Hello again to everyone . Really need reassurance today and at my wits end . I am 51 and haven’t had a period in seven weeks and the symptoms go on . Thoroughly depressed , tingling in chest , stabbing pains as if my period wants to start , aching back and shoulders , mind due I am a hairdresser and this could be respective strain from years of work and now for the cherry on top , a migraine . I even called a paramedic last week because of the chest pain and saw my doctor , but they’ve reassured me that I am completely fit . So why am I feeling this ill ? Is it all in my mind ? My husband has told me it is and that I have to believe the professionals . I think he’s getting seriously fed up with me and my whinging . Also , another recent symptom of a sensation that I’m going to pass out that came up through my legs even though I was sitting down . All this is frightening the life out of me . I really don’t think I can cope with this much longer and thinking maybe my husband and daughter would be better if I wasn’t living with them anymore . I am at a really low ebb . Please help .

    Well I spent most of Saturday in bed with a migraine and aching all over . I had a major panic attack in the night as my chest and back were still aching , convincing myself it has to be my heart even though I’ve been given the all clear . Anyway now my period is starting finally and I’ve caught a cold off my husband and daughter . All this combined explains why I have been feeling so rough . ☹️

      Awww! Jane, rest up!  Our immune systems are so fragile now.  I got strep throat last month...never had it before...nobody in the house had it.  Take good care  🙏🤗
