I have written in this forum before and found comfort to know I'm not alone. Im writing again as im so overwhelmed.

My symptoms started a year ago.

My periods though less in intensity are regular.

I have weakness in my fingers and overall. As if there's no strength in them. Jerks in arms and legs. I dropped a cookie I was giving my son today bc of a slight jerk. Twitches all over. And muscle popping. Accompanied with anxiety, depression, upset gastrointestinal system, headaches and internal vibrations. I try to be brave but honestly I feel as if my life is over.

Im a 48 year old single mom with one autistic son, trying to set up a business ,preparing for a tough exam and a part of me now thinks whats the use.

I got a gyne appointment for October. I will get a neuro appointment as well. My vit B and D both are low. Hypothyroid too though the dr didnt start any medication for it. I was only prescribed supplements vit B and D. I was taking magnesium but it made little difference.

I'm just tired of this. of everything. of myself.

    my mom is in postmenopausal period... we used to visit emergency after a each month we face these symptoms.

    in mumma's case this usually starts with feeling cold thn we nausea before leaving home with these symptoms each tym we do bp monitoring. everytime we find that bp shooks up gently to levels like 170/90 from 100/60 .

    during this phase she feels high grade full body tremors with cold chills and nausea.

    we still face such with regular dose for hypertension medicines.

    then we need to visit hospital in emergency...

    but fortunately all heart test angiography echo are normal. even angio of kidneys are also normal.

    but still each month we face such horrible symptons.

    now a days along with these chest pain with left arm numbness are added too.

    i m too upset nd worried about my mumma if somehow these symptoms get settled down kindly mention your fruitful suggestions regarding the same.

    thanks

    mumma is also towards hypothyroidism
