Hi ladies
Newly diagnosed peri menopausal, had numerous symptoms, all tests clear apart from low vitamin d which I'm now taking a supplement for. I suffered for a while with rib pain but this seems to have worn off but I have jaw pain and pain in my sinus area..... Anyone else suffered with this it's not constant just now and then on both sides at different times. Sheena x
Bonjour Sheena
J'ai souffert atrocement de ma gorge, de mes sinus et de mes oreilles, ça a commencé avec la péri, ça dure depuis janvier 2022, je viens de me faire renvoyer chez l'ORL pour plus de tests, c'est incroyable les problèmes que cause un déséquilibre hormonal xx
Hi Sheena
I get sinus pain frequently. I double checked at the dentist too as I had the same pain with my wisdom teeth but my teeth are fine so it seems to be yet another joyful symptom to add to the list.!
Hope you get some relief soon xx
Salut
Je vous entends !! Avoir tant de symptômes différents, on ne sait jamais si on doit s'inquiéter ou si je dois consulter un médecin ! Pour moi, certains de mes symptômes durent quelques mois puis disparaissent, d'autres durent plusieurs mois ! Je suis si contente d'avoir trouvé ce site web !
I'm exactly the same! It's reassuring to know others are going through the same and I'm not completely insane. I have blood tests this week but worried if they don't show anything because I will be back to square one. I am having the coil fitted too which apparently can help with moods but takes 6 months to see a difference. I can't wait that long as it will cost me my job!
oui mon amour et j'avais aussi une sensation de brûlure d'un côté de mon visage, j'étais convaincue que c'était un AVC. Maintenant, j'ai mal dans les articulations de mes pouces, mes poignets et mes genoux oh les joies de la ménopause lol ;
Hormones I would never have believed in a million years could cause so many problems. I've had rib pain, back ache, periods all over the place and really heavy, spotty skin, weakness in the muscles, throat and jaw ache, tiredness no matter how much I sleep, anger, mood swings, social anxiety, hair loss, warm all the time but more on a night, they all come and go and it's very annoying but I just think it's just a tunnel and we'll all get to the end eventually I just hope it doesn't take too long haha. I hope you have a lovely day with little or no pain. X
I know what you mean, I've had every alone test under the sun and the only thing that came back wap raised FSH level and low vitamin d, I've had ultrasounds and internals and boob exams and under arm exams but all clear so I'm trying not to worry every time a new thing whacks me, hard though not to worry. Have a nice day and try for some relaxing time xx
Jen it's frustrating sometimes when you don't know what it is or you feel bad then it disappears and comes back. I don't do poorly and this is the first time I've been to the doctors for years but they think it's all hormonal and I never thought you could get so many ghastly symptoms that can affect your life so much. Do you just painkillers for yours or a sinus relief? I'm not a tablet person so try to just battle thru but sometimes needs must. Squishy hugs x
Hi
Yeah I also get the joint pain big toes, ankles, wrists, shoulder blades, collar bones but nothing arthritic showed up on bloods. It's nice when the tests come back all clear but frustrating because you don't know what to do next. Have a pain free day. Hugs xxx
I use steam and painkillers sometimes when I remember to get them. I'm really unorganised these days which I hate because I never used to be!
Steam?? I'm not blocked just achy don't know whether that would work but I'll give it a shot. It's under my eyes this morning, oh the joys haha xxx
Salut, rejoins le club, j'ai mal au dos, des douleurs dans la cage thoracique, le cou et la mâchoire... certains jours c'est pire que d'autres. En plus, mes coudes ont commencé à me faire mal, sans parler de l'anxiété qui va et vient... surtout autour de l'ovulation et des règles... les hormones sont chaotiques...
Hi it's awful isn't it?? My ribs were horrendous but that seems to have gone and fingers crossed it doesn't return. It's now my jaw, sinus and joints. God I wish it was over. Do you find anything helps?? X
Bonjour Sheena. Je suis péri aussi. J'ai fait quelques analyses de sang en août et on m'a découvert des niveaux de vitamine D "insuffisants", alors mon médecin m'a mise sous 40 mg (ou 1600 UI) par jour en septembre. J'ai remarqué il y a 2-3 semaines que les douleurs générales et les courbatures sont pratiquement absentes maintenant et, en particulier, les douleurs chroniques que j'avais depuis 2 ans dans ma hanche droite, mon genou et mon mollet sont aussi pratiquement absentes maintenant. J'ai subi des examens pour ces douleurs chroniques et on a découvert que j'avais des tendons enflés à l'endroit où ils entrent dans l'os au niveau de ma hanche droite et cela me réveillait toutes les nuits, mais ces dernières semaines, cela a disparu ! J'ai vu mon spécialiste cette semaine et je lui ai parlé de la supplémentation en vitamine D et cela fait maintenant environ 2 mois que je la prends, et il a dit que cela pourrait bien être les niveaux de vitamine D maintenant bons car la vitamine D est essentielle pour la santé des muscles et des os. C'est la seule chose qui a changé (l'ajout de vitamine D) ces derniers mois, alors je pense que cela m'a aidée........ maintenant je dois les acheter moi-même, alors je vais continuer avec la même dose de 40 mg car je pense que cela me fait du bien. x
Oh God yes and I have thought I was going mad! Nothng shifts it and to be honest I try not to think about it, I think my pain sensors are totally knackered. I had trigeminal neuralgia when I was younger, think it might still be there. But I do grind me teeth as well.
I am currently having day 10 ish of a heavy period having not had one since June and although the tranexamic acid hasn't worked this time my sinuses and my jaw are not giving me any trouble for the last 10 days.
Guarantee if this period ever stops the jaw will start again!
Hi
I'm also low in vitamin d but not enough for doctors to treat so I buy my own will check dosage. I have been taking them for about 3 weeks and my rib pain is now pretty much non existent. My jaw has only just started this last few days and is on and off, left then right, so blooming frustrating but I'll persevere and hope the vitamin d works for it too. I hope your period stopping doesn't make yours start again it's a right chew on isn't it you never know what the next day is going to bring but I try to stay positive and have downloaded a relaxing technique onto my phone that I'm going to try tonight so I can use it to switch off and focus when I need to. Hugs and thanks for reply xxx
Sorry I meant the period bit for crazy Daisy lol mental moment xxx
Well I hope that once period stops pain doesn't return it's just a nuisance not knowing what to expect. I've always been fairly healthy other than psoriasis which funnily enough has got better not worse but I hate taking tablets but I also hate not being myself which is the way I feel at the minute. Squishy hugs xxx
Yes Sheena - I've had it off and on for a couple of years (I wonder if maybe I clench in the night and that aggravates it too). I've had sinus issues before in my life, but not constantly. This recent few months of fairly constant sinus pain is due to my hormones, I'm sure of it. My family is used to hearing me say, "arg, my left sinus is on fire!" My head in general has been the latest "victim" in my little PM journey. Tinnitus is off the charts, jaw ache, tons of head pressure and ear pressure (this one is kind of tough to explain and even I feel like a nut trying to describe it - to my dearest friend I've said that it feels as if you were to blow a balloon up in my skull. The pressure increases in my ears and this is sometimes exacerbated when I'm being "on" at work and talking quickly or even singing makes it worse). So hard to describe... I've also recently had eye pain and little flashes of pressure headache when I've quickly turned my head. Yesterday and today, I have had that hot burning mouth come back again, so I'm assuming it's connected to the fact that I'm currently 6 days past my menstrual cycle prediction. I use the term "prediction" loosely, these days. I've gone anywhere from a 15 day cycle to a 46 day cycle in the past 2 years. I pretty much chalk everything up to peri-menopause, even though my doctor said that that's not likely. Thanks to this forum, I know that it can very well be likely.
I'm relieved to see people posting about their rib pain as well. It was one of my first scary (to me) symptoms. I hope your symptoms subside soon - take care.
