perimenopause and body pulsations?
Comments (2)Hi Catherinet, Thank you for replying. What you're saying makes perfect sense to me. You wouldn't be in the medical field, would you? ;) I have been trying to rule out what else could cause these feelings, and had questioned my doctor about the aneurysm possibility a few months ago. After examining me, he quickly dismissed it. I do have complicating issues, such as being on Prednisone (a steroid) for 6 years due to polymyositis (an autoimmune disease). Since that has improved, I've been trying to taper off the Prednisone, and this is where it gets messy. My adrenal glands have been "asleep" as the prednisone took over all this time. So now that I've begun perimenopause, there is no "back up" system to support hormones and stress. To make matters worse, Prednisone also affects the hypothalamus---the hypothalamus controls all the hormones and regulates menopause--- it's a vicious circle. Like I said, this ("heartbeat feeling in unusual places") started the same time my period stopped. Not only is it scary, it makes it hard to sleep. My heartrate is normal(around 78bpm)while this is happening. It stays a few weeks, varying in intensity, then seems to ease off. I hadn't really noticed it again until about 10 days ago. But I got my period yesterday for the first time in 7 months. Having said all that, I think I see a connection here. Another thing that happens along with this... frequent urination. Then that passes too after about a week or so. Makes me wonder if this is a decrease in vasopressin or something, as my adrenal glands are compromised. I feel irritable and uncomfortable in my own skin, if that makes sense. You asked what supplements I am taking. I just began flaxseed oil. Could it be a deficiency in magnesium? Are there any others also on Prednisone and going through menopause dealing with anything similar?...See MoreNausea during menopause
Comments (1)Hi catmandu, I had a fair amount of nausea during perimenopause. I think it was my kind of hot flash. Have you tried ginger tea? That's supposed to help, although it didn't help me much. I also developed GERD during perimenopause, and that can definitely cause nausea. Be sure to take probiotics and eat yogurt too....See More37 and pretty sure in perimenopause
Comments (2)Hello, I'm so glad I found this forum, I've been reading some old posts and finding so much of myself in them! I'm 44 and all of my problems started when I went off of birth control pills after being on them consistently for most of my adult life. I launched into hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations, terrible anxiety, prickly skin, muscle pains, and my concentration and memory became so foggy I thought I was getting alzheimers. My periods became erratic, and I'd skip one only to have two later on. Sometimes light, then othertimes so heavy that I thought I was losing too much blood. I went to doctor after doctor but none of them felt that it had anything to do with hormones. And none of them thought that at 42 that I was going through menopause. They said I was having anxiety problems and recommended a psychiatrist!!!!! I finally found a naturopath and ended up on five different herbs, and began using a natural progesterone cream every day. Now, the night sweats are gone, hot flashes come once in a while, my periods are still whacky, but the anxiety is almost non existent. And I usually sleep thru the night. I would be interested to know more about amino acid treatment. I still feel foggy in the head alot, and forget names and things that I am doing sometimes. I hope that people are still writing to this group, I sure need the help. Hope to talk more with you more mprw1. Cat...See MorePerimenopause - the other symptoms...
Comments (5)Thanks so much for the info Paula & Tina, I seriously thought I was losing it - and my poor husband, he's afraid to say anything for fear he'll set me off. It would be comical if I didn't feel so terrible. My next question is, if all of this is caused by the change in hormones should I see about going on birth control? I still get my period regularly (miss one about once a year) although they are short (1-2 days max). I have NEVER been on the pill and am seriously thinking that if it can even out my hormones it could make this whole transition much easier. Any thoughts on this? Also, are there any tests I can have my GYN do to determine exactly what hormones are out of whack the most? All I keep hearing is they won't do anything until you;ve stopped having your period for a solid year (official menopause)....See Moregreenwoman6877
