Hello all, have come hom from work today (yet again) cos I feel terrible. Is anyone else having what i can only explain as a surge from the stomach that climbs round your torso through your arms and up to your head or sometimes even down your legs that feels tingley, i feel my head will explode and i go freezing cold and cant think straight. My stomach is now making some grumbling noises and im left feeling i'm going to get a horrid headach. I was a bit like this yesterday but seems to be worse today. I eaten little and bland and drinking water but i dont seem to be able to find anything like this on all the listed peri symptoms you come across. I dont want to go to my GP cos he's not interested and i most likely wont get an apointment for another 2 weeks so thought i'd ask you lovely ladies. xx
Hi hun 😃
so sorry you feel like this today... All sounds familiar...
Are you due a period or have one coming ? I always got headache before well a few days before and felt like i had been in the ring with Tyson

I've been having very weird symptoms myself for the last week or so....my arms and legs feel so weak and trembly, I can't concentrate, and my vision even seems a bit off....I do get the tingly feelings from time to time, and I've had annoying pressure in my head....of course, all of this kicks off huge waves of anxiety where I spend hours agonizing that I've got an horrific disease....I'm sorry you're having such a bad time of it....tough to keep going some days, isn't it? Hugs x
hi jay, i'm not due on but really i dont know were i am with periods i came on 10th aug but it was just spotting so not a real period. Its not helped having a stressful morning as my new computer arrived at work but nothing seems to have gone right setting it up and i have several intense phone calls which i felt was getting now where as i couldnt take in what they were saying. I cant give up my job cos i know i'll be
worse at home on my own. I dont know whats to become of me i was looking up pancreitis on this website and all sorts but i see that wearykitty relates to me thank goodness. thanks for your support jay xx
hello wearykitty thank goodness you relate to my symptoms, yes i get the vision and head pressure also. I feel like i have a tummy bug or something only because its noisy and a bit upset but its the body tingles and feeling of not being all there that frightens me. I don't know about you but i feel i cant plan anything cos i may be ill that day. we have bank holiday monday coming up and i thought we'd do something but oh no i'm ill again. sorry to go on but i have no one else. thank you so much for your speedy reply and hug, sending you a return hug x
My boyfriend and I are taking my daughter off to college on Sunday and then spending a couple of days in the area as a mini-holiday and instead of being excited about it, I'm terribly anxious that I won't feel well and will ruin the trip....I'm doing my best to stay positive, but it's so difficult when I feel so physically unwell....my legs feel so shaky and weak and my head just feels odd....like a fullness/pressure as opposed to a true headache.....and if course I've got the palpitations that come on when I start worrying about all the "what-ifs".....I'm so exhausted by all of this!
we are like to two peas from the same pod. i get just like you about going away and i agree we just get ourselves exhausted by it all, i can only say to you to try and focus on something nice when your feeling this way and try and get through it, this is such a lovely occasion taking your daughter to college and having some time round there, if we had our way we'd never leave the safety of our home but we'v got to do normal things cos i've realised this isnt just some bug that will last a couple of weeks we may be like this for many years (hope not) so try and be brave and have a lovely time and tell me how you was whilst you were away. take care you can do it x
Thanks for the vote of confidence....I'm going to do my very best to enjoy myself and put this behind me if only for a few days. Can I ask if you're taking anything for your symptoms? My GP and GYN both suggested a low-dose anti-anxiety medication (lorazepam) for when things get unmanageable....I've been avoiding taking them because it feels like admitting defeat, but I may try it and see if it helps....at this point, I'd try just about anything if it meant I could get through the day without panicking and/or crying! Hang in there!!
Hi ladies!!!!Im the same way when we plan to go away even an overnight trip worries me...we took step daughter on fishing trip and i would wonder what if i start feeling bad???I didnt want to ruin things for her but i did ok...got funny feeling a few times and I would look at my hubby and he would give me that sweet smile and wink at me...It funny how he knows when i just dont feel right...I have appt today with new obgyn so wish me luck...I hope hes different then the worthless ones so far...Goin to ask him about pressure in head..That symptom is very exhuasting...i will let you all know how it goes....hugs
Could it possibly be low blood sugar?? It can cause very weird symptoms feeling sick trembly headache bad tempered light headed hot flushes and loads more. Just a thought.
I only take a multi vit for women going through meno and vit B6 and just started evening primrose. I took citalopan for 6 months way back i 2012 when thinks started but i feel it messed me up and i dont want to take any medication again if possible. I have some kalms in the cupboard but not tried them.I know what you mean about admitting defeat but if you feel they will give you a better quality of life for a short time then have a think about it. I have no support from my GP so i don't know what else to suggest cos im still struggling through. x
Yes i am hypoglycemic and have to eat ever 3 hours to keep my levels even but i still get all these symptoms and yet i'm doing the right things ??
Magnesium is meant to be good for calming the system down. It could be anxiety which is a menopausal symptom and magnesium is recommended. Read Marilyn glenvilles book on menopause it goes through the symptoms and herbs plus vitamins
Oh bless you anxious face..
Stress always makes it worse doesnt it..
I had a weird week, lack of energy and been really clumsy 😳so had another B6 injection, this evening feel very emotional, dont know why..

big hugs from Jay jay xxx

Yes, I can relate to having the sensation in my stomach, traveling to the arms, legs and head. I also get the stomach noises along with bouts of indigestion. None of this is any fun but it comes with the territory.
Any possibility to get some exercise? I know it seems like the last thing you want to do, but even stretching or a little yoga can turn the corner sometimes. I also notice that my sinus problems have gotten worse over the past few years and have led to all kinds of aches and pains. Swimming laps seems to help, and sometimes a decongestant. Sorry I can't think of any more specifics. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Hi katz
Swimming fab .. And cooling.. Exercise a must .. But when ladies feel wobbly or faint its not ideal on those days ... I avoided my pool today as having a blip and no one around if i felt odd .. But i know what you mean, it occupies the mind too and makes you feel good ... 😀

I can totally relate to the head pressure, trembing legs & arms, it's like my muscles are trembling on the inside, worse when sitting and as as soon as I go to bed and in the morning legs feel trembly. I was putting it down to an AD I was on but been off it 5 weeks now, so must be hormonal. Can also identify with people talking and not taking in what they are saying. I went to edit and excel document the other day and had completely forgot how to do it. I also get pain under left boob, going round to my side and also arm pain, this can be indigestion/reflux which is very common in peri as are all of the symptoms I have described. I was at the stage where my anxiety was so high, I was almost agoraphobic again, Gp put me on diazepam again, which is helping a great deal. I am aware they are addictive and am taking as little as I can to get by, I would rather be dependant on them than be the wreck I was the last 4 months. Hopefully in time I will be able to reduce them slowly.
You are not alone in this, it's horrible what we have to go through.xx
thank you for your reply and all the other ladies i do appreciate it. Still feeling dizzy today as if my heads full of magic so I'v done my housework slower and will have to wait for my husband to come home to go food shopping with me as i dont feel safe to drive and get round the shop. I was doing so well then this happens and bam i feel i have gone backwards. Cheekygal you made me smile when you said about forgetting how to edit a doc on your computer, this happens to me, i find i cant remember how to do things i have been doing for years. I have a new 16yr old assistant to help me at work and shes hopeless but how can i teach her what to do when i cant remember myself 
. Hope your better than i am today and tomorrows a new day so hopefully i will be brand new x
