I'm 50 years old and my life has completely changed since 5 months, one night I was sleeping as if an electric current went straight into my body And then my whole body became exhausted and my heart beat very fast. I thought I was going to die and didn't know what happened because for a long time I had never thought about what perimenopause was. I didn't have my period for 5 months and then it came back 2 times but until now. Now it's been 3 months without it. After the terrible night, I had to go to the emergency room because my heart was beating fast, I had difficulty breathing, and I was exhausted every day. After testing, everything was normal, but I was very afraid and didn't know if they were missing anything. At that time, my family doctor transferred me to a gynecologist. During the 1-month waiting period for my appointment, I had to fight every day with a body that no longer had enough energy, I was depressed and exhausted. cry every day, have insomnia at night, every time I have hot flashes my heart beats faster than normal and feel like my blood pressure has dropped, every morning I wake up with no energy in my body, headaches, dizziness , I don't have enough strength to do anything, I'm exhausted and have no energy to take myself out, I don't want to see anyone and want to talk to anyone, finally the day of the appointment with the doctor The doctor also came, I cried a lot to her and begged her to save me. After I had my blood drawn and everything tested, she finally gave me the results: I was in the stage of death. I was in perimenopause and my hormones were too low, I sat there and cried a lot, I felt like I was dying every day with a weak body and no energy left, in the end I was treated with the lowest dose of HRT for 3 months. She said that if I was still not feeling well within three months, she would then increase the dose to a higher dose. Currently, I have been using HRT since January 26, but until now Now I still don't see the results. My family doctor gave me more antidepressants and tranquilizers to help me feel more stable, but I don't dare to take it. I really want to be stronger to overcome it. going through this terrible period but I can't do it, so many bad things keep clinging to me every day, every day. For me, it's like being in a living hell, I find my life deadlocked, tired and very tired, my last hope is that HRT can help me return to normal life, I also don't know when HRT will have results, I thought I was suffering from some incurable disease. I really live in fear and madness, please let me hug you tight so I know I'm not alone.

      This morning in the city of Atlanta, the weather turned cold after a week of warm weather. Before, I was a person who was very afraid of the cold, but now I am very afraid of the heat. Everything has changed who I am in the past 5 months. Before until now, every day I have to go out to the backyard to find and sit there in the cold to make my mind more comfortable, I feel like I'm going crazy, I haven't gone to work in 5 months and my mood is also the same. My health is very bad, this feeling is so terrible, I sit here with a bitter cold and tears keep flowing, I am very grateful to all of you who texted me back and encouraged me to do it. My soul feels very comfortable and warm, please let me hug you all tightly

    Lamanp..

    Your emojis speak volumes, to say the least!! As there are seven days of the week guaranteed, I guarantee, you are NOT alone in this menacing time of our lives! ANY STAGE of menopause is absolutely horrific, to say the least! I am sending you virtual hugs and diamond earrings to make your life somewhat better. Since you are in the perimenopausal stage, I can say that postmenopause (the final stage of menopause) is just around the corner for you, my dear. That said, POSTMENOPAUSE has been my absolute WORST stage of this TSUNAMI! I have been up and down, it has been a rollercoaster of IDK what and why!! Please stay hydrated during ANY stage of menopause. Do what you can to be somewhat functional during these NATURAL stages of our lives! And on that note, be well, my menopausal sistah.

      Hello, I'm sitting here with tears flowing non-stop, I feel so tired and exhausted every day, I've tried my best not to let myself fall but everything is not as I want it to be, every day. day and every day I have to live in fear and think I am going to die, I have endured physical and mental pain for 6 months and until now these horrifying symptoms have not left. Me, I feel like I don't have any energy left to continue fighting it, my life has been buried in a deep hole with no way out, every day I have to endure endless hot flashes. Every time I have hot flashes, my whole body feels like it has low blood pressure and my heart beats very fast. I get headaches and dizziness at any time. Every day I live in fear and panic, not knowing that I have a disease. Is it some kind of cancer? For the past 6 months I have cried every day and then quit all my jobs, I don't know when these horrible symptoms will leave my body so I can get back to life. As usual, I was too tired and completely exhausted
