Tingling hands and feet/Wooziness

I totally understand what you are going through as I have had this for 18 months. i have seen so many Doctors over this time including 2 Neurologists who thankfully cannot find anything wrong with me.

The tingling is mainly in my feet and legs and sometimes a burning feeling in my feet. too. I get really weird heads it almost feels like tingling too which makes me sound nuts!! Some days are worse than others. Like you I feel woozy with this and I get really scared sometimes because it's so hard to believe that hormones can cause this. I am 52 and have other menopause symptoms too so I decided to go on HRT. I have been on this for 6 months & it is enabling me to cope with the above symptoms as well as increasing my energy & sleep. I just want to feel like I did before all this crap started but reading these forums makes me feel I'm not alone going through this and hopefully you will too.

All the best

hi there - i have & continue to have all the symptoms you are talking about & i am 7 years post menopause - something we must all keep in mind is that hormones affect every system in our bodies, the nervous system being one of them - i have been to so many specialists/naturopaths/acupunturists/drs & no one can give me an answer as to why i have tingling/burning/electric shock in my body - the only thing i do know is if you are experiencing tingling in both hands or bothfeet it is not caused by a pinched nerve - a pinched nerve will only affect one side of your body (at least that was what my Rheumatologist told me)

Frankly, its just too coincidental that all these peri meno ladies on this forum are experiencing these issues, why dont drs know anything about this? UgH!

Good Morning LKL… You are describing my physical symptoms to the T. Including it happening in the night and getting up and feeling off balance. Believe me ...I thought I have a brain tumor, I’m having a stroke, I have a terminal illness. No... it’s all hormones. Is your doctor a man? Because what is so concerning is.... I have said it 100 times before ... the medical community does not know what is up with perimenopause or post menopause. My doctor even said that to me... that the brain and hormones are two of the least things doctors know about. I would suggest taking up any throw rugs if you have throw rugs in your path when you get up in the night to go to the bathroom. Throw rugs cause more Falls then Heinz has pickles. when you’re feeling anxious take a deep breath through the nose for five seconds slowly, hold it for five seconds, blow out slowly five seconds, Do this several times, it really helps. I have the burning as well in fact you know how you said the last few weeks has been worse, this has to do with the season or the barometric pressure, because I’ve had it horrible for like a month. And the burning also, my husband asked me if I have the gout, no I don’t have the gout...I have post menopause. I think I’d rather have the gout then I could pound a bottle of freshly pressed cherry juice and be done with it. have you ever seen a natural path, try to seeinf a natural path about this. what I find concerning though is that you’re on BHRT and you’re still having this? I’m going on BHRT cream that my pharmacist is compounding and I was hoping that that would get better with the cream. For some reason the communication between my pharmacist and my doctors office is very poor, I’ve been waiting five days to get this cream. Of course my doctor didn’t want me to get it because he tried to convince me I was gonna have a stroke, he didn’t realize I was going to be educated on the subject. He also tried to convince me that synthetic hormones are the same as BHRT and I looked him straight in the face and said they are not, whatsoever. Then after doing a slow burn about the way he acted after I got home, I called and left a message with his nurse that he needed to speak with my pharmacist to educate himself on HRT/ BHRT/synthetic HRT. He was trying to intimidate me the whole time I was there. He also confused two pharmaceuticals, Naloxone, with the anti-inflammatory med naltrexone. Now I know they sound simikar, but they are two entirely separate medications. And of course he looked at me straight in the eye as I requested the anti-inflammatory med naltrexone and said that’s the drug that brings people back from a heroin overdose, I was like what? My pharmacist laughed, he said that is not the anti inflam. med! I mean that’s embarrassing ! Anyway, as usual... I digress 😉 When you read this forum... in this forum alone, there are literally millions of dollars spent on testing, neurological, EKGs any and every test for the heart and brain. The medical community knows what’s wrong with middle-aged women, it’s like a broken record. They hear the same symptoms over and over, but oh my gosh, they just don’t know what it is, baloney. We are $1 billion industry. that’s why we have to take the bull by the horn‘s and do our own research, that’s why there’s so many Instagram/Facebook menopausal communities. if you’re on Facebook have you seen “Fixed a flash“, you have to request to be a member. i’m not on Facebook so unfortunately I can’t join. you’re not alone, my friends are experiencing they are tingling/numbness/burning as well. hugs to you xo
