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

    You are not alone! I have been in meno since 2016 im 49 and this last year has been terrible..all symptoms have increase in intensity..i  feel crappy most of the time, tired, anxiety, worried, sweaty, sick, scared i just dont feel normal at all...going to see a holistic doc, wish i had done that earlier, and a gyno that specializes in meno. I know that i should be eating differently, exercise, and some type of meditation..gotta get my s**t together! Im here if you need to talk..you are not alone i promise!

    I think we should write a book! I had to read literally over 80 websites to compile ALL the information I now know about how exactly the hormones work, the ovaries, estrogen dominance and symptoms, heavy periods, and how early the symptoms really start. A book needs to be written (and an in depth website) to console women that they are not alone, that they are not crazy, and that they will not die, but that yes they will probably suffer. And I think it should be called Everything They Never Told You About Menopause. .... lol

    Or. ...Menopause For Dummies

    Hahaha

    That is a common title here in the US, for any kind of instruction book. ..

    " ____________ For Dummies" 😄

      Great idea ! There needs to be more light on this subject I never knew it could be so bad .. and I’m a big researcher . If I’d known the terror of all this I would have learned many years ago on how to deal with it .

      Agreed! Ladies, we are writing a book! If only we got paid for this. Today is one of those days where Menopause is hitting me hard. Lucky me, TGIF I'm ready for bed. redface

      Please write that book young lady!! I’m suffering like so many of you women with a lot of these symptoms, not realizing that they’re part of menopause until I started reading all of your post!!! Thank you for sharing! It helps to know I’m not crazy and going through this alone!!!

    So today it’s a tight band of tension all around my head, feeling just crappy and exhausted but with that feeling anxiety.  It’s like my body isn’t  copacetic with itself ever.  I am still beguiled that these hormones can cause all of this stuff.

      Biggest fight of my life as well Lori, biggest one.

      Every morning im hoping im getting away from this hell, but nope.

      I have the lowest weirdest darkest mood at times,hours and hours.. i cant really explain it or get away from it.

      Its like living in a inner nightmare and trying to be normal when there is nothing normal about this. Nothing.

      And i wanted to add:

      the way that I guauge just how bad it is that ive gotten is when i have moments of clarity, a few moments in the day, and if it lasts long enough then i can actually reflect and say to myself

      "Holy crap, you have strayed so far from where you used to be..wow you are in a bad place".  thats how i know that im pretty in deep in this meno mess.

      That is the best description I have heard... the body isn't copacetic with itself ever.

      Hope you're doing well these days!

    Ladies i feel your pain! I'm just recovering from 3 days of constant migraine, stomach pains and joint pains.... spent most of the time in bed. Read that cutting back on sugar, caffeine, carbs and processed foods can prevent inflamation, but that's really hard when I'm craaaaving cake and chocolate 🍫🍰

    I've felt so awful this week that I've put an HRT patch on (was prescribed them by GP but wanted to hold off as long as possible) the depression and irritablity, as well as constant pain this week, have made me feel I've no choice.

    I've had stomach and bowel exploratory tests and they've thankfully come back clear, though the pain I've been in I was convinced something was seriously wrong (that's why I googled "menopause feel like I'm dying" and thank God found this blog!) Pelvic scans were clear apart from a small cyst on my right ovary.

    I'm thinking of starting a local menopause support group.

    Does anyone know of any existing groups??

    Blessings of courage and God's healing to all 🕊🌼

      I didn’t want to go on the HRT patch either but was so desperate I had to . It takes a while to kick in I’ve read . Like you I’ve been on and off the bed all day extreme fatigue and legs just won’t move so achy and tired . 

      There’s not enough support for us in this big wide world .... they’re should be a clinic on every corner for women going through this.

      Trying to find out if here’s something really wrong or is it just menopause takes so much time and money .... sick of it !!!

    OMG!!! Kim, I totally feel your pain! My symptoms started 2-3 months ago but all of them kicked in at once 2 weeks ago and I think I’m gonna die!!!!! My internal thermostat is broke!!! Hot then flipping freezing then sweating!!! Can’t sleep, walk, talk, think, have sex!! No problem with crying, whining, burping or farting!!! My heart beats out of my chest at times.  This is so scary. I started on hormone replacement therapy 2 days ago. Just dieing inside. My poor husband. I’m a newlywed btw at 53😥
