Yes, loads after health scare 6 months ago. My body feels like electricity going through it and it is exhausting.  Mine goes up my spine and spreads.  Many on this forum have similar. I've been so bad lately I am quite scared because I can't function when it happens.  I am trying different supplements but not much improvement.  It's not a good feeling is it?

I am post meno. Had this non stop since Xmas Eve. It's very intense through body. Every part of me is shaking.  What supplements are you trying?

Hi. Starflower oil, evening primrose,  various vitamins,  a herb called cleavers,  some tablets with 5 HTP . Not much success.  Considering St John's Wort. The feelings are REALLY  intense. It's  awful,  my quality of life has gone.

Hi Suzy hopefully some ladies will advise us later this evening. I'm on hrt Femseven Conti half patch as trying to wean myself off. But was on a full patch when it started. I take low dose Vitamin D3, Menopace Plus started recently again and spray magnesium oil morning and night. Also taking Metatone tonic to boost appetite as losing too much weight.

My medication causes 'zaps', apparently electricity shooting through. Makes me to 'oh!' and is over.  Adrenaline for me is like hot water through my veins.

Yep. I get this too. Feels like electricity, almost pulsing.  Have been told by GP it's due to anxiety / cortisol/adrenaline overload. Interesting how this comes up in the dark winter months though. I feel very daylight starved as it has been a really cloudy Dec/Jan where I live. I take Calcium / Magnesium supplements plus Multivit + Iron. May look into Vit D.

Am in very late peri and nearly 49y, and not (yet) on HRT. I have had this to a much larger degree earlier on in 2018. I still get some jitters, tingling limbs and also, as some described in other posts very well, feeling like having swallowed a vibrating mobile phone. Some of this being due to cortisol surges and anxiety does make sense to me. I have made a conscious effort to "keep calm" no matter what crazy symptoms creep up but this is often easier said than done. Brisk walking and exercise has helped with for me.
I hope you will find the will calm down over time and wishing all  the best. Anna

I have this. Not every day but usually in periods of a week or two and then maybe a week or two off, as it were. Have tried everything (apart from HRT and AD's). Best management for this and associated symptoms is sleep (the more jitters, the less sleep, the less sleep, the more jitters...) and walking just as AG says. Did three of my walking loops yesterday - 8am, 8pm and 11pm!! The air and the exercise and just being outside help enormously.

I'm so glad your dr told you what it was, I have had it all over Christmas after going through a very stressful time and the perimenpause. It's like when you have a shock, well that's how a I feel it anyway. Wish it would go away..

Yes it's a totally draining feeling,  I can't put into words how terrible it is, total panic mode that lately with me is going on for 12 hours a time.

Yep I get jitters in the solar plexus area and chest - hideous   vibrating   nervous   panicky   feelings - the same as experienced during/after bad life events - feeling as if something terrible is about to happen/doom.

Post-meno and making yet another attempt to come off HRT - the adrenaline/cortisol surges/panic is beyond hideous.  As far as I know it's the nervous system and ovaries responding to low estrogen (or fluctuations). 

The only thing that calms it a bit is walking/swimming etc/fresh air and deep abdomen breathing - but often feel too hideous to do any of that. I've never found one herb or alternative that works.

No easy solutions, just another "me too" here - Menopause Hell.

Yes me too! Slightly less now I'm using a estradot patch, at one point I though there was something seriously wrong with me :(

Thank you Nightowl.  I have had this for over 3 weeks now. When I inhale I feel it skip too. So fed up and anxious
