Peri & Aching

Posted , 6 users are following.

I started experiencing peri symptoms in April 16 after going through a highly stressful time in my last job. Irregular bleeding with only 9 days between, had a uterine biopsy taken which was all OK. Eventually I had to take prozac because of anxiety and panic attacks becoming uncontrollable. I haven't had a period for 2 weeks but I have had really bad aches in my lower back and thighs, before all this started I used to go to fitness classes 3 to 4 times a week, now I can't even go for a walk without the onset of aches. I also get some slight cramping in my uterus

I also get what I describe as 'merry go round' feelings when I wake in the morning which I think are adrenalin surges. I take evening primrose , B6, Magnesium, zinc, agnus castrated & Flax seed oil

I haven't experienced hot flashes but I do sometimes get feelings of hot waves for a few seconds.

Does anyone else get these aches in limbs?

    I am up now because my hands and legs are aching now due to peri and insomnia. My PCP Dr. Put me on 1200mg. Of vitamin D about two weeks ago and it has eased my aches and pain some so I'm guessing the longer I take it the less pain.

      It's so frustrating because one day feel ok then 'bam' aching again. As I am peri I don't know when my next period is as I am so iregular so this could be PMT but who knows. I can't take anymore supplements or change my diet or i'll get vitamin overload. I am waiting for some bioidentical hormone cream too come - so desperate try anything
