I was sat on the bus one day going to work, felt lousy with fatigue and i had just got up, i had, had, the electric shock feelings, and all of a sudden, my right leg jerked right out, kicking the man sat next to me in his leg, I was so embarrassed. and just apologised profusely, So my advice to you is go back to that drs again, and if you get knowwhere, just slap him in the face and say, sorry fatigues playing me up to day, feel like im first stage of sleep, body thinks i should be asleep, best go back to bed, you will have to forgive me, you know whats its like for ladies during the menopause being a dr................. then get up quickly and walk out.................ha
Thank you Jamie and Hooe you're doing ok. Today's beens horrible anxiety awful x
Hahahaha....I love that....I need to do something. Then maybe he will listen.
My anxiety was a bit much today also. I was driving and started feeling weird. Then the panic started coming. I was by myself and getting ready to lose it. I got myself together before my daughter got in the car. Needless to say I made it home as quick as i could and got in my bed. I'm watching tv and trying to remind myself that I am ok and it will away.
Oh no poor you - that's happened to me before aswell only the other week actually . I was driving and my mouth felt funny so at the next junction I had my. Mouth wide open staring in convinced something was wrong and then heart thumping and feeling so horrible with panic had to get home quickly and run all up the garden path like a weirdo get the key in the door run upstairs to the mirror and stare in my mouth, honestly it drives me mad and I focus on things. Today my cheekbones have been aching like mad so again I'm thinking something drastic, rang my lovely mum who said ' oh Lou it's just your face changing' ! GREAT now I think my face looks all bony and different - im driving myself mad with all this and couldn't work this afternoon I got myself into such a state, I wish I had a telly in the bedroom I would just stay in bed when I get like this, in fact I might buy a telly at the weekend so I can stay in bed all the time watching sad films ! How are you feeling now ? xx
I'm feeling a little better. I have a huge pimple on the side of my face which means my cycle is coming. I've been shaky and trembling all day and have no clue what for. Everytime I try to clear my mind and say I'm ok, I start thinking something else is wrong when I know that it isn't . My anxiety is so crazy that when I drift off to sleep and wake up, I can literally feel my insides shaking. It used to scare me really bad until I learned thats it part of meno. It doesn't happen all the time, but closer to my menses time is when my symptoms are the worse.
At some point in the middle of peri I used to have a dream, it seemed the more tired I was the worse it would be.
Different scenarios but basically the same theme. I would be looking after young children usually 3 under fives. They weren't mine lol I don't know whose they were but I felt so responsible. Maybe they would all be hungry, I had no money could not remember any phone numbers to get anyone to help alone in a flat high up apartment block and have to ferry them downstairs one at a time going back up one flight at a time to carry down the next, so on and so on until we reached the ground floor. Then realised no one was about to help and having to get them all back up to the flat in the same way.
Another night being chased all over town by giants, having to carry two at the same time as encouraging the older one to keep up.
Another time on a sandy beach having to trudge miles back to the car.
I always woke up feeling as if I had really done all that stiff too!
yes i know, there strange arent they, it is like its really happened, dont tell your dr that though.....................ha
your dream sounds like, your struggle with menopause, as if your fighting all on your own with it, and your getting no help from anyone, taking children upand down lifts single handed, trudging miles back to the car................makes sense to me.
These dreams are so crazy and I dream all the time, even if l drift off, it goes straight into a dream. It's nerve wrecking. I don't know what point I am in peri. These weird symtpoms just started a few months ago, but I've been having symptoms for the past three years. Those have died down and now I'm on to the weird crazy stuff. I'm over it. It's draining. I just take it one day at a time and hope that in at least get one day of not feeling like the invasion of the body snatchers has gotten me. I come to the forum daily now to vent or see if anyone else feels this invasion.
Yes I'm the same with dreaming to soon after falling asleep. It must be meno then. I have been trying to research going into rem sleep straight away, I'm sure it's the reason you don't feel refreshed when you wake up.
Everything is messed up. I'm over it. Lol. Going to try the chamomile tea. I heard it works very well.
thats it exactly, it knocks our sleep rythms out, thats what causes, the dreams, the electric shock symptoms and the jerking, this jerking happens, when you drifting off, you feel like your falling, so you kick out suddenly, but during meno, it can happen in the day if your really crashingly fatigued, you may find you do all these a lot more during meno, the jerks are called Hypnogenic jerks, google that and it all comes up, and that is why, your right, that your unrefreshed in the morning, as your now fatigued.
yes ive read good reports about chamomile tea, and ginger tea to settle stomach dijestion probs.
