    You sound like in all your post that you have Adrenaline problems to me. Adrenaline problems can cause estrogen dominance which can lead to all kinds of problems! Stress decreases progesterone by increasing adrenaline which demands more progesterone so there is not enough progesterone left to counter balance your estrogen. This can make estrogen dominance worse and increase your menopausal symptoms significantly. All of this can also cause horrible anxiety.

    Hi Christina,

    Some details from a Day 8 journal entry I made almost 3 yrs ago...

    internal tremoring in uterus/ovaries area.

    huge sore boobs.

    sinuses a mess.

    back and hips achey.

    dizzy

    nauseous

    so tense i can't think straight

    I was so fed up I started trying everything...

    Some things that have worked for me in my high estrogen times...

    Taking b complex, vitamin e, and good quality omega 3's. And magnesium. Had to take these daily.

    Taking half a dose of benadryl (an allergy med) every 6 hours during ovulation and pms times.

    I don't know why that worked for me, but i know if I slacked off doing those things, i would feel worse again after a few days.

      may i ask what the half a Benadryl helped ? was it to help anxiety or another symptom?

      It helped the sinus issues and the anxiety. Didn't remove the anxiety completely, but took it down to a bearable level.

    Hello...yes i do! About three years ago i started feeling worse as my period continued and well into after it ended. I couldnt figure out why i was feeling even worse than i had at the beginning of my period..,.i tell a dr and they just look at me like im insane and try to say its not related to hormones....the hell it isnt!! Since puberty i had never felt that way on or after my period even when i was having a stressful low time in my life. And yes the anxiety is totally nuts!! I feel like im crawling out of my skin almost on a daily basis now

    Unfortunately I totally relate. I don't understand WHY we are all suddenly so sensitive to the ups and downs of the cycle.2.5 years ago my cycle shortened to 21 days. PMS has progressively gotten worse (never had it before) and around the time I should be ovulating I wish I could vacate my body. I suspect that we are having anovulatory cycles, maybe our bodies are pumping out extra hormones trying to get the last eggs out?

    I don't know but at this point I feel ok about 3-5 days a month, mainly around day 2 after period started until about day 7. Then it starts again. It's like a horror movie version of Groundhog Day 😃 So over it, wishing us all relief.
