Hi Kim. I have been suffering with awful symptoms for a few years now and I haven't had a period in a year now so I'm pretty sure I have full blown menopause . I cant bare the achy joints and the stiffness when I get up from bed or a chair. The headaches,nausea,dizzy, hot and cold feeling, no energy ,lethargic , memory loss, and not to mention the bloating and weight gain. I want to crawl under a rock and never come out. I started taking all kinds of vitamins and probiotics. Hoping for some relief. I'm so glad I can vent to you ladies who understand what I'm going thru. FYI yes it does feel like I'm dying a slow death.

Hi Deborah,
Yes, when I am late for a period, I have all the period symptoms from the time I should have started to the time I do start bleeding.
If I skip a period altogether, I have all the symptoms except the bleeding.
I get headaches/body aches at period time and mid cycle, so even if I miss the bleed I can still tell where I am that way.
Hope you feel better soon!

Hi There,
yes, i get all the symptoms, painful breasts, horrible cramps, migraines, and feeling yucky and then no period. it sucks. I have been in peri for about 2 years now (i am 46). Today, i have had the worst hot flash/night sweats ever, headache, wrist pain and joint pain and feeling very anxious. i have had hot flashes in the past, but today seems to be the worst i have ever felt. its awful. I have a 10 year old daughter and yesterday i was just crying for no reason. I am due for my period next week, but seem to skip a month or two here or there, so i just never know what i am going to get, i am extremely nauseous now too which sucks.

You are not alone. I could have wrote this and more. I've been sick like this since around that same year but it's progressively gotten worse. I.m only 41. My body feels totally different. And what's even scarier for me now is that I can't stand for long without having tingling and weird feeling. And once I do sit down, I feel really unwell. It's a nightmare I could have never imagined. I have no quality of life now. I have never been suicidal in life until now. I have kids that keep me going. that's it. hugs.

Hi Hayley, welcome!
You are definitely not alone, as you can see by the number of replies on this post!
I am sorry to hear you are feeling so rotten. This is a hard process, no mistake about that.
I can relate to the anxiety, fear, exploding head, brain fog, dizziness... it's never ending it seems.
How old are you? if you don't mind my asking... don't answer if you don't want.
take care, and have a read through some of the posts from those that have made it through a little farther and are feeling less rough...
Take care, and hugs to you,
Sara

I am right there with you!! I live 25 mins from the closest town and i have never had any issues with driving, but 8 years ago when this garbage started i began having panic attacks and high anxiety when it came to driving anywhere! As the years went on its gotten worse and i feel super anxious thinking about going shopping!! i used to enjoy it so much. I literally thought i was going insane until i found out how hormones can change your brain and how you think. I tried antidepressants but they screwed me up even more. I want to say things will get better but this year has by far been the worst year of my life and i feel life i have nothing left to deal with it.

Its terrible!

Brandy, I thought I was the only one suffering from the driving anxiety. Mine started when I was in my early 40's, and I am 53 now. I dread even thinking about driving anywhere. It makes me so anxious and sick even thinking about it. I used to drive everywhere and really enjoyed it. I would drive from state to state and never think anything about it. Now, just thinking about driving down the road puts me into a state of panic. I hate that anyone else is having this problem, but I am also relieved to know that there are others out there that know what I am going through. This forum has been a life saver. One thing for sure is that the symptoms we are having don't last forever. I can gradually start to feel myself getting better. Hopefully, we will all make it through this without going crazy. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I can't wait to reach it.

I thought i was the only person who had the driving thing too. When it first happened i thought i was losing my mind. It made no sense to me and nobody around me really understands it, hell i dont understand it! How can hormones change your brain and the way you think so much...but im praying there is an end in sight soon cause i cant take this anymore. But this forum and meeting women like you is so helpful and i dont feel so alone!
