Hi all!
For the past few days I've had really bad symptoms. I've felt run down, shaky inside, tired, off balanced like I'm going to fall over and tension headaches. Anyone else feel like this?
Yes I have felt tired, headachy and off balance at times too. Not sure what to do though😞 my head just hasn't felt clear for quite a while.
Almost like you're coming down with a bug of some sort, right?
I get like that sometimes, but lately, my problem has been an increase of hypoglycemic symptoms which if I don't get before the symptoms start, I end up getting dizzy and run down for hours.
Not sure how to describe it, like you've had a drink or two but you haven't!
Spot on ! That's exactly how I feel too
Wow...exactly! I keep wondering if I've got a fever or something, too...but I think it's me getting a hot flash.
Yes! Definitely Sharcerv. I've felt like I was coming down with the flu (but I'm not), crashing fatigue too. I've felt spacey and detached, like my thinking is slowed down, dizzy too. It' horrible.
Yeah and I feel like I'm stumbling over my words when I speak.
Feel like it all the time, wobbly,spaced out, fatigued, nauseous, achy, bloated, similar to you - awful. Have you been checked out ?
No I know it's hormones because I am in ovulation right now. This has happened to me before but not as bad. I've been under stress. I lost two loved ones in the same week. So stress has made my symptoms worse.
Uugghh dreaded hormones, poor you. Sorry you've had a rough time.
I stumble over words too. I also feel a bit unreal, like I'm going through the motions of life but I'm not quite there, sounds weird I know, it gives me panicky feelings that my brain or memory might just shut down. I've had this off and on for months, I'm just waiting for the old me to return. I was so worried about the dizziness I had an MRI brain scan a few weeks ago - all clear thankfully.
Yes that's the anxiety in the background that causes that I have it too :-( bit like depersonalisation which is an anxiety trait!
Wow Sharcerv, you've described perfectly how I feel most of the time. I seem to be ok for a few days then whack ... The symptoms hit me again, the dizzy, spaced out feeling and the inability to string a sentence together is horrendous.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.. You poor thing. Take care, big hugs and I hope tomorrow is a brighter, better day. Xx
Thank you Camkitten.
Hi sharcerv
Are you on any HRTs for your menopause, and do you take vitb6 It could be side effects of those medications.
I had all this in November, December just feeling shaky, nervous run down and tired i am on zoloft and ativan and I feel like a lot of my menopause symptoms have gone down a lot, I am not on HRTs because I want to do this naturally yes we all get this way maybe you just need time to your self do some relaxation
I just started the mini pill last week. But I have lost three loved ones in less than two weeks. So I think the stress from all of this is what made my symptoms so bad.
I know the unreal feelings can be an anxiety symptom but I still worry that something catastrophic is about to happen to my brain. The brain fog etc makes the anxiety worse and can trigger a panic attack sometimes. Oh, these symptoms are horrible.
Yes they are!
