Yes the perimenopause club. I have been having symptoms the last 5 months which I believe I have mentioned. Some said thyroid some suggested peri. Finally could not take it anymore and went to the Dr's today. I have been so fatigued, heart palps (which I have had for years but have been worse since Aug of this year) sometimes totally pissed off moods, mini hot flash moments, sad, lack of sex drive and my favorite..... adrenalin rushes waking me up in the morning and exhausting me. Oh plus a couple major crying break downs that freaked me out. My poor husband. He has been supportive but finally said enough is enough I need to go see the doc. Now having my blood done tomorrow morning. We are doing a reg panel plus thyroid and hormones.
My blood pressure is good my heart does have PVC though which could be worse due to the stress I have put myself through thinking about this. I don't care what it is at this point but feel better that I am doing something finally. I am high anxiety type person so I am scared to go to the Dr's sometimes. They did give me xanax to help me not feel so out of control right now. Not a long term fix by any means. I know it is very addictive just something to help with the adrenalin and heart palps for now. Till we have answer's.
Any advice?
My friend said if it is peri to say thank you accept it and move on to a new life. Haha. She is my wiser older friend.
It could also be thyroid it does run in my family. But they also said my anxiety could just really be bad at this time and my body is feeding off the adrenalin and that is why I am having such a hard time kicking it this time around. Then they were talking prozac or something like that to help me get past this. Just a like 6 month term. don't like that.
I am 43 and can't gauge when peri would hit me because my mom was an alcoholic/drug user/not take good care of herself person plus a 2 pack a day smoker and I am complete opposite of her.
Am I babbling sorry!
