Hello
I dont get bedridden but I get joint pain on my left side of my body, shoulder, hip,knee . I sweat at nigh, I get his headaches from hell . I have chronic gastritis . is hell

4

i get left side pain too. the upper under arm area where its fleshy and no muscle tone., hurts so much. under my left breast too. my shoulder was horrible last year but now its better. the feeling is mutual. im not bed ridden but some days are more difficult than others

5

Yep, im another housebound person. My anxiety since peri started has gotten so bad i can barely eat and i cant deal with leaving my house at all! i miss my old life, going out there and living life like everyone else. This is horrible!!

Hi- I am not exactly bedridden but honestly, I’d like to be!!! I am 48 & just started the symptoms of peri maybe 2 years ago..a lot of it comes and goes and I am in the middle of a huge bout of anxiety, exhaustion, crying all the time…I am so anxious about the upcoming holidays, my daughter got an apartment and I just cannot function! I do not have a lot of advice as I am trying to find something to help, but knowing I am not alone is helpful. Hang in there and reach out if needed!

i was bed ridden for a period of time of months. I found out i was iron deficient anemia due to extreme heavy menstrual cycles and needed iron infusion. that helped so much!! also started taking liquid multivitamins, liquid iron supplement, and magnesium. Big difference. I’m still on beta blockers as my heart palpitations still occur and not sure why yet…

8

yep i used to had under the arm too o the left side. like i just got over the pain on my left hip and leg now i have indigestion. is like i have more bad days than good

9

Ditto, everything for me is on the left side. Left ribs, back, etc. I truly thought I had a terminal illness until I started ready everything other woman are going through. It has gotten better as soon as I reigned my stress in

Hi Bev, I have been having lower back hip and leg pain. seems to move around. somedays I can hardly walk! I miss my life and am full of anxiety! You are not alone!! hugs!

11

hello my right elbow has been painful the past 5 weeks like a nagging pain and dong get me started on the rest of my body constant aches and pains X

12

its awful I’ve also battled pmdd since I was 16 pre menstrual dysphoric disorder that alone is hormonal but with perimenopause on top I’ve got no fight left in me some days I do try to push myself and get downstairs but only last a couple of hours and I’m straight back to my sanctuary X

13

I also have battled chronic anxiety since my early 20s I know what that feels like :growing_heart: I also take meds but since hitting perimenopause I just dont feel like me anymore X

14

the body pain I can definitely relate amongst other symptoms :face_blowing_a_kiss:

Wow! my elbows have been hurting too. My left hurts more. Seems I’ve loss fat around the elbow as well. What else is new with this meno crap?! Hang in there. We are going to get through this mess.

My anxiety hasn’t settled. I go out but, I’m not going out to my life. That sounds crazy right but, I’m literally just trying to push through this anxiety in order to get back to my life. It’s exhausting. I can’t find the road back to it yet. I feel like it’s just due to exhaustion and stress from this Peri. I may have PTSD from this too or a high histamine problem that is causing me these problems. I really don’t know anymore. I can’t find my normal train of thought. Really lost my identity through this and just trying to look up one day and find myself. I’m going to be like why the freak am I standing here. Literally - that’s what I’m waiting for. Please, someone tell me this is going to one day happen! Doctors are useless. Just trying to sleep right, eat right and hope in time this ends. Trying to stay positive each day. I take supplements, no hrt or antidepressants I can take.
