I totally am in hell. I’m 44 and I have 47 symptoms of perimenopause. Started around age 37. I’m absolutely miserable 😭😭😭 the depression and anxiety is crippling. I cry all day and I just want my old life back.
🫂
I’m so sorry to hear that I started having full symptoms at 44 but went to my gyno right away I hope you’re getting treated. Will be praying for you all suffering.
Same!!! Please tell me you found help?!? 🙏
Thank you for standing up to women who shame us for suffering. It took me 6 months of stand up to my therapist who kept telling me I needed to “try harder” to befriend my “rage outs”. I felt like I was suddenly crazy and this woman, who had no symptoms when she had menopause, made me feel like I was failing in controlling my anger/irritability when it was something more physiological. 🤯🤬😡
32:58 Thank you for this reaction!❤ I've been doing sports all my life and I eat healthier than most people I know. I follow a balanced diet that avoids extremes. I always thought I could manage my health as best I could. There are some things I can't change, and I've lived with certain symptoms, some for the last 10 years. I used to think, "That's okay, it's not that bad. My mother has it worse." But since turning 40, I've been very surprised by the significant changes. I can no longer accept doctors saying, "That's normal!" Having to pee 20 times a day is not normal! Etc.
I just turned 48, and had my last kid at 40, and the changes started 3 years later that I began to notice. I really thought was going crazy bc of the brain fog, like couldn't articulate to communicate, was so frustrating 😢
Then came the frozen shoulder, the insomnia, night sweats 😓 The last to come was the horrible depression, even started to think that my kids would be better off without me.
Even though my periods still are super regular, I began to have migraine and spotting during ovulation time. When I told my OBGYN, he looked at me like I was crazy.
By the grace of God a video turned out about perimenopause, by pure curiosity watched it and it made click to all my symptoms, checked all the boxes. Doctors like you gave me so much hope and peace of mind, the information and tools, now I'm doing so much better. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️
This woman is so passionate for women. 💪🏽Shut them down girl! 😂 Thank you for all you do. You’re helping me sooo much! 🙏🏽
Everyone is blaming my issues on my previous deployments and the deployment related stress, however i have a strong feeling my hormone levels are messed up leading to my issues. I struggle with terrible sleep, migraines, extreme tiredness, feeling sad and feeling hyper sensitive. I pressed my GP for HRT and the first one made all the symptoms worse which was an oral mix of estrogen and progesterone . Now they changed it to just progesterone with a little implant in my arm and tbh im at day 10 now but only had 1 migraine day since and felt a bit positive for the first time in years. Not sure its my holy grail yet but thanks to your videos i at least feel confident enough to advocate for myself ❤
I'm 45. I had a mental breakdown in January. I started having panic attacks doing anything. I was told I'm borderline bipolar depression. I had a hysterectomy at 41. Kept my ovaries so I have no idea about periods. I was put on lamotrigne and buspar. But I still panic and cry on a dime. I actually don't sweat I just overheat. I literally cried watching you say I'm not crazy. Dry mouth dry eyes. I have lupus diagnosed at 42. I'm constantly using lotion. God I need this.
I’m so sorry you went through that 😢. It seems archaic that we aren’t told this info sooner - I’ve been told I have everything from lupus to arthritis to depression and borderline personality disorder and was given methotrexate which really destroyed my health. 🤯😢
Wow eye opener oh my goodness thank you so much for educating us women!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Totally dismissed by my ob about my symptoms and was told I needed a sexual therapist and regular therapist. I was appalled because HE defined menopause by hot flashes. He also said it was due to my thyroid. I don’t get hot flashes that often nor do I get night sweats on the regular due to I am on gabapentin for rls.
I'm right there with you.
I called 911 thinking I was dying
And had no reason to think that.
They thought I was crazy😅❤❤❤
@@queenblue9988 Hi, from the reading i have done menopause can have huge effects on your sexuality. With your hormones falling off a cliff your sex drive can be nonexistent. Vaginal dryness can cause extreme pain during intercourse . Lube can help , but estrogen receptors are everywhere including your bladder. Tissues of the bladder and vagina can thin and weaken causing something causing genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Over time this can become VERY painful because it also affects the labia . Sitting and walking( or riding a bicycle ) can become very painful . My alternative medicine doc gave me a script for topical vaginal estrogen. This is a LOW dose topical estrogen that is safe even for women with estrogen positive cancer. Odds are you don't need a sex therapist ( or any therapist) you need a physician who is educated about menopause. After the damage caused by the Women's Health Initiative it can be hard to find a doc who has been correctly informed about menopause. Best wishes.
My OB/GYN advised partial hyst age 40 for heavy periods with clots, low H&H, so I did it. Wish I would have heard of you back when I lived in your area. You would have saved me years of suffering. Starting HRT this week, at 54.
43 years old: heart palpitations, wake up at 2am, night sweats, 4am, anxiety...
Same!
Here too!
Yes me too
I don’t get palpitations but I get everything else you describe, but night sweats only for a few days before my period. And this is a new symptom.
These are definitely symptoms of perimenopause. I'm 69 but in my late 30s I had palpitations and went to a cardiologist who couldn't find anything. Figured out later it was perimenopause.
You won me over when you stood up for other women by shutting down that rude comment.
I try to take the high road, but it gets hard.
I start HRT tomorrow, I’m so nervous but I’m 49, haven’t had a period in 3 months, sky high anxiety, can’t sleep, irritated all the time, sweating and hot flashes more frequently , brain fog,joints hurt when I walk😮 ughh I’m over it😂
I’m praying that HRT works for me 🎉
How are you feeling now 8 months later ?
Sigh...who else is silently wishing you were born male??😔 Grateful for all this info, but I have to admit that it's hard to watch (for me). I do appreciate you Dr for informing us🙏 Better to be informed than ignorant💪
We have the tools to make this a wonderful transition for you. Learn more at our blogs at www.galvestondiet.com
And you are right about the hysterectomy thing. My doctor offered me a hysterectomy for bad periods at age 37, and I told him no way. I told him I don’t have cancer and surgery should be a last resort. Then I went online and found support groups, started researching on my own, changed my diet, changed my exercise, and started supplementing and my symptoms did improve, my periods became more regular
So glad I came back to this video and read your comment. I am almost 53. I have struggled with fibroids for about five years I only have four but the biggest wanna sit in on my uterine lining which is caused heavier periods, iron deficiency anemia which leads to shortness of breath iron infusion therapy I’ve even had to have blood transfusions. I have scheduled a hysterectomy for July 28, however my cycles have been better this year and seems like I should be headed to menopause soon so I’m thinking about canceling the surgery.
@@tashabrown8301 I am 50 and going through the same thing. Just had a D&C with Ablation. 5 iron transfusions. It’s been a mess but I think I’m going to end up having a hysterectomy even though I do t want to. Just curious if you went through with it or did you cancel?
This was encouraging! “You are not crazy.” Thank you. I’ve felt that way.
Thank you. Just found your video. I'm 53 and was wondering what's wrong with me. I thought that at 50 I was automatically going to be in menopause
So I was confused when my period didn't stop. No one would ever explained anything and it was scary. Also thought I was having a heart attack so I got checked but they said my heart was ok then you said heart palpitations. I was so relieved. All of the other symptoms make sense now too. I was scared I was falling apart. Now I know that I'm not dying. The same thing happened to me as a preteen. Nobody told me what was going on with my body before my cycle hit. I send you much ❤️❤️❤️ and gratitude.
I lost my trucks keya the other day, and i cant find the dang spare keys. Thats just one example of my fog. My husband and i got in a huge argument over my forgetfulness. Im a nightmare 2 weeks before my period and 2 weeks after. I dont get a break from the moodiness. Its getting worse.
Yes,dry tongue and lips,dry eyes,paintful joints,brain fog,hair loss,fatigue,depression,friquent urination,hand numbness,44 years
Thank you so much for providing this information. I went to my family doctor and GYN complaining of new odor. I spent way too much money on tests only to find out there is “nothing wrong with me”. I am in peri-menopause and thought that this could have something to do with my problem and I was told , no! 😳 I felt like I was going crazy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping women take control of their health. You are changing lives! ♥️
You are awesome ❤. Thank you soooo much!!
Thank you so much 😊🦋💐
I love you Dr. Haver
Thank you sooo much for your honesty
Thank you!
Almost 55. Last period in 2022. Fatigue, belly fat, hot flashes, sleeping about 2-3 hours at a time and twice in 24 hours means less than 7 a day since around 51.

Thank you so much for your cause.
This is fantastic content, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.
This has helped me so much, I feel so much better hearing a professional experienced doctor naming off all of my sudden changes ... such a relief and reassurance. Bless you!
Thank you so much for all your great advice. I feel empowered!
I love love you. I’m moving back to Texas so I can see you and get the help I need. I started crying. I needed to see this!
Such a great video! Thank you. Love your energy!
You are so welcome!
I’m so glad I found this doctor on this site. I feel like she mentions every symptom I have. I have been to so many doctors, they do the blood work and tell me that everything is normal. I feel like crap every day. I wish this doctor had her practice in AZ.
Thank you for being so very very genuine. Rare to see a doctor empowering women through this video.
Omg, I thought I had brain damage or early onset Alzheimer’s (I am 44). So glad to know it is just brain fog. Also, my sleep sucks, waking up frequently and occasional night sweats
Hi , I've recently started to take a magnesium supplement before bed , it's helped me out ..may help you for sleep 😴? X
Omg, me too! Thought I had early dementia or was thinking that the world has changed so much in our lives are so busy that my brain just can't keep up and it's too tired. Good luck with everything ❤️
Thank you so much for the information and everything you do as I felt like I was going crazy, no real strong symptoms started for me until I was 53 years old.
I am now 54 and in full blown perimenopause and it’s hell !
I’m in CT and do have a very supportive Boyfriend, Family, Friends and wonderful OB GYN ! Hoping for some relief before I turn 55 !!! ❤
Thank you so much for educating women on peri menopause! You are a blessing to me!I’m 48 and starting to have symptoms of peri menopause. Definitely will be making changes to my diet to help elevate symptoms
Thank you so much for this enlightening video!
You are so welcome!
Wow. So glad I discovered your channel. I love the passion in your practice...u seem to be an amazing doctor. Wish I lived in Texas!!
Wow, thank you!
Me too I’m 50 and experiencing these symptoms.
Yes!!!! I’ve had two surgeries this past year for endometriosis that was really bad that spread throughout my body and tooth decay has been huge as well as dry mouth and all the symptoms that you are naming I am having!
Thank you so much 😊 Can't wait to watch more of your info to help me.
You are so welcome!
Wow you are amazing! I wish my women’s health provider was as passionate about educating as you are. I’ve had to be persistent to advocate for myself but how much can you really advocate for yourself without being educated on the right questions to ask your provider. The education is very important but no one wants to take the time to educate women. Thank you for taking the time to empower women to take charge of their bodies.
I am so happy to come across your video. For 4 years I have been telling my PCP and Gyno that something is off, test always come back normal. All the symptoms you mention, I've am currently having. I keep saying, could it be perimenopause and alway get told no I am too young. I just turn 41, after many complaints my gyno finally agree that I am going through perimeopause but refuse to give me any cream or treatment. Very frustrating.
Thanks for sharing this important information I will be 46 years young September 25TH and I am determined to thrive during this period of my life💖much love Cleveland Ohio 🥰
LOVE your fighting spirit! Thank you for advocating and standing up for the natural process!
You are so welcome
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
My anxiety is bad and YOU are one of 3 physicians I would allow to treat me. I’m so glad I found your channel and hope you’re still practicing in Texas becuz I may just be relocating there this year.
Thank you so much for all the information. I believe I started going through perimenopause- I’ve suddenly started gaining a lot of weight with no lifestyle changes and fatigue has increased. I read your book and have already gotten down the Intermittent Fasting. I know it will be difficult to change my diet as in eliminating sugar, but I am very excited at the thought of being able to lose this belly fat and have more energy and just feel better.
Hi watching from Trinidad in the Caribbean 🇹🇹. A BIG THANK YOU for taking the time to give valuable data and information. A great help to me

Lord have mercy....why aren't doctors telling us this? I'm so glad I found you on TH-cam
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for being there doc! I’m 41, and have certain symptoms. Been a while. So glad I can stop stressing out and try to enjoy this new phase of my life!!
Yes, I’m not crazy 😝
I loved your response to the hater comment!!! Well said!!! 🙌🏼👏🏻
I just did that Australiasan score sheet and got a 33!! Holy crap. Time for some more blood work. 😳
You are just amazimg! I'm a menopausa specialist front Brazil living in Florida and helping Brazilians and portuguese speakers around the World remotely.
I"m such a fan of yours. Sorry i never have the proper time to comment your talks appropriately.
Your thoughts about everything about menopause is perfect! Your beliefs about unnecessary procedures, use of implants. and women talking others down about hormonal treatments is absolutely perfect! Tysm for sharing so much!
I would love to meet you in some conference in the future. Or talk about our beliefs online with our audiences. God bless your purpose every day
Omg!!! I'm sooooo happy I found your video. There is nothing so thorough on TH-cam. I'm 36 (almost 37) and I just kept thinking no way. This helps me so much!!! 💕 Thank you for all your wisdom and information. Now I can proceed on with life and not feel "crazy". Definitely going to take your recommendations and make the best of this new journey in my life 🥰
I'm 35...I feel the same relief! Whew 👏🏾
You are so welcome!
Same Kendra, same! I have been a mix of emotions dealing with changes in my cycle for the past month
Thank you so so much for providing such incredible information! I love your passion ❤️❤️ 85% is such a huge number of us. I agree we shouldn’t have to suffer in silence and this is a conversation that is not being had enough!
Thank you for tuning in!
Wow, every symptom you said is perimenopause spot on!! As a student wanting to pursue OB/Gyn and continue to assist women in their health, this optimal for me. Ugh, I would LOVE to learn from you and your studies!! I’ll move to Texas! Lol.
I am almost 40, a lot of weird shit has been happening and I don't have health insurance till the first of the year I've been so freaking scared and confused. But this video has helped calm me down. I'm still going to the Dr as soon as the insurance goes through. But This , most of all what's in this video is what's going on and with no one to ask or talk to about it. I've just been freaking out.
First, I am so glad I came across your channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fatigue is very big and I already have a inflammatory process in my body with Ulcerative Colitis (IBD) that makes me very tired. I have worse depression and anxiety. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at 48 shy a month of 49, so I was probably already starting Peri menopause. Now in Peri and 54 years old going on 55 in a couple of months, I still have me period. I have very increased rage, breast tenderness, wired feeling a week before and can't sleep, heart palpitations and seen a cardiologist, stinky sweat, hot flashes, etc. I cannot take HRT because during a severe flare in my colitis, hospitalized and got a DVT blood clot and on blood thinners. So not hormone replacement. I really suffer with daily things because of it. I used to be a woman that ran to the gym, worked out all the time, and good health. I know to not have the energy. I do walk an hour a day with my dog. Thank God for my dog. It really does help, but it is not enough to fight fat in the waist that I did not have before.
Ladies, definitely check with your insurance company about coverage. I see a provider in my state who offers similar services…she gives me the appropriate documentation to submit a claim, and my insurance reimburses me for half the cost of the visit. My labs are also covered.
I could cry!!!! You’re only like 20 minutes from me!!! So incredibly happy to have found you!!!
Dr. Haver has started a wellness clinic, Mary Claire Wellness, in Friendswood, TX. Initial appointments (in-person and virtual) must be conducted within the state of Texas. We invite you to book an in-person appointment here at our Friendswood, Texas based clinic or call (409) 939-1123 to inquire about a telemedicine appointment in the state of Texas.
How do we find a functional medicine doctor, or at least an OB/GYN who focused on whole health and doesn’t just give us birth control or some quick fix!! I try my best not to get on synthetic hormonal disrupters, or anything chemical in my body!! As well as my 18 year old!! You are a life saver!!!
Thank you for the factual information! I will share this with the women I see in Health Coaching!
You are so welcome!
Your passion for helping women is beautiful. Thank you ♥️😊
When mentioned your patient in perimenopause whose migraines totally stopped since starting HRT, that bit made me want to cry. That was me and I can’t tell you how many doctors I went to for my migraines before I went on HRT. Been feeling so great on HRT in my perimenopause journey. I tell everyone of my female friends to find a doctor who will treat them with HRT.
Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge! I am about to order your program and I’ve already subscribed to your channel. I’ll be 49 in few months and think that I’m going through this right now. Oh, by the way you look amazing!!!!
Thank you!!
I’m so glad I found you.
Thank you so very much!
I love your passion! I wish you were near me. For too, long I’ve gone through feeling like there is no hope. I’m finally growing into myself and my symptoms are easing to some degree. I’m in my 50s but have been struggling since my mid 30s . I was diagnosed with endometriosis and now finding out In the last two years that is Not a fact. More then likely it’s been the roller coaster ride of pre-menopause. It has effected my life tremendously. Ive recently found a doctor who cares and actually listen to my concerns. I love her she compassionate. I’m not a candidate for hormonal replacement so we look at the natural approach. It’s not easy but much more do able now that I understand more of what’s going on instead of being told “nothing is happening it’s all imaginable”. My advice after suffering so long would be Always Advocate for yourself and keep an open dialogue with other women to keep others informative. Be strong 💪 seek out truth and talk to each other.
I am so glad I found you! I turned 40 in April. Between 33-35 I noticed a change in my hair texture, my facial skin started drying and I noticed severe vaginal dryness/painful intercourse with my husband. I thought, “well, welcome to my 30’s”! Then around 35 I started having “flushes” where I’d turn real red in the chest and neck and with time it’s rose up to my face as well. But I don’t sweat with them. At 39 I had a bout of feeling foggy headed, which I didn’t tell anyone about so then it turned into anxiety, which I don’t typically suffer from but it was almost crippling. After I told my mama how I was feeling and had a few good cry’s it leveled out after a day or two. I’ve been more forgetful like leaving my cell phone in public places, twice I’ve done that! I had six cavities at my dental checkup last year. The past year I also started growing peach fuzz on the side of my face! Two months ago I started waking up with severe dry eye and the last couple of weeks I’ve had bouts of heart palpitations. My menses is like clock work as I’m on the pill and have been for years. But it may be heavier one month and lighter the next, which is new this past year. I do see my GYN faithfully each year for a healthy check. But I did contact my GYN and she ordered a TSH and an FSH, my TSH was normal but my FSH was 0.2!!! I have an appt with her Thursday the 15. But in all seriousness, it will absolutely make women feel like we’re going mad! So thank you for talking about it to us and for helping us understand.
You dont have your mensis as you are on the pills. You dont ovulate.
Thank you!! 🙏 This is like my exact story! 😮😢 So glad I saw it. Hope you’re doing well. I am going to a HRT Specialist in 4days 🎉
@@GoWithin4 hey Janet! I’ve had a couple more bouts of brain fog. But now that I know what it is, I’m not having anymore anxiety. All my other symptoms still exist, but my periods are getting more erratic. I may start a day early or a day late then spot for a day then do nothing for a day then spot again the next day. Real crazy periods. I’m now 41 and a half. Still on birth control and that’s it. Will you let me know how your appt goes? I’m curious since we have the same issues. How old are you too please?
Such great info. Well done keep it up!! Im in perimenopause phase and have had symptoms that are not extreme but I have noticed. Your test was great.
Thanks! Learn more at galvestondiet.com/menopause-symptoms/is-it-perimenopause-or-something-else/
EXACTLY!!!IM 50 AND I STILL HAVE MY PERIOD,EVERYTHING DAY ITS A NEW DAY,I HOPE EVERYTHING WILL BE EASY ,HAPPY AND GREAT!!
Yes I've definitely had tooth issues especially after having my daughter at age 38 and recently. I had to have a lot of dental work when my daughter was two years old and I was breastfeeding
Omgosh I need this!!!!!!
I actually began this journey in my early 30s. Had a blood test and my Dr said the results were clinically normal but she said as a woman my hormones were "upside down". So what looks normal on a test clinically, a skilled Dr will see what your true numbers should be but arent. As it turns out, she was absolutely correct. It does help to see a female Dr that can actually see these numbers and wont dismiss it like most male drs do. As it was in my case.
Enjoying the video
Thank you so so much. I am 49 been going through a mostly bad perimenopause since 39 and tried talking to anyone in my family or friends about it. I feel like I was in my own because family members would say I'm just too sensitive and friends would say you just need to eat better. Ieat mostly healthy, not overweight and pretty healthy. Only 1 friend would listen and relate to me somewhat but like you said we had completely different symptoms.
I am so happy you put that person in their place for trying to shame other women who wants to seek help for what they know they are experiencing.
So happy that you were able to share your experience with us! We are listening!
@@maryclairehavermd8473 Hello I am already diagnosed in perimenopause stage,I have experiencing all the symptoms,the worst are super backpain and breastpain😭😭😭
What should I do then?please help.Thank you in advance
Saedene Seay… l feel the same doctors and family have said it’s all in my head. l have been told that lm too sensitive and irritable . I had cried to my family for help… l have been feeling hopeless and having mood swings every day but all l got was “ l don’t know how help you., you are always I’m a bad mood“. I just isolated from everyone and keep things to myself because people don’t understand my inner struggles.
@@brendaabarca1774 I'm with you
It is very rare that doctors understand that patients are keen to know what's going on with their body and have the capacity to comprehend the medical facts behind the condition they are experiencing. I can't thank you enough for making this video. You are a great doctor and a greater human being!!! Lots of love from Calgary, AB.
You are most welcome!
OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SO AWESOME 👌
YOU ARE SO CORRECT ABOUT THIS , AND I AM HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEM S
ALL OF THEM.
WOW 👏.
I CAN'T SLEEP AT ALL. HAIR IS NOT GROWING ON MY HEAD BUT THE CHENN HAIR IS.
You are most welcome.
Thank you the video!
54 and suffering.:(
Wow I love you. Thank you 🙏
Happy to help!
I believe I'm in premenopause haven't had the test done yet. But I'm 36, my mom and sister both started menopause in their 30s. This is the first time I've gone without my menstrual cycle but I've had night sweats, crankiness, cramping on and off for quite sometime. No period for the last month and I've done several pregnancy tests and all came back negative. As I'm typing this I am having a hot flash 😭🤣 very informative video tysm for your time and information
Glad it cold help you.
What a gift your videos are, especially at a time when so many don't still have good access to healthcare or doctors who won't know or take the time to give so much valuable and honest information.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for advocating and helping woman.
Perimenapause is not advocated in Israel and is treated by antidepressants for most simptoms. at 42 I had panic attacks, palpitations,anemia,fainting,shortage of breath, dry mouth, fatigue, arytmia anxiety,sweating,insomania, digestive problems and a lot of others simptoms. Doctors not aware and even don't try to diagnose it. They prescribed me antidepressants and propanalol betta blockers.
I'm 45 and have experienced most of these symptoms. My PCP said she thinks I'm too young for perimenopause. But you have clarified so much for me! I'm definitely there.
