Hell on earth is how I have been feeling for a few months now , have had every test going from blood works to having a camara down my throat even waiting to have camera up the other end now 😖 Been feeling realy down getting flushed face even my husband said he has had enough with my moods thinking I have some serious illness , can't seem too get out of this rut .
i am 56 and know that I'm in the menapose but hadn't realised that what I'm feeling can come from this . Do I need HRT ??? .
hi anne, yes im afraid these are symptoms. I have really hot burning facial flushes a lot and mood swings, im on anti depressants for low mood and also get anxiety and feeling lightheaded just trying hard to go with it all if you can as i am - not trying to fight it and should get easier. this site is so good for support. hugs to you. debi .x
Hi Anne
You have come to the right place. I too thought I has some sort of disease. I had bloods tests,had a camera down my throat and am going to a neurologist . I was scared,panicky and always Ill. I went on HRT 4 months ago,and my now trying to adjust it to get the right balance. My depression and sweats are lots better. You could start a low dose xx
Hi
How long have you been suffering with peri?
michelle you sound like me tch!. is awful. why di dyou go to neurologist if you dont mind, thanks debi x
prob since last autumn tests showed the hormone levels low and i got sparse periods and anxiety etc with facial flushes, since jan got worse with heart palps in a and e a lot all tests ok, picked up for a couple weeks then hit th e floor with depression etc here i am feeling grog i know all part and parcel but just wanna feel my old happy self , its so annoying as i can put up with general aches and pains but not depression and anxiety, flippin hormones, cant have HRT quite yet as wld be counter productive now. debi x
Hi debi, thank you for that it's feels good too know I have some news with what's going on , have been feeling realy down about everything , I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday so I will mention my symptoms then with out feeling like I'm going mad .
Thanks Michelle for you reply , it's awful how it makes us all feel , but this site is realy good to have a rant when things get too much .
I am the exact same, been feeling sick since January. Been to loads of specialists and two different gps. Had tons of scans and tests, and still more upcoming. I have a lot of physical symptoms, as well as psychological ones, but am afraid I have something terrible too. I am on HRT, but don't believe it has helped a whole lot. After I get through with all the testing, and am sure everything is good, I will be seeing a naturopathic dr. Feel like they might be better at finding out why I feel so lousy everyday. Hope you find answers too. Keep us posted.
What HRT are you on?
I'm seeing a neurologist for burning sensations in my nose when I breath. Also tingling in my nose and face. Everything comes on you at once xx
The psychological affects are brutal. I'm very irratible and have a gyn apt wed. I'm on the 3rd antidepressant and still not much relief. Why isn't there a medication proven to help with this aging disease?? My sister is 50, hasn't been to any kind of doctor in years and has no problems. No symtoms of menopause at all. I'm 48, and this started almost 3 yrs ago and thought i was going nuts.
Combipatch, lower dose. As I said, don't think it's doing much.
Hi i just wsnna knw if d camera dwn your throat reveals any answers or is it just another part of menopause?
It just showed inflammation from acid reflux so went on Lansaparole. I had the reflux for 2 months. That has eased now luckily xx
So with or without meds accordingly does d acid go away? Just curious i hav acid an it causes my anxiety
Hi Anne, I'm a new to the site too, I'm experiencing the same anxiety and depression and total lack of interest in everything. I can endure the flushes but mental side of it is gruelling. I just want to be my old self. My poor husband is at a loss as what to do to help, bless him. Going to the doctors on Friday but expecting too much x
Hi Debbie ,
i feel the same way it's so awful hope you feel better soon .
Hi hi colleen, it's brutal how we feel , I was thinking if I needed antidepressants too but bit nervous about asking my doctor about them .
I need too sort something out because everything I get I think I have cancer or something like that !! Everything seems a lot worce at the moment . Hope you get things sorted soon .😡😡
Hi Debi, I agree with you. I can deal with sweating all the time but the mental symtoms are my worst.I'm going to my gyn who ordered a blood test 3 days after my last cycle to see what I can take for this monster inside me
