I just joined power surge today....It looks like a great website...I really need to talk to someone about what is happening to me and want to share this with the community of women out there....I have been in a menopause state for approximately five years...I am now 46 years old....I had bad ovarian cysts, horrible migraines when I lost a lot of weight on Atkins (over 50 pounds)....I am now on a great diet (Dr Johnson's up day down day diet...one only eats every other day) which has helped curb the hot flashes, migraines and the depression...(
A(lthough I still take an antidepressant Effexor XR)

Since starting this diet...I am starting to "tune in" to the universe...I know this sounds crazy but I actually get this tingling feeling all over my body and head (similar to when one spends a lot of time meditating) I am trying to learn to let go!

Its euphoric sometimes...not always but a good deal of the time...

I know there are so many bad things about menopause and I have been through a lot of them but I feel it is almost a "spiritual quest" or pathway that I am going through and its not that bad...(although for three years it was horrid but it seems I have past the worst of it)

Anyone else have this mind tingling..like they are a tuned radio to the universe?

I am wondering if what you are experiencing hasn't more physical cause in lowering estrogen or even blood sugar issues? I have had a head spacy, fuzzy, at times floating feeling which could be interpreted as a tingling...also vibrating sensation...I am not sure if I am more tuned to the universe as much as I am tuned into the internal universe....seems to be peri issues or other endocrine issues.....

Twilight,

I am also in Michigan, so a big Michigan welcome!

I agree with Slowbear that you're probably describing physical symptoms that are common to peri. The tingling sensation is very familiar, along with head stuffiness, spaciness, etc.

I hope you keep coming back to PS for comfort, advice, and just a listening ear when you need it. The ladies here are truly wonderful!

Take care,

Deb
