Any advice for throbbing teeth? It is the weirdest feeling. It doesn't really hurt, but I feel alot of pressure and it's almost like I can feel my heartbeat in my teeth??? Especially the front teeth. My emotions have been all over the place also. The feeling that lingers the most is this feeling of sadness...like I am just biding my time with no real purpose. I am 44 and am a stay at home mom of 3 daughters (last one was a surprise baby at 42), so I am never physically alone...but yet I feel alone. I am hoping this is just a hormonal thing. Anyone have any success with natural supplements to ease the emotional rollercoaster?
Hi Valerie,
I have been having numbness in the teeth, my lips, and my face in general. It comes and goes, and I have no idea what could alleviate it. Sometimes my body is numb, and sometimes it is zinging.
Sadness is a part of the menopausal transition for many women. Over the past three years, I have tried numerous natural and pharmaceutical treatments, but I never found anything that worked. I can see that my moods come and go: sometimes I am peaceful, happy, and optimistic, but at other times I am deeply sad, irritable, angry, frustrated, sensitive to noises and smells and so on.
I do my very best to keep structure and normalcy in my life, and I am kind to myself, and I marvel at my strength to get through it all.
I am almost 52, and my periods have been highly erratic for the past two years. Last summer, I went 101 days without a period. Now, my period can take ages to start. I remind myself that the end is near, and I do my very best to cope with a difficult situation.
Where do you think you are in the menopausal transition?
Sending understanding your way:)

Hi Valerie! I am 51 and I also had three children but they are all adults now. Feeling alone is quite common when you have young children. My children’s dad was super busy with work so I was often alone with them. Socializing with other parents did help and getting involved with the school gave me a sense of purpose. I used to go to every single mother and toddler group in town.
I am sorry your teeth are giving you trouble. could it be that you are just feeling your pulse?
Please don’t feel sad, take care xx
