i feel like im dying

hi viola. i hope you are feeling better. how did the dr appt go?

Let us know how you got on Viola, those feelings are so scary aren't they, I wake up in the middle of the night with feelings of dread. I have also had so many pains in my stomach, had various tests with nothing found other than some polyps which apparently wouldn't cause the pains I get. I make myself worse by worrying there is something that has been missed. I can totally empathise with you on the job front. I wake up early so it feels like I am having a lie in, just to try and motivate myself to get up..I know I must try and motivate myself to get out of the house, but my head tells me to hide away, which I know is not good. You are not alone, sending lots of hugs xx

I feel everything you are feeling. I went to a holistic chiropractor and he told me that our gut is like our second brain. He said that if your gut is not healthy your brain is not healthy and will cause anxiety and emotional issues. He told me to start taking a pro-biotic and drink keifer and that would start making my gut healthier. I have to say that it really has helped, that and with alot of prayer. Mornings are dreadful for me

Yes I totally get the gut and brain link, makes sense. Thanks for the kefir drink tip, I had to look it up as I hadn't heard of it, I will be trying some this weekend. xx

my sex like is also greatly affected...most times I swear I'm running out of breath!!!!nothing is easy anymore.....is it the same with you all??

Hi chr2015!! how are you feeling?

quick question, instead of hot flashes do you get the chills? it's been a week now I cant get warm!!! its crazy!

i am exactly the same with the chills. i would be very interested to know if this is something others suffer from. I am currently under going yet more blood tests and worried by the numerous symptoms i have. i feel so rubbish all the time.

it freaks me out every time, thinking I'm getting the flu!! no fever, just cant get warm! what other symptoms you experiencing? I've been going through this for 10 years!! its a nightmare. .Health anxiety is the worst..this past week with the corona virus, I'm so scared!! I keep taking my temp everyday!!! I'm trying not to leave the house and I think it makes the meno symptoms worst!!!

i have so many, they seem to come in episodes, fatigue, muscles tender, muscle twitches, nausea, the chills (struggle to get warm) feel like they move through my body like waves, palpatations and fluttering in throat, reflux, anxiety (especially health anxiety). i have had numerous bloods, chest xray last week, had more extensive bloods today. im worried i have something serious. i also have Gilberts Syndrome which is another condition doctors repeatedly tell me has no symptoms. i too have been going through this for the past 9-10 years. ive tried HRT briefly and the lady magnet but didnt help. i really do drive myself crazy, its at the forefront of my mind always.

The more you get your feelings out, the better you will feel. Talk to anyone who will listen, have everything you mentioned above. I've done a lot of praying and handing all my issues to GOD, since i can go at it alone. I've also had many tests done and feel like they are missing something, but I can't live my life worrying about something that hasn't happened. Take some deep breaths, talk to a therapist, tell your Dr. maybe an anti-depressant, or an anti anxiety medicine will help you and take for a little while. I'm here if you need some reassurance.

absoulutly perfect advice!

thank you for your message. i have spoken to my drs many times but feel like they may think im some hypochondriac. i try to push it to the back of my mind but some days just getting up for work is a struggle.

Viola, do you experience those chills Steph and I experiencing? it's been 5 days, I leave in Florida the weather is in the 80's and I'm seating in my house dressed like its below zero!

I pray and talk to God also..I'm extreme stressed right now with this virus special with my husband getting it, he just had 3 stents put in his artery..and my son that went through chemo and leaves in another state, don't want him to get sick! and going through the daily hormonal nightmare doesn't help at all..

Hi yes, i have gotten chills, I also have a son who has had cancer and has gone through several treatments. We can only hope and pray that they don't get a virus, but worrying about something that hasn't happened isn't helping you. I changed Dr's when I wasn't happy and found a gyno Dr. who specialized in hormonal problems. I found that a lot of praying and truly having faith that everything will be okay helped me. I also had to see a therapist and started taking a anti-depressant at night. I know it's a lot, but sometimes you have to go overboard on treatment and therapy to feel better. Try not to worry we imagine the worse but think it hasn't happened. Go on a walk, meditate and pray, it's beautiful in Florida. I live in Colorado, so the walking option doesn't work for me . I'm here for you

prayers for you and your family

thank you so much!

A whole week of these crazy chills and the reason appeared early this morning ! I got my period again..it stopped back in August and after 7 months I got it 3 weeks ago and now again..

it just doesn't stop! I'm going to start walking again, I stopped back in December...and I'm going back doing yoga it really helped..

I never use to worry about things and going through the change I cant find peace..

Hi Viola,

I'm so anxious the last week with this virus..how you cope with this?

i am scared for my kids, and the future. I have interstitial cystitis...aka bladder pain, so between menopause anxiety, the pain...Im losing my mind

All you can do is practice the social distancing and keeping your hands washed and sanitized. I don't think it's realistic to stop our lives, and we need to keep doing what we need to do, like going to buy groceries, go to work, or put gas, etc. etc. Remember try not to worry about stuff that hasn't happened, we ourselves imagine the worse and mostly we invent these catastrophic things in our mind. I know this virus has affected all our lives, but we need to keep living. You have to tell yourself that everything is okay worrying doesn't help and it doesn't solve anything. Trust in GOD if you believe in him and tell yourself over and over everything is going to be OKAY!!!! Here for you if you need to talk!!!

thank you so much!!! I find such a comfort reading your message..I woke up my 3 year old grand daughter called me and hearing her say I miss you gramma it make me cry so much afterwards.. and the more stressed I get the worst this crazy symptoms get!

Thank you so much again for you encouraging words xoxo

I'm glad that I can give you comfort. Take some deep breaths and try to relax, take a hot bath, call someone to talk. I'm here for you.
