Pressure in between eyes that makes my feel my eyes might cross. Headaches . Wierd pains in head . Left leg on outer side hurting like muscle pain especially when I'm asleep . Low grade fever . Uti. Right breast pain doctor found lump turned out to be hormones . Muscle pain in neck and back of my head thst became so bad that I had to go to emergency room.

    I have all this except for the hot flashes and night sweats. I do get very very hot and then my feet get hot. I get night sweats when I do get a period. All the rest, I certainly got it. The headaches and vision changes scare me and the weird head feelings. The pressure feeling my head is blowing up like a balloon.

      HI Jamie, I get the vision change and head pressure as well. I just call it hormone head. Lol! It helps to just think oh it's hormones acting up again. Before I knew that it was hormones it was really scary though. Praying for all of us daily...we will get through this! Take care!

      Hey Becky,

      It used to scare me so bad that I would go to the ER several times a week. It got so bad that I would drive to the ER and and sit in the parking lot waiting for something to happen so I could run in because I was convinced that something was terribly wrong with me and the doctors just wasn't finding it. Now that I know it's hormones, it doesn't make it any better, but it makes it a little easier to deal with.

      The flu feeling is by far the worse symptom for me. I think the fluctuating hormones brings up old dormant viruses. I was just tested for EBV and found it is reactivated.

      I had bad mono when I was a teen. Ten days isn't too long, maybe you just have a touch of something. I got hit with this last August. Unrelenting. If it keeps going on with you, have your levels tested for reactivated infection. You might want to check your ferritin and D levels as well.

      Yeah I was 21 and then I got a diagnosis of CFS afterwards. I hope it is just a virus and not EBV reactivated. It did a few years ago and went on for  months. My Vitamin D was low two years ago and now it is high normal and my Ferritin is high normal as well. Thanks xx

      So true Mary. I've always had stomach issues and got an anal fissure three years ago. Suffered from panic attacks in my 20's bought on by stress. Since menopause, stomach issues and anal fissure are back. I really have to watch what I eat. I don't have panic attacks but I do have doom and gloom thoughts sometimes. Sorry TMI on the fissure thing. smile

    Wow!

    I have so many of these symptoms. I developed ringing/roaring in right ear & hearing loss in right ear. Sensitivity to sound. Clearing my throat a lot. Difficulty swallowing. Feels like there is a lump in my throat. Bad anxiety, panic attacks, crying spells, insomnia, hot and cold flashes, hair loss, adult acne worse than anything I had as a teenager. PMS after my period instead of before my period. Pain in breast, stabbing pain in breasts, bowel troubles... I could go on but won't.

    It helps to know that it isn't just me.

      Hi There... OMG..i am wondering if this ringing in my ears is due to hormones also??? I am glad i am not alone!!! mine is 24/7, at times worse then others.  I wasnt sure if it came on from chiropractor visit though, as i went and immediately had ringing.  or is it just coincidental? also have sensitivity to sound! and bad anxiety...sad my God, i hope that we get through this a bit smoother.  Its a nightmare some days! please let me know if your ringing is constant? thank you! stay well. smile

      Hello.

      Yep. The ringing or roaring is constant. Sometimes it is better but still there. Other times it is very loud & annoying. I am sensitive to sound now and wear half a cotton ball in my right ear to block out sound. Sound does seem to make it worse.

      I'm going to an acupuncturist today for help with anxiety, panic attacks, weepiness, sleep difficulties, night sweats, throat clearing, ear problems and all these other enjoyable peri/ menopause gifts.

      Stay well. Hope you are better soon.
