Hi all,
I hope everyone is feeling well today. I have a question and I am not sure where to post it, I haven't gotten a grasp on how this website really works yet, there seem to be forums that I have no idea how to find so I apologize if my posts are frustrating anyone if they are in the wrong place.
I am trying to get ahold on if there is a monthly pattern to all of this or if it is just willie nillie all over the place. What I mean is sometimes I feel worse and have more severe symptoms before my period, sometimes during them and sometimes after, such as this month, I only had a one day period this time and then just some light spotting here and there, does period length and amount have anythng to with how severe the other symptoms of going through all of this are? During the past three months it actually has been all month long that I have felt crappy...whenever, no pattern, day, night...just never know what to expect for the day or night anymore. Sometimes I awake with morning anxiety and heart symptoms and sometimes it is at night. Sometimes I can go to sleep feeling normal and content only to awake 2 hours later with the heart beating out of my chest and anxiety pumping through my veins. It is exhausting as you all know. It used to be that I knew when I could expect to feel crummy and then after my period I knew that I had a good week or two ahead of me and now I just don't know.
Is there any hormonal signifigance to the day of the month in which we feel our symptoms? If I feel more symptoms prior my period what does that mean hormonally? How about during and how about after our periods? Today is my 5th cycle day and I only bled on the first cycle day and last night and this morning I hav fast heavy heartbeats off and on with intense anxiety...what would that indicate hormonally?
Here are my symptoms: Dizzy, headaches, anxiety with and without full attacks, feeling weird like I have just gotten off of the spinning tea cup ride bit nothing is spinning I just feel strange, heavy feeling or pressure in head like there is cotton in my head or something, rining ears, fast, heavy heartbeat and palps.
I have had a full bloodwork done and I have seen a cardiologist, wore a 24 hour holter monitor and am having more testing done during September.
I am anemic, low B12 and D3 and low thyroid also. I am taking Iron supplements, liquid D3 and B12 shots,multi vitamins, hylands nerve tonic and bachs rescue remedy for stress and anxiety. I am waiting to start some form of thyroid treatment until my iron level comes up and I am not looking forward to that because I read it causes anxiety and rapid heartbeat...HELLO!!
Here are my stresses: I am 46 years old, I have had 4 c-sections and a tubal after the last one 17 years ago. For the first time I missed two periods at the begining of this year and since then they have been my normal 25 days apart but heavier except for this month. We looking to purchase our first home and have been looking full time since April, we have one month left on out current rental lease, my youngest daughter ran off and married a not so great guy so our family dynamics has been strained and she is expecting her first baby in September.....in Tennessee! I live in Florida and it has been very stressful for me to worry about her being pregnant and married to a mean and sarcastic jerk and now she is going to give birth 12 hours away from mama! She wants me to drive up and help her for a few weeks both before and after the baby comes which would be now and I am NOT looking forward to this at all! I really do not like the guy and I really do not want to be so ar from home for fear of panic attacks and feeling so dizzy that I will need the help instead of giving the help.
Other daughter recently moved in with her fiance and is not happy in her job at all and is having her own panic attacks...son lives at home is a firefighter and just became a reserve deputy sheriff in a bad part of the city so I worry about his safety all the time..he says all of this is in my head and I am just "looking for" symptoms...and our youngest son is still in highschool doing homeschooling. Our dog has sever allergies and is constantly ill...my husband is nice enough and he tries to sympathize but he has had an affair in the past at which point I did not even know where he lived for 3 months! Bleh! Oh and my Ex and the father of my first three children was an extremely abusive man that I had to flee and hide from. My 80 year old mother lives across the ocean and is just like the non-caring neighbor lady, polite and friendly but not really there for me.
I just really don't like any of this and now all of these miserable symptoms are going on...I probably should see a therapist.
I just wish I knew if my symptoms were hormonal, or from the anemia and low thyroid or if it is all in my head from stress...I guess it is all three. Well what are we all supposed to do to survive all of this?! Forget the terrible twos and all that other EASY stuff we face, this perimenopause and menopause is a NIGHTMARE and someone should warn us when we are younger so we will know what to expect! lol, I look at young, sassy women now and just think to myself "yeah, you just wait!".
SO as usual my post is too long and in the wrong place but that seems to be my speciality!
Any guidance on how to use this website to find other forums and any advice or opinions or insight on the symptoms that I brought up in the post will be greatly appreciated!!
Blessings,
Meg

Hi megopause,
Have no stresses as you are going through,but feel everything you are saying.
there seems to be no pattern to any of this,although I have started a diary trying to track something of this bizzare journey!!
I have many symptoms like yours and there seems also no rhyme nor reason to how they come along,although if a lighter period symptoms seem worse in between and vice versa!!
Have most of what you are saying and more
My Dr this week after my latest bloods came back NORMAL again said alot of women have symptoms long before showing up in bloods.
I,m 43 and keep hoping every month it won,t appear as this is just the most bizzare scary bewildering thing I have endured.
You aren,t alone Mego
Bless you Kath

Boy, oh boy, you sure have a lot on your plate. When I get overwhelmed I treat things like a brand new 1000 peice puzzle. I break out things into managable piles. Those bland ones that I can't do anything about right now, those grey areas that will sort themselves out, those distinctive areas that might be easy to solve and then those bright colorful ones that might be good to get off my back. Ultimately, its going to take a while to solve and it's not going to happen overnight but breaking your issues apart may make it less overwhelming for you. If you could solve one right now, what would it be?

This seems like very good advice.
You certainly do have a lot on your plate right now. Try and take one day at a time. Sorry I can't offer any great advice Megopause but just wanted to send you ((((hugs and prayers)))) to help get you through this difficult time.

The above advice is very good to tackle some of the many problems/worries you face, when you look at all that at once it is no wonder you are overwhelmed.
when I am not sure where to post a topic I always just go to the very first topic "am I peri" (I think that is what it is called) but really don't worry about it just go to where you think it fits the best.
I have been tracking my journey for almost 4 years, especially when my cycles went irregular which would be 3 years now.....sure there are some weeks I have slacked, but for the most part I have been pretty good about it. I can say this about patterns.....when I look back through my notes and from memory, I had a slow progression downward...things getting worse, more symptoms showing up. There were for sure patterns in the beginning when I really noticed things changing and started writing it down....I remember 2 years ago or so I could tell you to the day when certain symptoms would show up .......I literally had it written down so as to plan around it...some would say since I expected them, they showed up, but really my mind isn't strong enough as to bring on relentless palpitations, the only way they chilled was if I layed down. It seemed like I would do a certain pattern for a few mo. at least and then it would change and then it would do that for awhile and change....I tried to track everything becuase I made every effort to work around my bad days and if I knew somewhat ahead of time I could better make appt. , plan outings and such........but as time went the symptoms just became more erratic and so did my period....now I have no pattern whatsoever and haven't since about Jan. , it is anyone guess what will happen even in the same day, forget that.. same hour...I can be fine in the morning and panic later.... some of the symptoms that were really bad 2 years ago have lessened, while others have become almost constant i.e. dizzy/spacey/brainfog, this symptom is maddening and I have had it almost non stop for about 1 1/2 mo. now, not that it wasn't part of the equation before....just not this bad.
I would just be very good at tracking it for awhile and you may find certain things happen at certain times, but don't get to confortable if you do find a pattern as I am sure it will change just when you think you know what is going on. HUGS Mikki

Kath,
These symptoms really stink don't they?! I am exhausted from all the fretting, if there were a pattern at least we could hunker down and prepare for the bad days and relax on the good days knowing we would feel good ALL day and not just minute by minute changes! Thanks for taking the time to respond, it helps a lot.
Blessings,
Meg

Oh wow, this is a very new way of thinking about this for me! I am going to sit down and write out my puzzle pieces today and take a good look at the different pieces and sort them out, I think this will help me very much, it's a wonderful idea thank you and thanks so much for taking the time to share this with me!

Yes! The dizzy spacey brainfog is horrible! I have it everyday all day for about two months now and I really really want it to stop!
I was begining to realize that there may not be a pattern anymore and your post pretty much has me convinced to just take it minute by minute...wow, this is something else this "change" of life is really quite the change!
Thank you Mikki!!
