Symptoms List Options

[putinpop]

I'm 39. My list is not in any order. Some times all these symptoms seem to gang up on me, other times only a couple of the symptoms come out to play. They dont happen everyday, but fairly often. Each morning when I wake up, the first thought I have is what is today going to bring. It takes a lot to calm the panic in the morning just knowing it's going to be a battle. I have started taking a different approach and when I wake up in the morning, I say to myself. "Im OK, im not dying, this is just my body changing, SO BRING IT ON!"

Breast Tenderness (most of the time)
Change in breast/nipple appearence (at times, if you blink your eyes they change back)
Increase hair in places I do not want it
Hair thinning in places I do want it
Dry Mouth
Dry eyes
Dry Skin
Gas, BAD GAS at times!!
Bloating
Weird pelvic pains
Joints are achy
anxiety
headaches
Only able to sleep 4 - 5 hours at a time
night sweats
age spots (I do not know if they are still called this)
feet sweat
tips of my toes and fingers get cold (does not matter about the room temp)
Periods are longer (I actually have a more regular period then ever before)
internal shaking (This was the first website where I found this symptom listed, I'm glad not to be alone)
light headed
heart flutters
weird chest pains
fatique (at times)
Not really hot flashes, but upper chest and head feels warm and I am not running a temp.
weight is more centered in my body
just a over all change in the way my body looks

If I really paid attention to my body some of these symptoms started a couple of years ago, they were minor. But with in the past couple of months they have hit hard. And it scared me. I spend the month of Feb having every test done that could possibly be done. All the test came back very normal, except for slightly high cholesterol and blood sugar was a little raised after fasting, but still with in the norm. But it still can be very scary.

Internal tremors, anxiety, pvc's, tiredness, dry mouth, sometimes feel like my tongue isn't working properly when talking (could be related to dry mouth), sleep problems, vision problems, tiredness, fuzzy headed, memory problems. Did I mention tiredness? LOL, Jelly legs, shortness of breath, lightheadedness. I am sure there is more, all I can think of for now. OH AND TIREDNESS.

Dear 'putinpop'
All those symptoms you describe sound very typical of Menopause.Depending how you feel you are dealing with them will really depend on how severe and how badly they are affecting your life.I say this because I was completely Menopausal at 39.
You are definitely not alone.Every wonderful lady on this Site has had some or all of these symptoms.There are many Herbal supplements and vitamins which can help.Also HRT or BHRT,if you are interested

I really empathise with you as it can sometimes feel as if we are going completely mad and health anxities do not help .at all.
Please keep posting and sharing.
Meanwhile read and investigate.Menopause can be navigated with the least amount of torture with Meds. and support

Meanwhile wishing you all the best.

Best Wishes
Elizabeth.

Has anyone mentioned nausea yet????

I am going through bouts of terrible nausea and weight loss only to be followed by days of absolute hunger. Last month lost 8 pounds and gained it back within two weeks. Be great if I could have the weight loss without the nausea.....and even greater if it did not come back again!!! lol.
Wow.....I also get sleep paralysis when my anxiety is at its peak. The nights I get heart palps I know the sleep paralysis is a given. Very frustrating and scary at the same time.
