: : I have not been here in a while, but when I read this I had to respond. I hope you read this. I went through all this. It drove me crazy. The throat thing ,awlful. I was 38 when this all started. I went to dr. after dr. they tried to get me to take tranqullizers:,a vacation away from my husband, take a lover. my test all came back pretty good. But I knew something was wrong.AI slight thyroid disfunction showed up. So they figured that was the problem.I wanted to know why this was happening. no answers. It was very difficult for me to find a dr. to treat me with hrt...I did the research and figured out that it was menopause. I started on the pills and it changed my life. Many drs. just don't understand. We can have early menopause without anything showing up on tests, but it sure shows up in our bodies. I'm 57 now and for me it has been no picnic. Hang in there and read up. Good luck!

: Kay, I am 38 and have alot of different things going on with my body and sometimes I think that there is something serious going on. I have had 3 or 4 major hot fashes with other weird symptons, like my legs tingling when I was feeling hot and feeling clamy. I have heart palpitations sometimes, I do drink caffeine, I have some anxiety related attacks, but think maybe all this is from stressful situation? I also have noticed my hair doesn't feel clean even hours after I have washed it. It just seems like everything is sorta falling apart and I am only 38!!!!

: Hi. I am so relieved to see something about throat contractions!! This one is flipping me
out. Hot flashes, extreme anxiety just short of full blown panic attacks. Doc says I'm bi-polar.
Maby some but I know it's hormones. Have been on natural hormones estriol - that worked
briefly. Then I started using estridol and went nuts - anxiety - that's when the throat
contractions started. Hot flashes are very frequent. I've decided to use the synthetics.
some relief before I get commited. Back to the throat thing. First it felt like I had something
stuck in my throat-then it became like a big tense feeling often. Anxiety? Hormonal related?
Then I think I got the flu. Talk about docs not knowing what's going on. Am I dying? I'll let you
all know if the non-natural drugs make a difference. I'm 43.
