Perimenopause hell
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have been going through three years of continual hell. You get over one symptom and the next comes. I started with constant heart issues and many trips in the ambulance with palpitations and slow and rapid heart rate. Nothing could be found that is concrete but left me with huge anxiety and panic attacks. Reflux started to the point I was burning alive, taking omeprazole for that. My calves go through hell and it cycles. My bladder was having terrible pain and symptoms like UTI so I was put on pessaries and thank God it calmed down but if I miss one, bang is back. The headaches cycle and I want to tear my head from my shoulders the pain is horrible. I can't have sex because it burns me alive inside. Nausea comes on in waves. My anger levels are through the roof and I can't handle any stress because my body starts shaking. And recently my favourite....... air hunger. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I now don't sleep. My blood pressure is severely low at night, my iron levels are that poor I'm on shots. I wake up gasping constantly, I average three hours sleep a night if I'm lucky. I'm losing my mind...... I'm also on the birth control but nothing is helping. I seriously want to put a bullet to my head some days and have it all stop. Is there any hope out there? Anything that worked and helped you? thanks

Sending prayers for healing and strength your way. 🙏❤️

Hey Sally..
Thanks for posting the brutally honest truth about perimenopause. There are sooo... MANY undocumented symptoms, that we experience. Doctors and the medical society are somewhat aloof to this part of our lives. From my experience, ALL of the meno trios have been horrific for me. I am post-menopausal, and when my menses ceased, my symptoms got WORSE! I have been going the ALL-NATUREL route since the inception of my menopausal journey to combat the symptoms. I take the following frequently:
Two Multi-vitamins
Two Vitamin D capsules
One Vitamin B Complex Veggie Capsule
Three Vitamin C Capsules
Two Turmeric Curcumin with bioperine capsules
Two Nutri-Calm Tablets
Two Female Comfort Tablets
Two Flax Seed Oil Supplements
I know my list seems very extreme, yet menopause is extreme and relentless. That being said, it PUSHES through all of that. It is a friggin tsunami, to say the least! Please do the things that make you happy, and bring some sense of normalcy to your life. One of my friend's mother said MENOPAUSE goes to the grave with us womenfolk! Lord, help us all!
