Perimenopause symptoms - Menopause Message Board

I have so many symptoms that sometimes I wonder how I know if they are hormone related or something else. The hot flushes/night sweats, aches and pains, dizziness, pain in mouth and face and nausea can all be other things and being that I suffer badly with panic disorder it is difficult to distinguish what is what. Do others of you feel the same?

It's going on 4 years with the same symptoms of hot flashes to face, hands, feet and neck area, dizzy, my whole body aches and unbalanced feeling, my period have gone from 5 days to 3 days. I go back to the endocrinologist June 6th to rule out any other possibilities that can mimic menopause. I have been through everything from heart monitor, god I cannot even tell you had many blood/urine tests I have gone through and not to mention anxiety pills which have not worked. I hope to have answers soon! Good Luck!

I can relate and it is nice to see I am not alone. I am 51 and still getting my period. the last few months I have experienced horrible headaches, backaches and nausea like you wouldn't believe. No feeling of wanting to eat all all. This is always a week before and during. I have been to my doctor and I get so discouraged because they really don't know. I know it is all hormonal. Does anyone else have this and and are there any vitiamins that can help? Alyce

I understand! i have so many symptoms that I too do not always know if they are peri or not. I suffer from anxiety that I know is caused by my worry about symptoms. It's just so hard to control it. We are not alone in this. I only wish that some doctor would specialize in peri and menopause and real research would be done on this. T.

You have seen the list of 35 right? If not the address is below...I fell for you guys just starting, I have been through all this for 11 years...it is awful for sure. I think the anxiety is the worst right up there with the morning dizziness. I hope it is better for you all
