    Catherine what kind of feelings are you getting in your head? I have major “head” symptoms. As a matter of fact that’s my BIGGEST gripe with peri. 

    It’s not always a headache though. Many times it’s just a “fuzzy/crawly” feeling in the back of my head, it’s hard to describe. Sometimes just like pressure but not “actually” pressure. It’s soooooo weird. 

    Last year when it started I was sure I had brain cancer or a tumor or something. The health anxiety that goes along with any single little weird feeling is absolutely horrifying, I hate it. 

    Today my issue is the “weird head”. Yesterday and the three days before that it was an actual headache, along with random chest tightness/fullness. 

    Some legs pains and stuff like that too.

    This was all at the end (last two days or so) of my period. 

    It seems like there’s only like two weeks IF THAT of the month that I feel “good”. 

    I feel your pain believe me.

    Hi Catherine... The headaches and sensations are awful and can be scary... Changes in sinus during the change can also do the same...leaving pain in ears and junk in your throat. I suffered with awful headaches which began 3 years ago but they have subsided with time... I thought I was having a brain tumor at one point and gp was not much help.. but thank god they eased... I still get them but not as much... Drink plenty...keep hydrated. You are not alone with these symptoms ... CK

    I can totally relate. Insomnia, palpitations, waves of nausea, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches and health anxiety that makes me feel like every twitch and tingle I am dying of some terrible illness. I'm 46 and entered perimenopause about 2 years ago when I was also diagnosed with a low thyroid ( I've heard that having both at the same time is common). I try to distract myself and not think about things but it's really hard.... I hope I can feel normal again one day 😔

    I can relate for sure!

    My nightmare with meno started a year ago at 42. I was suicidal and I had too severe symptoms with almost regular periods!

    The only thing that helped me almost immediately was the hormones. I felt like my old self again!

    I think that I will stay on hrt for life. Our body cannot survive without our estrogen, the Mother Nature simply doesn’t need us anymore when we lose our fertility.

    The more I read about meno and health problems due to the lack of our hormones the more I strongly believe that we just cannot live without it!!! smile
