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 all the same feelings and more. the trapped air is so madning. an i have chest pain on my right side when i take a deep breath feels oddly enough like i have trapped food. no doctor cares they just want to give ya a pill an st ya up. i dont do pills so i dont st up either. the anxiety is off the chain. i have always struggled with it but now health anxiety has been added to my " normal " anxiety. its so frustrating and so tiring feeling sick ALL THE TIME. i sure hope it gets better.... soon.

I feel like I am slowly dying as well and I am two years post menopause. My upper body just aches constantly and it is very tiring. The last few months my sleep has not been good and I don't wake up refresh. Recently my chest started feeling uncomfortable but ECG is fine. Had a physical in late January this year and tests were normal. I'm always so scared that the doctors are missing something but it is so hard to describe to the doctors how I am feeling. The pandemic isn't helping as well. Sorry for sounding like such a wet blanket but some days, like today, I am just tired of trying to be cheerful and positive.

I I can't believe I just stumbled on this forum after praying to God for some answers. I have all of these problems and feel like my body is falling apart and my brain is going to explode. my blood tests are always normal and the doctors can't seem to help me. I am very hesitant to take the medication especially since I have to take gabapentin and tramadol for recent development of peripheral neuropathy. I know God is good and he has good plans for me and I have a wonderful loving and supportive family so there is much hope for us all. This is amazing we can come together like this and encourage each other. I also hope we can find answers to our much needed life saving help .

I will give my input here. I am sorry so many are suffering. I am 40. I don't know if I am in perimenopause or just not well but I do have one ovary removed and no thyroid. I noticed very specific pattern of symptoms around my period. Some symptoms though are very random. Anxiety is awful! Health anxiety is bad. I get nausea, randomly and it lasts sometimes days, sometimes weeks. I get almost all described above. I just posted about the new symptoms- heavy, full ears, throat feels weird- scratchy, raw in a way, also tight. My eyes are a mess. I have always had floaters but now they are too many. Light sensitivity and although I seem to be seeing okay the image is always somewhat through a film:( Today, I felt like I can't take it much longer- the worry, the exhaustion, the discomfort! 😦 Somehow, without knowing for sure what is happening I found your posts helpful. I though maybe, just maybe it might be perimenopause and maybe it will be okay one day. Maybe:(

Menopause is like truth serum. I hate my husband and all the s****y things he did/does that I could swallow before. Now the anger is like a nuclear
bomb. 2 years ago I developed Interstitial Cystitis and had a nervous breakdown, I feel partly because my cheating drinking husband did. I should have left in 2013 when I caught him but stayed for the kids. Now I cant suck it up anymore even though he stopped drinking. I still will never trust him and I have one more child at home. I literally hate him without the buffer of hormones.

Hi Kim and Everyone!
I don't feel good... ever any more. I think I have every symptom mentioned by all of the posts I've read, It's so disruptive on a daily basis and very physically and mentally taxing. My doc thinks it's anxiety and panic disorder as well and I have a low dose anxiety med I can take... but I HATE taking pills. For me, the WORST is the headaches and numbness/fogginess and the chest pains. I feel like my heart is turning on me and that is an awful feeling. I am afraid to do anything b/c I feel like a heart attack is coming on and the pain intensifies - heading to a Cardiologist next week to check it out (although I have had every test imaginable and they are clear). I did hear of menopausal women getting something called MicroVascular Angina AKA Cardiac Symdrome X and that may be my issue due to the drastic drop in oestrogen. I am so sorry we all have to go through this but glad I found this forum! May God bless us and have mercy on us all. Staying in prayer!

I stumbled across this sight and I am glad I did. Menopause is TERRIBLE!
I am on HRT, but seems to be not working any longer. I am 53 and had a radical Hysterectomy 5 years ago because of pain, bleeding, cyst., etc and just recently started having ANXIETY , heart racing, hot flushes, insomnia, headaches, different pains in different areas of my body. Sleepless nights. You name it and I have had it. I am thinking of slowly getting off the Estradiol 1mg and taking something natural. Since I feel like the med is not helping and I have heard it is not safe to take HRT for a long period of time. The doctor prescribed an antidepressant, but really don't want to go down that road!Any help would be much appreciated! God Bless

Hi everyone does anyone else suffer from lightheaded and as if your not yourself anymore. One minute I'm fine and the next I feel as if my vision is going and I'm going to pass out. The anxiety attacks are terrible all I ever want is to be on my own yet that makes my mind work overtime. I spend most of my nights or days off work go ogling symptoms. If I go for a walk I need to make sure I'm near a toilet as my bowels seem to hate me... Ive not had a period in over a year yet the symptoms seem to be getting worse. I honestly hate being like this everything gets on my nerves. I dread finishing work as my daughter will be full of life and want to talk to me when I walk in... I know I'm being so selfish but I just can't cope When I'm in work I want to be home in my safe bubble please someone tell me this will get better I honestly do not live my life I'm just existing. I used to be the life and soul of the party and now I have nothing.... Please I'm not looking for abuse just some friendly advice xx

Yes, I've had these episodes & just recently again after months of them going away & not being an issue. It's not lost on me that i didn't have a period for cycles and then just had a very light one on Sept 1 (for 4 days) and now just got another one 6 days ago. Not a terrible one, but a long one it seems it's not really leaving me! Since September hit (& a couple of weeks before) I've started feeling a lot of my old nasty symptoms: that instant flash of "oh no!" feeling where I feel like I'm going to check out. It's a very quick out of body feeling and I'm fine moments before. It can happen when I'm driving so I'm always hyper alert when it comes on, ready to pull over or hit the brake. I've also had a quite a few feeling "off" moments with flashy vertigo feelings over the past couple of days too. Must be a hormone issue given my weird couple of periods lately after months of nothing. Lots of my old issues also amplified, whooshing pulse in left ear, left rib and incredible mid-back pain, left foot arch/outside bone pain with deep itch inside (!weird), and digestive issues. Also had a ripping migraine yesterday to seal the deal that the B is back! 😉 I popped back on tonight to glean some support from the written words of my fellow menopause warriors. It helps to read the similar issues of others and feel not so alone at midnight...
