how can peri make me feel this sick

it started jan 2016 but past 3 months have beem horrible. i wake up at 5am feeling so sick. i am beyond tired everyday all day ( prob cause i dont sleep much ) and my body doesnt feel good. i feel like i am slowly dying and even tho all my tests come back normal ( and i havr had a lot ) that they are missing something thats gonna kill me. my constant upset stomach/trapped air burping/ feeling unsteady when i walk is the worst one, amxiety, feel like i have ongoing flu.

please ease my mind and tell me im not alone. this seriously needs to stop. its putting me into depression

      Hi Maria, I’ve experienced that.  Last year, my doc thought  I was showing symptoms of MS, one of them was that squeezing sensation.  Well, I thought I had what’s called the MS “hug”.  I got brain scan, all clear.  Just crazy hormones, but my anxiety went nuts in the meantime.  😊

      Hi I'm new to this...I'm 51 still have regular periods but they are definitely shorter... maybe 6 months to a year ago I started with bad stomach pain felt like it is burning now every month I get a feeling like I have a fever and complete exhaustion and stomach pain I really thought I was losing my mind. I'm so happy I found this site and realized it's the start of menopause. I do battle anxiety and depression my whole life so I thought it was that acting up, I take meds for that but this definitely is feelings of something different now I know what to tell my doctor since reading all these comments. Thank you everyone

    Today was better only because I took a klonopin to sleep and xanax when I woke at 5:00 a.m. with panic. I don't want to live on drugs, but I feel so much better today. The fatigue makes it so difficult to exercise! I forced myself Saturday and slept just fine. As a mental health counselor, I'm finding it difficult to take my own advice! Thank you for your help!

      Don’t worry about it Jackie ... I’m taking  more pills right now too including Xanax Valium sleeping pills ... whatever it takes to get through this . The days are hard enough as it is so without a good nights sleep I know that I’m screwed. I try to be reserved taking only 1/2 a pill and that seems to work .... hopefully we won’t be like this forever . It’s HELL!

    I've also stopped drinking coffee, and I have begun taking a low dose of Zoloft the past two days, but after I read the information here, it seems the Zoloft may only help minimally.

      Well good luck but if it makes you feel nervous or weird ... try a different medication . My friend was on celexa and liked it . I think some people are super sensitive to AD’s hopefully you’ll have some luck on it

      Yes, Maria...had tachycardia at my yearly visit with my gyno last month. Wake up that way a lot. Hear my heartbeat when laying down, etc. It's VERY unnerving. But crok what I've read it's normal during this time in our lives. 😕

      Why are you taking your heart rate ? Have you been to the drs ? I’d recommend unless you have a condition and your doctor has advised you to do it .... don’t!! 

      This meno can turn your body upside down .. can make you hyper but mostly extremely fatigued . 

      There are many weird symptoms associated with it so try not to hyper focus on your health. The best thing to do .. which I did is get a full check up including all your blood work and if like mine it’s all normal then it’s just meno or Peri .
