Helo girls does anyone suffer from tingling lower leg and numb feet that comes and goes? This also happens in wrist and fingers - beginning to bother me.

    Hi Sophie. Pins and needles extremely common in peri/menopause. It's always worth checking it out with your doc, of course. If you type '34 most common menopause symptoms' into google, you should find a medical website that lists them, and you'll be surprised what's on it! x

      Do you have an understanding partner, or kind friends that you can talk to without them getting fed up with you banging on about it?

      I have a VERY long suffering husband! He's amazing really despite being a total bloke. I just think our male doctors are clueless which really doesn't help

      My hubby keeps me sane. He's a saint! I have 2 regular docs, one female and one male. Believe it or not, it was the male doc that made more sense in these matters and could explain it better, but the lady doc has a lot more empathy, obviously. I hope that the both of us land on the other side of this still in one piece. x

      Hi Sue thank you - my right foot has been going numb on and off today - it's not a good feeling - hate it. Also really boring to be suffering from nearly of all the symptoms meno throws at us - just feeling like life is so unfair at the moment as everyone else around me seems fine unlike us on this forum.  thank you for your comment and for all the comments from everyone else.

      That's another thing; I seem to be the only one in my group of friends of a similar age that's experiencing all this nonsense. Why? If it's hormonal, and every peri/menopausal woman must have hormone issues by the very nature of the thing, then why isn't every woman a complete nutjob like me?

      Because I think certain women are more sensitive to the symptoms it presents - and I think certain people ignore some of the symptoms and pass it off for something else

      Well, I want to jump ship and be in the 'pass it off for something else' club!

      Funnily enough that's what I've been trying to do but when symptoms linger it's hard and then along comes Mr Anxiety.......

      I know what you mean Sue. I almost feel guilty for not wanting to do anything but rest & potter around at home. Trouble is I am ill with a couple of other non peri related illnesses at present, which I think is largely contributing to me extreme fatigue, so won't really know if it's the peri also causing it until I am better with the other health problems. time will tell. I am not lazy either, but the smallest errands out of house or even hoovering exhaust me at present. I suspect it is part peri causing the extreme fatigue as before I got ill with the other problems, I found it hard to get through normal routine of my week at work & keep up with housework!! xxx
