Hello, I just thought I'd list my symptoms to see if anyone is the same. I'm pretty fed up with this whole thing now, and it just seems to be getting worse, I wonder does it have a peak and then fade away gradually? Anyway, my worst symptoms are, first thing in the morning I have a horrible empty feeling, almost the same as morning sickness. I get it sometimes in the night too. I have IBS and of course that has gotten worse with this peri stuff. So digestive problems are a big one for me. Mostly the nausea, emptiness and IBS attacks. I have started hot flashes recently before I only had one or two a month if that. But now it's like every couple of hours there it is, now these don't bother me too much, they almost relieve my mind because I have given myself so many diseases lately with health anxiety. Night sweats I have had for ages, I wake up mostly every morning soaking wet. I also get cold shivers and trembling with those. I sometimes get that lack of sugar feeling too, where your hands and legs feel shaky and just on the verge of passing out. I have incredible anxiety attacks which often go into full blown panic attacks, which again makes my stomach feel really bad. I have thoughts of doom and gloom most days, worrying constantly about health, work, you name it. I have to travel to England in September but I'm already stressing greatly over that, re the money, who will look after our dogs, the flight, the traveling itself, everything, it just freaks me out every day. Oh did I mention the dizzy kind of flu feeling that sometimes happens too, for a day I often feel exactly like I have the flu then it's gone the next day. I had a bad bout of tension headache in August that lasted until October, every single day!! So I took lots of Excedrin and my stomach hasn't been the same since. You cannot win!! Crashing fatigue and general tiredness. Itching oh my God the itching can drive me crazy. That comes and goes too, along with my allergies that have gotten so much worse. Depression not so bad considering, I think my anxiety is the worst one of all, I so hate feeling like this. I think that's it for now, I just wanted to vent somewhere and get some comfort from my favorite people, allies in menopause world
thanks for listening
