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

I have been intermittent fasting since January. I don't eat after 7 pm and I don't eat before 11 am the next day. On good days, I try not to eat after 6 because the earlier I eat the better I do. While I still don't feel 100 percent, I must say that I do feel much better. Most of my symptoms have gone or lessened to the point of just being a mild nuisance. Except the fatigue. It seems to come and go as it pleases and I'm sleeping so hard now it scares me. I wake up with Sahara mouth. At first I dropped 10 pounds almost immediately. Nothing since but I think that's because I've been eating so crappy in the 8 hours that I do eat. I keep thinking if I'd kick it into gear and eat properly I could probably get close to that 100 percent. There is a movie on Netflix. I think it's called Fasting: The Movie. Worth a watch!

I had to laugh out loud about the sahara mouth because I know exactly what you mean.

I'm so glad I found this post. I'm 35 and going through all of this. Basically my body thinks it is in peri state as it is recognising the oestrogen from the pill I've been on as a virus (therefore getting rid of it via my lymph system)so it's not being used to level my hormones and at the same time my body isn't naturally producing more to compensate for this. So say hello to perimenopause symptoms at my age. it is scary and debilitating

Hi Marguerite,
Welcome to this club no one wants to be in!!
Can I ask...how did you figure out the body was flushing the Estrogen via the lymph system?
It makes total sense... just wondering if there is a specific symptom that points to this, or a test that can be run?
I have tried a couple forms of HRT and feel just awful (like I have the flu) after less than 24 hours on. I can't tolerate it, and give it up.
Thanks, and hope you are feeling better!

You are definitely not alone. I haven't been on this forum for a while but I read new comments. Yep, there are crazy feelings and symptoms none of us can explain and often times the doctors can't either. This is a great resource and you will find that many of us identify, in our own way, my way is to complain lol and rant but hey, it gets it out of my system. Welcome to you.

Hang in there. Eat good. Take vitamins. You are not alone! It all sucks but it does get better. My best friend is 60 now. She is past it all. At 54 it feels like forever. but knowing it will end does help.

I was feeling that way for the entire year last year and now it's starting to decline a bit. I had constant anxiety, hot flashes were so bad and all day and night, I felt like I couldn't breathe and I didn't sleep more than 1-2 hours a night. I still get hit with those symptoms only they are not as severe and they come and go, but I never know when they will pop up. It's really awful I know but hang in there because I think it gets better.

I also found out that I had a hiatal hernia which is when your stomach comes up through your diaphram and causes shortness of breath and the feeling like you can't breath or swallow, along with other symptoms like palpitations, acid, GERD, upset stomach, no appetite. Doctors say that a hiatal hernia does not cause symptoms but it does and it can even mimic heart problems. I had to change my diet completely, when I'm under stress I tend to clench my abdominal muscles in and up and i've been doing that for years, didn't help so now I have to unlearn that muscle pattern to try to keep my abdominals relaxed and my hernia down leaving my stomach where it's supposed to be. There is also the vagus nerve which can be aggravated by a hiatal hernia and anxiety and when that nerve is aggravated you can get all kinds of funky symptoms, lots of stuff out there on the vagus nerve too. I have to avoid stress and just make a commitment to not stressing out because once I start, here comes the panic, I try to breathe through my symptoms and say "well, my body going to do what it wants to do because of these hormones" so have at it! It's been a long, long road and still going through it just doing the best I can.
