Just can't take no more
Posted , 20 users are following.
I just don't know how to do any of this no more my whole body feels weird like nothing is functioning properly bp up and down I'm on meds,heart races off and on,I get hot and nauseated then chills,my digestive system is so messed up for awhile now. Bloated, indigestion,gas buildup seems bowels is sluggish. I have dizziness how do we do all this? After my March cycle things just keep getting worse have had labs done I cry everyday scared I'm dying from some horrible disease. I'm so scared of all this it's too many things at once to deal with and it's hard. My face stays flushed like I'm in a boiler burning skin off and on if some of these things would just stop I could deal with all this better. Things started getting worse right before this cycle I just ended and it just doesn't stop. My cycles is all over the map light,heavy, early, late and these symptoms isn't coming and going with cycles seems they staying around for good. I'm really at the end of my rope I'm drowning and nobody is listening my Dr always says anxiety and that is far from the case. My stomach burns when empty I'm so scared can anyone relate to all these things and no break or relief in sight?

I actually have seen a cardiologist who did a stress test, ultrasound of my heart and carotid artery ultrasound (all came back that I was fine)
My BP has gone up and my cholesterol has gone up and since I had the heart palpitations etc, I decided to see the cardiologist. I do feel better after he ran those tests.
I also had a colonoscopy (came back fine) and went to a dermatologist and had moles removed (all benign)
So, yes I thought I had many things wrong with me as well.
Since my periods have stopped, some of the symptoms (such as wobbly legs, weird head, light head, have seem to gone away. )
BUT i still have extreme anxiety and depression which I feel are the worst of all!!

Hi Nanc,
Sorry to hear what you are going though, maybe you can try Estroven, you can find it at the health food store. It do helps with the anxiety and the depression. eats lots of celery and if you can get the seed to make tea it will help with the blood pressure and cholesterol.i'm praying you will feel better soon. try and exercise as much as possible it helps.hugs my dear it will get better.

Hi Pamela,
As the others have said you are not alone we all in this together.
I have woke from my sleep many times thinking i was having a heart attack. and my blood pressure very high. gone to the emergency room many night thought i was dying. i lost the ability to sleep, lost my appetite and in one month i loss 18 lbs.
Pain all over my body, heart racing . i think i had most of the 66 symptoms.But thank God I'm doing much better. My doctor as recommend ESTROVEN that is sold in the health food store and calcium , magnesium an potassium, vitamin E, vitamin D3, vitamin B12.Try and see if they will work for you too. and make sure to get lots of exercise. and remember you are not alone. you are in my prayer and lots of hugs to you my friend.

Hi Pamela.
I to feel at the end of my tether with it all, I had the worst day yesterday and just sobbed and sobbed last night thinking I can't do this anymore. I feel so on my own as have no friends that understand and my partner trys to but I can tell he's fed up with hearing me drone on about how awful it is and work, don't get me started on that as I nearly handed my notice in yesterday as I work in a traffic office full of men how can they understand.
I think mine started 3 years ago but apart from terrible itching it was subtle things then last September I had a very stressful period I lost 3 pets in the space of a year then had to cover at work for over a week and developed acute anxiety as It was so stressful trying to do a 2 persons jobs on my own tbh I don't no how I came out the other side of that very dark 3 months but I did and thought that was it until I started getting other symptoms I had insomnia for months then that settled down then 2 weeks ago had fatigue which never had b4 and just been feeling like on a rollercoaster, I'm still getting anxiety on and off depression that seemed to appear with the fatigue and legs and ankles aching/stiffness and bloating . When it's bad I have no positive outlook whatsoever just negative worrying I'm gonna end up in a psychiatric hospital and jobless on the streets just extreme negative thoughts.

hi sarah
yes working with this is really tough, I personally have battled with a lot of what youve shared, my moods darker and weirder than ever, i get bits of 'normal' here and there but at work its hard because im not as sharp or witih it. i feel very fragile,and people know it, also because ive shared it with them.
i think it can be used against you for sure..women in theri 30's.
i really get what you are dealing with. gut issues, nausea, wt loss, anxiety like flu every morning that i have to physche myself out of that takes hours, days of mostly depression that i hide very well except my kids know..
its a dreaded curse..and lets hope we can just make our way through it.

Hi
Thanks for your kind words, we are supposed to just go with it as it's a natural thing but so many of us ladies are clearly struggling I just can't believe the doctors arnt more sympathetic, well mine arnt but I only get 10 mins with doc so how can you be properly sorted in 10 mins with all these complex symptoms and every one reacts differently to different treatments. I'm still getting regular periods which have changed now slightly but how long until they stop I'm 50 btw.

Yes, the women in their 30's are rockin and rollin mentally and im intimidated. I feel insecure and a little nervous because im the breadwiinner, and its like you can allow your imagination to drum up all sorts of ideas like they want you fired or to try to drive you to quit etc. Not positive thinking.
so your 50, yep i stopped at about 52 1/2 yrs. and will be 54 soon here.
You will probably start to skip them in a year or so, keep going, your doing it, your doing well, we are here for you.
ive said more than once that if it were a mans problem/condition and ill say it again...twould have been solved a long time ago.

Oh, Pamela...hugs through cyberspace! your post is me- I could've written it! It is awful, what we're going through...but that's what I've realized- that we have get through it to the other side! We've all seen women in their 60s and 70s tho are still vibrant and happy...so we know its possible le for us too. And qe dont know what hell they might have gone through. You are so on point with the anxiety and worry about some dread disease...I think that's the worst of it all- the what if!!
All we can do is treat the crazy symptoms as they pop up..remember them when they come round again, and be gentle with yourself. Sending love?

Hi Katy, this is exactly what I'm trying to do. I notice that I'm paying more attention to older women who are enjoying life, who have made it to the other side. That's how I want to be... trying very hard to think of that whenever symptoms are bad. You are right that we must be gentle with ourselves. Take care.

We have many of the same symptoms. It is certainly very troubling! 🌸
