Hi ladies,
I made it through the usual pre menstrual Hell I experience before my period. Then comes the heavy bleeding, nausea, extreme fatigue and over emotional thoughts. This time I am now 5 or 6 days into my period. Its pretty much the end, but I am soooooo uptight, overemotional and I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I have not done anything different from my usual routine. I even went to the gym to try to work off some of this excess wiredness. I feel worse. What could this be? Has any one else experienced this? HELP....grrrlllllll

I get this often but it's part of my meno (hysterectomy a few years back). I get these surges of adrenalen and it drives me nuts. It triggers a fight or flight kind of feeling and I have learned to simply go with it. The more I fight it the higher it builds. While I am in the midst of it it is enough to drive me bonkers but I keep telling myself it will pass and busy myself with something I enjoy so it's not so noticable.

Debra, this is so interesting. I was sitting here thinking the same thing not too long ago. I am on my 2nd day of period and I feel very wired myself, which is unusual. I also had a hot flash not too long ago and it is cool down here for South Florida today (tomorrow will be even colder close to 40 degrees). Anyway, I got this feeling of being irritated, wired, kept going back for seconds/third to eat. Weird day today. Seems like the slightest things are ticking me off also. So you are definitely not alone on that one.

Thanks ladybugs, I guess I will just try to "go with it" even though I feel half nuts right now. It weirds me out so much that I feel like I am going to have some sort of seizure.....I hope never to experience that.........

Have you been under a lot of stress? It could be adrenal fatigue. It's not unusal to get this as we go into menopause. Probably because we are physically stressed with less sleep etc... but you might want to try supporting your adrenals.

I was told sleep hygiene, clean diet and good vitamin B complex...would help. Also exercise should be simple walking or quiet yoga.. no aerobics or running or anything jarring to the system. mine has finally gotten much better but I went on BHRT and I beleive that helped the most.

I remember getting off from work and it was as though my body would explode if I couldn't get home right NOW.. then once I got home I just sat there... often times with my coat on and my purse still on my arm. It was crazy. I felt like I was crazy. I would sit there for about 20 minutes before I felt normal again.

I FEEL FOR YOU DEB I USE TO GET SO RESTLESS I COULDN'T SIT DOWN TO EAT DINNER I HAD TO PACE WHEN I WENT PLACES, IT DROVE ME NUTS AND I HAD THE WEIRD THOUGHTS IT WAS CRAZY, I STILL GET PERIODS TOO I WAS ON HRT AT THE TINE AND GRADUALLY TAPERED OFF OF THEM AND WENT ON ZOLOFT, AND SINCE THAT I BEEN DOING OKAY, I OCASSIONALLY GET A TINY ANXIOUS BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT. ANXIETY DOES ALOT TO THE BODY. I WISH YOU LUCK YOUR NOT ALONE. HUGS

I have noticed this happening to me as well. It has been going on since Thanksgiving. I thought that I was stressing out but now I see that it is not just me. Thank God!

Hugs to you,
Jeaninne
