms either, i keep asking my self why me?

I'm exactly the same my periods are erratic the last time I was 70days between periods

my pmt goes on for weeks my left knee hip back gives me pain ,i get pins and needles in my hands,

headaches daily ,panicky feelings ,breathlessness

nausea, elated blood pressure

I m constantly on edge

night time I get worse wake up even more breathless

then I'm up all night going through my phone trying to take my mind off how I'm feeling

it's a total nightmare

I just want to feel my old self again

I and feel well

just feel so isolated but reading your comments helps that I'm not the only one going through this living hell

yES!!! all of that and then some. it just makes me wanna lay down and cry all day... sometimes that's all i can do. the face numb feeling makes me feel like i had a stroke. i hate feeling so not normal. im 51 and still have periods every other month or so. the doc just keeps telling me its just allergies. it may be sometimes but NOTHING makes it better. ive tried many meds for allergies but nothing works.

so madning. i sure hope you find something that helps even a little.

feel for all you ladies ive had all this crap too for months now, wake at 5/6 every morning with awful adrenaline surges have to breath deeply to prevent a full on panic attack, from the minute i wake to the minute i go to bed i ache, im weak, im bloated, my stomach hurts & the health anxiety is unbearable i want to curl up into a ball till its all over i cannot eat have no appetite tried hrt made me feel worse big hugs to you all at least we are all going though together with such similar issues its got to be peri/meno xxx

there are vitamins that you should take while going through this. I'm not a Dr but learned magnesium citrate, woman's daily, probiotics all help. try to push yourself to exercise. hope i helped a little.❤️

I totally empathize with you. It's not an easy road, and I have had everything you describe. Some days feel completely unbearable, some are tolerable, and rarely, some are good. One thing my doctor suggested for me, and it has helped immensely is a chewable form of the amino acid GABA. You can order it online or get it at most health food stores. I chew one whenever I get up in the morning, feeling off, and it takes all the hard edges off my anxiety, and once that happens, of course my physical symptoms improve. It's a life-saver!! And totally safe, as it is just an amino acid. I highly recommend it. It has done wonders for my ability to function. I hope things get better soon. You are definitely not alone.
