Peri symptom hell? Vision?

Posted , 6 users are following.

Feel like a drunken sailor.. fishbowl vision, woozy feeling.. off balance,shakes and tremors and sonetimes feel like im gonna jerk or jump out of my skin. Minor palps (skips), sometimes nausea and bloat, bathroom runs.. weak and tired. Anxious but idk if its from symtoms or not. I always think sonething is majorly wrong but then i get my period and most everything fades. Im myself for a week or two. IT starts to go back downhill with ovulation. Anyone else with these symptoms?

    Hi Mary! OMG! YES to all! I am technically supposed to be ovulating right now...but, just started BCP, I am on week 3 and am having horrible symptoms. Worse fatigue, off balance, tingles, anxious, feel like I am going to collapse. I did ok the first 2 weeks...but it totally makes sense that I feel like death now that my body is on something to stop ovulation...hormonal war happening in my body now.

      Lou.. ugh! Its so terrible! Whats Bcp? I Also feel like im gonna collapse. Actualky in my cycle journal, i track my symptoms and say " im collapsable today" lol These days five mins up and walking around and i just want to go fall into bed.. then i can feel weird vibrations and shakes more. lol I work from home so i am able but im definitely not as active as i should be.. and especially during week 3. i really dont know for surely what is going on but know for sure its hormones. MY cycles which were always 26days are now irregular. This new vision thing is rough.. cant work with it and the shakes.. so i have more time to think about it all. grrrr!

      BCP is birth control pill. Started back on them to control these horrible hormonal problems. Was on them since age 20-40. Went off in July of 2017...at 40 and found out I was in peri too. Been awful ever since.

      Cycle anywhere from 21-26-57 days. Cannot stand the off balanced, crazy eyes...I get migraines since peri and I believe that is why I get off balanced. Going to a vertigo specialist in 2 weeks. I am self employed and work from home too...had to stop last year because of the dizziness. So tired today too...walked down and did laundry practically collapsed back in bed to rest. So frustrating, I feel just as lousy as I did last year. sorry you are dealing with this too...hugs to you 😦

      Wow! Twins! Except birth control. i feel the same way today.. really is tough sometimes. Good to know im not crazy but never makes it any easier. Drs have been brushing me off for years since around 37, throwing pills at me for anxiety and for awhile i didnt argue but kept a journal and finally realized, not until the last year or two, that its always around my period.. and then i made a connection. Went to ER Some just crying and panicking, only to be sent home and get my period soon after. LOTS of ah ha! moments.

      Im supposed to get mine today.. just waiting and hoping because even though i know sort of whats happening.. when i get it, i think "oh, thats why im a wreck". and i know i should try to be up and ignore it but easier said then done sometimes. hang in there. Hug.

      thanks Mary...you hang in there too! My body will certainly be confused...the pill I am on produces a period every 3 months...just hope I get some relief with it!
