    I'm surprised no one mentioned breast soreness/tenderness. For me, I have had most of the 34 symptoms listed online - chronic fatigue, night sweats, digestive issues, dizziness, brain fog (word finding and memory loss included), blurred vision, heart flutters, thyroid issues, anxiety, numbness, tingling, sore muscles, headaches, incontinence issues, bloating, hair loss, insomnia, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, vaginal dryness, and loss of libido. I'm sure i missed one or two in there. The worst one for me right now is the breast pain. They feel heavy, painful, super sensitive (including the nipples- temperature changes included), and very oddly...feel like they are leaking (and wet) when there is nothing there. Weirdest and most disturbing thing I have felt. Had another gal tell me she had the same thing happen to her during peri. I sympathize with those who have health anxiety through all of this. I've convinced myself several times through all of this that I'm terminal. Its crazy how crappy this can make you feel!

      I had this also, sometime I still do but it has eased up. Nipples soreness, stiffness and even a few rounds of really itchy nipples that had me convinced it was some deadly disease. there were several times my breast felt like they were going to 'let down' as if I were breast feeding again, LOL....breast issues have seems to pass, onto the lower back soreness, stiffness, neck stiffness. UGH.....

    Migraines and health anxiety for me. There is always something new- right now it is bloating and abdominal pain. A few months ago it was dizziness (diagnosed with hypoglycemia), and before that it was GERD. Always something 😦

      You're so right. Today i woke up with the worst back pain, hip pain, tail bone pain and head pressure. It was so intense i started to cry. Called my sister and she prayed with me. I had plans to go out today but the couch with a heating pad is where i must stay for right now. I hate living this day to day, hour by hour, minute by minute not knowing whats next. I am so wanting to feel like the old me. Praying for not my healing only but for every woman on this forum and in the world going through this.

      Bless your heart, I hope you tail bone/back pain is letting up. I have had many issues in the past 4 years and it took me 2 years to figure out I was peri...I started out with itchy sore nipples, then the tail bone pain. Once that left me I had a neck pain/stiffness off and on (mostly on) for 4 years. Still deal with that. Lots of acid reflux to. Keto type diet seems to help tons with that. I am now dealing with lower back stiffness that seems like it runs up my side by my ribs. I see a chiropractor which seems to help a lot for a few days. Oh yea, I have have the palpitations for years to. Chiro helps allot with that to. I have health anxiety from time to time and tend to steer clear of the medical community. My periods have been irregular for the past 4 years, I am 53. Sometimes I skip 3, 4 or even 5 months then Bam, back on schedule for a month or even two. I would like to feel like the old me also! Prays for all of you out there in this boat. It certainly is a wild ride!

      I seem to have all the same symptoms as you Paula. Good for you for steering clear. I try to but then I get worried and get things checked out. So far everything comes back negative so I think/hope it is just the peri.

    I am sorry your having anxiety...i do as well. I wont do meds but sometimes I get tempted to. Funny thing is I am to scared of the side effects of the meds I know ot would cause me more anxiety.....so I ride it out. Seems with each new symptom comes more anxiety. prayers to you girl. I am 4.5 years in. I skip about 4 months of my period and think I am home free then I get it again regularly for a few months. take care of you...your certainly not alone in the struggle.
