I hope to find a chat/email buddy or two to chat about this crap.  It’s really ridiculous how many symptoms we can have.  I found over 60 pm related aches pains etc related to these hormones.  Goodness,  no wonder we think we are going crazy.!!

    Your not alone I've been through the ringer more times then I can count and it never ends. I've become a hyperchondriac over all this and never in my life was I like that.

      I have ran to the Dr more times then I can count heart Dr,my Dr numerous times just had a colonoscopy week ago and had my annual today. I'm constantly scared out my mind with all this stuff. My Dr seems to think everything is anxiety when I know it's not this stuff is causing anxiety not the other way around. I've had every symptom on the list and then some that they don't even mention. I know I should stop worrying and just go with all these changes but it's not easy these changes is very severe for me and I can't just ignore them or write everything off as part of Peri I have to make sure. Cause not everything can or always will be Peri I use to be so laid back and enjoy life and not have anxiety or panic attacks this part of life hit me like a ton of bricks out of nowhere no warning nothing.

      All I can say is I am so glad I’m not the only one!  It’s a daily struggle to get my mind off of it

      Hi Pamela, same here sad  I am always at my GP. I hate this, my GP says it is anxiety related. I agree i am anxious but, anxious because of all these strange things happening to me causing me pain etc. I find my self saying sorry its me again to my Gp each time i go. I cannot help it i try and ignore all these aches, pains, nausea and feeling generally unwell. I am 47 and been like this 2 years. I still have regular periods, i say regular but, my last one was 27 days long and the longest i have gone in between is 47 days so not really missed any. I dread to think how i will be when i miss completely. x

    Hi..m

    I'm 42 and going through exact same as you. It's horrible.

    I'll happily be an email buddy. Chatting about these symptoms is comforting and reassuring.
