Hello there, another jolly post from me!
6 years post-meno
Im having such bad nights, waking up tearful and exhausted and just crying with relief that the night is over.
The symptoms im having are so strong, they feel to me like heart attacks or strokes. I dont have health anxiety so i know they aren't. I just ride them but they actually feel like im dying, no joke. Sometimes i dont know how im still alive in the mornings!
I get a feeling like ive been poisoned all over, my muscles seem to be crying out, it feels like the drug withdrawal scene in trainspotting. Is this meno? I also get a cold, numb feeling down both arms like im having a stroke. This has lingered today, can still feel it. Pinched nerve? Also cold pain in chest, right through to the back. A pain over my left groin, also ive got greatly altered sense of smell and taste, i can hardly taste anything. Oral surgeon said it's menopause.
I dont take any medication whatsoever apart from a herbal blend from a medical herbalist (lime blossom, liquorice, ashwaghanda, rhodiola) i started to feel better, but last week experienced weird mood swings, almost manic in the mornings then crashing fatigue in afternoon, then back to dark depressed mood. it's awful. I'm not bipolar either but it feels like a mild version.
The symptoms have been going on for years, it's just when they get this bad i need to tell someone. i've tried every self help thing you can think of!
I dont have anyone to talk to about this, friends & partner have had enough of me mentioning anything. GPs are useless. I too had a bad reaction years ago to Seroxat and i will not take any more antidepressants as I dont want to risk that again.
