Does anyone gets the shakiness , nervousness all over and internal tremors inside? is this anxiety? Whatever it is its affecting my bowels, my whole body. I'm losing weight and body feel so frail and weak... very malnutrition. This hormone stuff has really taken a toll on me. I have to do something. This just doesn't seem normal to have symptoms daily for almost 2 years now. I can no longer control my body..something must be done!! Yes, I've tried just about everything..I haven't seen a primary dr since July, several hormone specialist last year and the start of this year. Now Im seeing a alternative dr and he says it a the yeast die off , bacteria and parasites that has me feeling this way. I don't know what to believe or do anymore. I am all worn out from this. Is it really an end to this?
I also get the internal tremors and shakiness. What I have learned through all of this is that when the hormones in our bodies start to deplete it can affect every part of our bodies. I recently went on HRT (Prempro) for a week and the gastrointestinal side effects were too much for me to take. I believe the body will adapt over time, I just hope it is not a lot of time. I hope you and all of us are feeling better soon. Hang in there.
Hi Mary how long you been like this for. As I was say to the other ladies everything that you are all feeling and going through are all what I’m going through now. I can’t believe it.. One or two things I think we could all cope with but this takes the biscuit.. Oh ladies I wish I had a magic wand x
I get a constant internal buzzing sensation, it feels like its in my core and my legs. When its bad it wakes me up ans I have to get up because lying still makes it more noticeable. I have noticed it subsides a lot when i am well rested, which isnt often lately as the insomnia has kicked in again. If i get several nights of good sleep it definitely gets better.
I’m hopefully starting HRT soon and this is one symptom im really hoping will go away. xx
yes i shake uncntrollably but i have epstein barr virus .. have you had your bloodwork done ?
i thought all my symptoms were meno but was so severe i got several blood tests and have mono .
Lori my naturopath says I have a virus but from just muscle testing he can’t tell what kind. He thinks it’s from the parasites. what kind of blood test do I do for this?
Hi Mary, yes, this comes and goes for me. Hormone fluctuations affect our central nervous system for sure. I went to a Integrative dr (as some of them are called here) early this year…they took loads of blood. After, trying to sell me on a couple of different diagnosis and supplements and “programs”…my BS meter went up, so I parted ways with them. I did buy 1 of their supplements, took 1 and got the worst GI cramps in my life..apparently, it was made if cow colostrum…yikes!
I recently went back on bcp to stabilize my fluctuations. If something has a beginning, surely it must have an end! Hopefully sooner rather than later! Take good care!
Janice it will be two years for me this coming March God forbid. I pray it stops soon. This has been pretty much daily all this time. My symptoms have changed throughout the course but lately it’s been the Same with my digestion, shaking, etc. It is so hard waking up to this daily. The weirdest thing ..things seem to calm down late evening.
Mary, thats exactly what I have dealt with really bad these last two years!
Lou. Im beginning to think that is what he’s trying to do..just sell his supplements. Everytime i take my own supplements and have him muscle test me he says my body doesn’t test for it. Really? why does it only test for yours? So i said well they actually helps me. He said oh really ? well if they are continue using them . I don’t even think that he tested me because my eyes were closed while he was testing.
I had all of that! I remember getting this weird buzzing electrical feeling in my head usually before a hot flash. I just felt so weird and sick for a couple of years. The good news is that 3 years in I am finally feeling better with just an occasional hot flash and tremor feeling. I believe it is all hormones!! I even had a mini period this month but my Dr said this could happen. For me, I did have to eat really good and cut out sugars and processed food. I would try that if you can and give it a little more time! Hopefully you will be feeling better soon!
the one I saw said I had Lyme disease…even though their lab said it was negative. Tried to put me on doxycycline and a bunch of supplements to “kill the virus”…told me to take hot baths and about herxmeir reactions where I would sweat and feel sick…" die off"…they called it. Wanted me to come every month at $300-500 per visit.
I questioned the diagnosis…heard nothing back, then, a month later got a call from a nurse stating I had hypothyroid and needed to take pig thyroid and supplements. of course, more visits, etc, I said…what about the lyme diagnosis…she said, oh, no the “dr” said now it was thyroid.
If anything, I am more on the hyperthyroid end of blood results. thankfully, I did not go for what they were trying to sell me. I saw an endicrinologist twice about thyroid, mine is fine. He told me had I taken the pig thyroid, I could have become very sick.
I m not talking bad of naturopaths…I just happened to find a real sketchy one! It was good to get things tested though…I have EBV too…never knew that before I guess!
Hi Mary
You describe what im going through very closely.
Will be 2 yrs for me this January that ive lived like this.
Internal tremors, yep
anxiety yep
frail, weak yep yep
weight loss yep
Its seems like each of us get hit differently and to varying degrees depending on our genes, and our physical constitution. I dont like the fragile feeling of not having energy or enthusiasm to the point of fear and depression, having to just survive each day.
Your right, something needs to be done.
Does your alternative guy have you doing cleanses? You mentioned a ‘die off’ effect.
I honestly have a hard time believing anyone at this stage. Im all for alternative, and take supplements, tried off n on hrt , the list goes on, but no real results.
Your not alone, its a crazy time to be living through thats for sure. Im always miffed and so are other lady posters here at how I see so many women our age doing fantastic, seriously…out and about, dining, exercising, dating etc.
My immune system is pretty worn out also, and over time now its taking its toll, hence the frailty, palor, apathy, anxiety..you get the picture.

Hi Mauiblue..do you know what caused your weight loss? I am so depressed about how I look, I try to avoid people as much as possible.
Yes he has me doing all sorts of cleanses which only adding to my discomfort. From reading die off symptoms should last only a few days or weeks but mine is a constant daily thing for months now. I think im about to throw in the towel for this… I just want to wake up one morning and be back to my normal self before perimenopause hit me.
Hi Lou42662 was it a naturopath that did all the testing or a MD?
Hi Mary
i also look like crap, and its like i cant change it because its my whole being thats fading away, you know, dying. I hate to say that but it is that.
We are going through so many emotional and physical changes due to this.
I would use caution with the naturpath guy, just my opinion. Ive seen plennnty of them around here as its the fashionable ‘new’ mind body ’ way to treat health.
I dont think we need to be fasting and purging and shredding our insides to ‘detox’. There is a lot of good in naturpath dont get me wrong, i love it, the herbs and medicinal plants, etc. but the other stuff makes money you know??
Feel better. At some point we will look in the mirror and say"There you are! Where have you been all this time ive been looking for you?".

Hi Mary, Both had tested for lyme, thyroid, hormones. Got so much blood work last year. The naturopath checked EBV, which was positive for past infection. ( like 95% of the population) Also, checked further for lyme co infections…which were all negative. Also had already been tested a month prior at hospital for mono, lyme and neuro lyme…so I was not worried! My insurance covered the labs at the NP…but not office visit.
Apparently, the one I saw must not have been in the hormone business, as my levels were all over the place…yet they offered no help for that. Oh, and the person diagnosing me was not even a dr…I found out she was a nutritionalist. They all work under a dr at the clinic. They were just too sketchy for me. Anybody can order a blood test…it us just a matter of putting in an order at the lab. People buy kits too and do that way if their dr is being difficult about it.
Mauliblue ..you are so right. At least before I went to this so called alternative Dr I was able to maintain my weight now it’s like it’s gone over board and I can’t stop it. If I cant eat this then I can’t eat that because of either candida. parasites or hormones or something else. My life feel do out of control ..I feel so weak, Puney, and so depressed. I don’t know what to do ..how did i get here
i think most of the ebv tests show past infection thats what mine showed and i have it really bad .
Mary
I would just go back to basics. Eat as healthy as you can, dont worry about this and that. Its not logical or practical that they would have us doing these things.
Ive learned to be gentle with my system..my gut, my whole body.
Eating less sugar is a good thing ofcourse, eating well, nothing radical. Get some calories back into your body, lots of nourishing soups. (Roots -sweet potato,potatoe,carrot)easy to digest,
Depression/anxiety are the worst symptoms for me in this jourmey, its inexplicable but we will move through it
Xoxo
