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

    Yes it's truly horrible for some of us. I live in fear of the flooding/bleeding coming back. It seems like a terrible curse the whole reproductive system, like God could have designed something much better! Very unhealthy what we have to go through. I get really angry and frustrated sometimes. No wonder people get hysterectomy. Stupid uterus and ovaries. Really it is all the ovaries that cause the problems. They produce the estrogen or lack of it. I hate being a woman sometimes. The men have it so easy.

      Uuuugghh I remember those days, the crime scene periods.  I would get all sweaty and clammy and the whoooosh there it goes that was terrifying I ruined many sheets and pairs of pants around that time.  I hope that never comes back!  Ovaries suck.

      Right !!! It’s like we have these amazing bodies and minds that can conquer and do so much but a few hormones go missing and we’re just left like this ! The subject is taboo and there really should be so much money spent researching... imagine if somebody found a cure ... how much money they would make ? I guess it just shows you that nobody can figure it out !!! Not even scientists and physicians !

      that's what I thought for years. men have it made. especially the bald ones. I've always said in my next life I want to be a bald man.

      What if you get a small penis?

      That would be worse than this pause we're going through.

      Like you stated this is a women's thing. They don't give a flying fly about our feelings.

      If their penis was itching, numb and bleeding they would find a cure.

      With us they could only guess. I will not partake in their meds.

      Girl, I got so tired of flooding. I woke up the next day, no I didn't sleep I was up every 5 man changing my pads.

      So frustrated, I stood up started to cry to God that I could not take it anymore the bleeding was so bad I was ready to die. The Most High has a since of humor and took it away.

      If they put at least half of the effort, research and money as they did developing viagra and how to help men keep their erections we would probably have something that works for our hormone and menopause problems by now.

      Funny but true. Or if all vaginas shut down due to the possibility of menopause, there diffently be a fast curse with symptoms

      He smiles because he don't know what to say. How can he say it's almost over when he don't know how to treat it?

    Ya'll are all so funny, I kept laughing at some of the man comments 😁

    Well...getting everything removed is major surgury with 6 month recovery period, chance of infection, and instant menopause. Many women I have met who had hysterectomy forced upon them wished they hadn't! The bottom line is that billions of ladies go thru this and survive. No drugs no surgury no HRT etc. I don't think there's any quick or easy fix. The HRT is going to be the main treatment and it works for some not all and is not without risks too. I'm going to cold turkey thru this. It's been hard core and I mean life sucks don't know if you'll survive hard core! But... it's just the way it is. 😕

    Yes I have an odd thing that will happen sometimes where as I'm trying to get to sleep I will repeatedly startle and gasp for breath every time I start to drop off to sleep. It feels like the body is forgetting to breathe right? But for me this can go on for hours. It is very uncomfortable and sometimes I'll have it 3 days in a row then not for 6 months! Weird. I hate it. It's hard to describe bUT I've met a few others who also had it. No clue what causes it

      Hi Carlycat,  This was happening to me.  I believe their called hypnotic jerks.  Basically, right when I would drift off, I would get stunned ( like when you dream about falling).

      Thank you so much for answering. I thought I was dying slowly. It's good to know that I'm not alone.

      I get them too when I’m just drifting off it feels like brain zaps.  I’m not on any meds either so it shakes me up and then takes me a lot of time to get back to sleep.

      The fact that we know that we’re not alone during all of this is a big relief ... it’s an awful time and nobody would ever understand what we’re going through unless they were themselves !

      You're so right lori93950. I'm glad I stumbled across this site. I thought with this horrific symptoms I was slowly dying.

      As I type this message I got dizzy for a moment.

      Same here,  Marjorie!!!  My mom was on hrt for 20 years so never experienced this... my older sister drank ALOT and probably didn't know she was even going through menopause .. same with my middle sister.. except she was on birth control too ... so I wasn't told anything about what to expect.. so it's not easy talking with them (I really only talk with my mom about it)   I was terrified when this all started... soooo thankful I found this forum and you lovely ladies... it has truly helped!! Take care!! 🙏💕
