Perimenopause starting?
Comments (4)Hi misspebbles, Seems like there is a huge variation when women go through menopause. Some do start in their late 30's. I started around 47. I would have been so perfectly happy to just forgo perimenopause. For some of us, it is filled with one surprise after another........and they're not the good kind of surprises! I remember during perimenopause, having sore breasts alot of the time at first. I was sort of surprised at this, but I guess its fairly common. My migraines got really bad during this time, but the good news is I don't have them anymore! I still have a couple of the visual auras a year, but no headache follows. So at least you might have that to look forward to (getting rid of your migraines). Good luck on your journey. Just make sure your seatbelt is fastened. :)...See MorePalpitations - how often?
Comments (14)Hi beauty, I think I'm finally out of perimenopause and IN menopause. At least I hope so. But I still have times of having symptoms. My OB/GYN said that we can have funky symptoms 10 years after we quit having periods. You don't want to know how long I had bad symptoms! But since you asked......I would say the worst of mine lasted from age 47 to age 56-57. I had absolutely horrible symptoms for a long time. I had every test in the book. When it started, I also developed fibromyalgia with irritable bowel syndrome, severe fatigue, reflux, buzzing legs and scalp and tons of palpitations. I actually started taking calcium when I quit taking hormone replacement and discovered that it really helped my diarrhea. You're always supposed to take magnesium with calcium, so I started that too. I take Caltrate Plus (since it has other minerals and vitamins). I take 600mg twice a day. Then I take about 400-500mg of magnesium. There have been times when I backed off the calcium/magnesium, and I would get more palpitations, so that made me think it was helping with them. They say we shouldn't take more than about 1,500mg of calcium a day, and it should be in divided doses. So you need to be taking more calcium. If it causes you constipation, you can go up on the magnesium (since magnesium can loosen your stools). Also....a low magnesium can cause palpitations. I had them horribly once and went to the ER, and the doc gave me IV magnesium and I didn't have any palpitations for 2 weeks after that. its hard, though, to get enough magnesium sometimes, since it can give you diarrhea. I like B12 because it helps with muscles twitches. Your heart's a muscle, so it might help there too. I don't drink alcohol. I just can't tolerate it. But it wouldn't surprise me if it gave you more palps. It makes me so mad when a doctor says he's never heard of women getting alot of palps during perimenopause, cause I've heard probably hundreds of women say that's when they got them. For many women, they get them when they lay down at night. Its funny you mentioned the prickly scalp. I used to get that all the time and it drove me nuts! If I leaned over, it would get all prickly. If I touched it, it would get prickly. Gosh I hated that!! I can't believe how many weird symptoms we can get during this time! And you're right. Even after I've had my heart checked out and tested, its still very frightening to get those palps. Mine thump very hard and make me cough. Isn't it fun being a woman??...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 MoreAm I perimenopausal?
Comments (1)Even though you are only 35 they say that Peri-menopausal symptoms can start as early as 15 years prior to the actual on set of it. My 30's were the worst. That is when all hell broke loose for me and now i chalk it up to hormones and peri symptoms. Many of your symptoms now are exactly what i am going through.. the adrenaline rushes, feeling as if you are going to pass out, shakiness. I remember in my 30's(i am 49 now)my breasts felt just like you described. They felt huge and painful and times. You can go to your OBGYN and get tested to find out for sure. Best of luck to you......See Moregreenwoman6877
