menopause hell

Hi hun

Yes I get it. Ive been in perimenopause eight years. No hysterectomy though.

Ive worn out my doctors office. Just feel so ill. Over the years ive had anxiety depression palpitations gerd joint pain fatigue breathlessness and the lost goes on. Its really hard to live with some days but the ladies in this forum are just great. Im 48 now and the symptoms just seem to get worse. I cry most days im so tired. Am on iron due to being aneamic through heavy periods which are all over the place.

Hang on in there. Take care x

Have you had a B12 blood test? Your symptoms are similar to b12 deficiency. Take a look on the net and see if you agree. Unfortunately b12 thyroid and many other things have overlap symptoms. 

I went through years of similar, they now know im b12 deficient but may also have oestrogen problems.

Sorry you are going through this. I feel the same as you i am 47 in menoapause. Having trouble sleeping, feeling depressed moody at times, just not myself then my two feet hurt my bad foot which is the left foot has a plate eight screws and a pin, the ball of the foot on that foot hurts and is inflamed then my right foot has a heal spur can hardly walk stand i feel agitated at night to where i have to take several baths to help me relax 

Don't know what to do about it any more just want to cry

i to have been going through menopause mood swings aches in my shoulder and joints feeling spaced at times can't sleep up til 3 and 4 am it's horrible always feeling like something is going to happen i was just saying on another forum it's crazy what we as women go through

I feel for you.  I am hoping that by receiving support in this forum you will not feel you are alone.  I am wondering if there are perhaps some unacknowleged feelings of loss since having your hysterectomy removed.  This is something my friend expereinced and it took some time to come to terms with for her.

I have been perimenopausal for a few years now and I despair as I no longer recognise myself.  I cry - a lot - but don't feel low in mood.  I have poor concentration and memory and my weight gain around the middle is awful.  I often feel anxious but cannot say why and experience the same symptoms you have described.  Reading everyone else's entries I don't feel so abnormal.

 

I had 1 tube & 1 ovary removed around 20 years ago and suffered with anxiety but I now am beginning to think it's to do with that! I haven't had a period for 14 months and have had about 60 of the 66 symptoms 😞 I feel so tired and low just want to cry 😥

Your not imagining this, it stinks. I went theiugh years of this and men say its mental but women understand. Changes do happen. They just do ieas healhy before and as i went theiugh peri menapause to menapause i feel apart. So many ailments and got some genetic xanthelesma latge tellow plaques on my eyelids as a result of all these changes. Apparently your ldl goes up and i guess mine went up too up. I believe it balances over time but expect the unexpected and many aches, pains and feeling weird. It would be nice if none of this happened but for some it just dos. I dont honestly know anyone who feels great, some, very few have these really great outlooks on life and are happier then others but no ine really escapes all these changes.

oh my gosh your not alone at all i suffer daily with anxiety my shoulder aches like the dikens my elbows i don't feel normal at times feels like i am just an alien lol but some days i feel better than others i cry i stay in bed i just want to scream at times thank god for this site the help from each other eases me does anyone else have the aching shoulders lord i tell you
