hi ladies, I am new here just join few days. 39+. I have almost had all the 60 symptoms of peri meno. The most awful one is this eye dizziness, as if I have not slept for some days peppering at times. Early Jan dis year wasn't good at all I had terrible anxiety, palpitations, panic attack, migraines at fore head, I can't concentrate, shaking body atimes, I thought I am dying, done all tests all normal..gosh.. then had strongest hot flush that lasted some hours, I haven't had it again except feeling body hot atimes, crying a lot, I cannot be on my own, feeling scared all the time, distance myself from friends, I was so scared to the extent I have to remove my pictures from Facebook thinking someone is after me, it was awful & terrible experience. The most annoying part now is this eye heavy & dizziness other feelings come down a bit I am managing now. My period too has become irregular but comes every months just days apart. WHEN WILL I BE OKAY. I feel am not myself again. Thank you.
I understand all that you're saying I get the same feeling I'm worried I'm might go crazy I sometimes doubt myself I have to remind myself it's the hormones but it's hard constantly worrying what next I have dizziness can't keep my balance we just have keep strong
All I can offer is to say welcome to the new phase of being a woman. Hormones are going into over drive and some will be diminishing causing our body to have a whole bunch of new symptoms, and sensations. Hormones are used by all areas of the body and so when they are starting to fade the body goes into overdrive. My gynocologist told me that all we can really do is treat the symptoms because your body has to go through this.....what works for one may not work for the other. I have pretty much every symptoms except the hot flushes...the only time I have ever experienced them is when I had anxiety which in my opinion was brought on by perimenopause. I have done several things to help me get less symptoms, one is I had my blood tested to check out if anything was going on, I had low iron, magnesium, progestrone and estrogen, B12....so I supplemented and started eating a bit better, I also am working on trying to get my gut and liver working better. I use essential oils, use a bio identical progestrone cream that I apply 15 days into my cycle, I also get acupucture and this has helped with pain and burning pain that I was getting. I still get odd symptoms, but not to the full degree that I was and I feel like I have my life back again.....Praise God!
Estou sentindo dores nas articulações, especialmente nos quadris e joelhos, toda noite. O pior é uma dor de cabeça localizada no topo da minha cabeça e que desce pelo meu pescoço e uma dor estranha no rosto, como se fossem os ossos e a boca, simplesmente estranho, e uma dor no meu quadrante esquerdo da região média do abdômen que às vezes desce até o ovário esquerdo e sobe abaixo do seio. Também estou com medo? Você já passou por isso? Minha menstruação é regular, só argh. Vamos ficar bem!
Hi Mercy OMG I am reading my symptons. I am right now in bed because I have no energy just weakness all over. I have been waking up with anxiety and my mind is constantly going.
I have been praying and reading scriptures, I feel like I'm losing it.
My period is on this week and the day it started I have been having extreme body weakness especially when I wake up alone with the anxiety. It usually lessen up in the afternoon or evening.
My legs feels like jello when I walk. I get the shaking also and inside tremors..body burning, etc.
I am thinking of going to ER but I am tired of going to drs. And medical bills are piling up.
So very hard for me to concentrate or do anything.
Do you have any type of birth control device? I read that the paraguard IUD causes anxiety and other symptons . I do have one and I have made an appt to get it out.
You are not alone in this...HUGS❤
Hi Linda
How long have you been using the progesterone cream? I have been using it also and it seem to help my anxiety along with the b12. When I took the break off for the 2 weeks, my anxiety returned . I think I may need phytoestrogen also.
Because I started to get vaginal dryness, digestion flared up (which had went away) bladder issue ( sympton left when period came on) and anxiety really bad right now. I did do full blood work by my chiropractor and low in iron, hormones way off..
Oi mercy, sei como você se sente. Pesadelo tudo isso. Quando comecei a menopausa, foram as ondas de calor e o tontura muito ruim para mim. Terminei o ano passado indo para os adesivos de THS (o que eu realmente não queria), mas estava muito mal. Devo admitir, foi a melhor coisa que fiz, minhas ondas de calor desapareceram e não sinto muito tontura. Espero que isso ajude xx
O HRTB é seguro? Ouvi dizer que é prejudicial
Estou tomando há um ano, sem efeitos colaterais e sem problemas. A pressão arterial e tudo mais está normal. Tenho 50 anos.
Hi. I have gone through 9 weeks of dizzy sensation. In my head is weird, not vertigo. All sorts of symptoms. I have seen my internist, a neurologist, an eye Dr, an ENT. It is probably vestibular related ( as in vestibular neuritis or silent vestibular migraines. Other symptoms kept coming up done on and off. Eventually I began vestibular exercises, look it up, join a fb forum for these symptoms, it does help, such as chronic subjective dizziness or vertigo and dizziness. I am healing and for the first time in my life, I am on 0.5 mg once a day Xanax. I rarely take any medicine, not even Advil... It's a long road but it ends.
LAna que tipo de dor de cabeça. As minhas são estranhas e não consigo explicar, só que começam no topo e se espalham pelo meu rosto e sinto a dor no osso e dentro da minha cabeça é uma dor estranha como eletricidade e fico tonta e vai para a parte de trás do meu pescoço.
Hi Mercy, So the cream I count 15 days into my cycle...the day period starts is day 1......on day 15 in the evening before bed I take the prescibed dose (2 pumps) and rub it on my inner arm, I switch arms each night so it is getting evening absorbed. Progestrone starts to rise normally mid cycle (day 15) so this bio identical adds extra to my diminishhing hormone.....this was prescribe by a natural practitioner made at a comounding pharmacy. I too had the vaginal dryness and I was given estrial vaginal cream, estrial is the weakest estrogen....again bio identical, I didn't use it long enough and found something else that has really helped me and it isn't a hormone. The bladder issue, yes I had that too, at first it felt like a chronic UTI and my uretha felt inflammed and when tests showed there was no infection we knew it was the estrogen decreasing. I started keeping a diary each month and started seeing a pattern. I even felt the gums in my mouth were burning, and I found this has a lot to do with hormones diminishing as well. The acupuncture has really helped with my bladder, joint pain and anxiety alog with the B12.....the iron supplements have helped with fatigue and dizziness....but again I got blood work to show I was defiecient I just didn't start to take them because I was guessing. I had been seeing a chiropractor for 10 years for my lower back issue, but in truth I was finding when I started this phase the chiropractor was making everything worse.....so I stopped and my back feels better. It is not cheap especially when I have no coverage, but the way I was feeling before I felt like my life was being stolen from me and I was not going to let it get me...so I researched and found products, and supplements that worked for many people. I also take probiotics for my stomach and bowels, and a vaginal probiotic right after my period because the PH gets altered after a period and that is when I was feeling bladder issues. ....so I hope this helps a bit. It sounds like we have had the same things going on.....I am feeling better than I was last year....thank goodness.
Mine are different. Not really headachy, sometimes light headache. What is your dizziness like? My eyes, especially the right one gets heavy and tired feeling. Computer screens sometimes bring it on. I think you may have anxiety. But I'm not Dr. Can you stand feet together, arms outstreched in front, eyes closed for ten secs? Can you touch your nose then in that same position, eyes closed quickly alternating index fingers? Can you do the drunk test, walking on a line?
Meus olhos estão secos e embaçados... especialmente depois do almoço no trabalho. Minhas dores de cabeça duram 3 dias, mas são intensas e percebo que ocorrem após minha menstruação nos dias férteis. Sim, consigo ficar em pé.
Can you describe the dizziness?
Sinto dor de cabeça e de repente, se eu me levantar ou pegar algo do chão, fico um pouco tonta. É só uma sensação irritante.
Dear Mercy , I feel so sorry. I have not finished yet, and I had some terrible years in the past. Some symptoms are better now. Unfortunately, I lost interest in my hobbies during those years, I stopped dancing lessons I had enjoyed for years. I could not continue- pains, migraines, heavy period, lost confidence, fatigue etc. I try to start again now... and it is so difficult.
I love this forum, because you find here women who understand you and do not make judgements. You find help and good advice. I learnt a lot here.
Peri is terrible because it last so long for some of us. Not a few months or a year or so, but many years. The change is slowly and painful.
Is your dizziness where the room spins around or is it inside your head? Dizziness can be from so many things. Your Dr knows about it, I assume!
Hi Mary thanks for your contribution.. I am calm now knowing I am not alone. I am not using any birth control and I have not use any, I gave birth my last child 5 yrs ago. After all the series of Tests and nothing was seen, I decided to help myself by eating a lot of veggies & fruits, eat raw white cabbage everyday, cucumber, carrots & watermelon mostly I eat them on empty stomach before breakfast that has help lessen my symptoms. HUGS
Karen Thank you very happy for you... Just pray for us that we come out this like you do. Plenty thanks.
