No, they don't. I am having a serious hot flash right now, I feel like am on fire. Am having heart pain, full body pain, joint pain, brain fog, forgetfulness,, fatigue, anxiety,panic attacks, stress,neck pain, shoulder pain etc... I mean come on! I am 44. On top of all these am taking BP meds 🙄 All these and more is caused by perimenopause????Now I hear it can last up to decades!!! I can hardly function right now! My only relief is that, millions of women like myself are going through these same symptoms. Indeed like you said, people don't really know what we women go through. I love you all.
Eating more butter has helped many women sleep so much better!!! Look up Dr Elizabeth Bright, she’s all over TH-cam 💛 I’m finally sleeping deep even though I wake up all night long!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG She is the only one who gives symptoms that no one talks about. I thought I was about to die until I saw this. I have every one of these at one time. Thank you sister
Exactly!!!! Had no idea the host of problems that came with post menopause. Where I suffered 1 or 2 days out of the month with my period, menopause can cause daily suffering, and when you think you have a handle on one problem another arises. It's so freakin' exhausting!
OMG! I am experiencing all of these symptoms. Body pain is the worst. Thank you for addressing this. I wish our doctors would educate themselves and patients on this so we don't think we are totally losing it
😂😂😂😂 I sometimes feel like I'm alone in this all. No doctor knows or women have gone thru what I am, coupled with an Autoimmune. Crazeee indeed but at least I know, I'm not alone ❤😅
I'm 66 and have had most of these pains. I was actually rubbing my "frozen shoulder" when she was in the video! LOL. Started taking magnesium, cause most people are low in their systems. Our body doesn't make magnesium. I drink nothing but spring water, and no caffeine organic green tea, mixed with chamomile tea. Cutting out sugar does help lower inflammation. But the worse thing for women is stress, that effects so much in a women's body and mind. Be well everyone, on this crazy journey, and accept yourself for who you are, put yourself first, no one else will do it for you. Be kind to yourself!
Why aren't there specialists clinics that deal with this issue for women, why are we just left to struggle on and live (exist) with this sometimes debilitated stage of life. There are chronic pain clinics, why can't we have specialists pain clinics for menopausal symptoms, fed up with the whole thing to he honest, never ending hot flushes, and a long list of where my body hurts. ITS NOT BLOODY FAIR!!! Some days i feel good, most days WRETCHED!!!
There is a menopause clinic at my local hospital that you can attend without a doctor's referral. This is in Scotland, but such services are available UK wide through the NHS.
Oh for god's sake, don't be so dramatic, there's been plenty of information around for many, many years lol. And just because your mother and grandmother haven't talked about it, don't assume it's the same for all of us. Jeez.
@gerty9250 I understand ,but just because we don't experience the same things.. doesn't mean anything.But this is the problem that us decide on. EVERYONE IS NOT UNITED.... THIS THE PROBLEM!!!
@@RachealCU What on earth are you talking about? lol. Many of us women are so fed up with ignorant women who can't be bothered to do their own research and just moan about their symptoms. How can you, in 2023, say, 'FINALLY SOME INFORMATION!!!!!!!? Information about menopause has been around forever! I used to go the library and research it for my mum back in the 80's and there was plenty of information available even back then lol. And now that we have the internet with the wealth of knowledge that is available at our finger tips, there is absolutely no excuse for women to be ignorant on the subject.. Also, now that I reread your comment about women not hearing about menopause from their mom's or grandma's, I'm laughing again. Why do you need to hear anything from them? For god's sake, take responsibility for yourself, don't be lazy, and do your own research!
That lady who just got up from her couch holding her right back are is ME… OMG I hurt all the time in that exact spot and I can’t move, I actually cry when it hurts. May God help us woman
I just turned 43 and I am definitely dealing with half of the issues that you have stated. The night sweats and hot flashes are the worst. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This month my symptoms changes. I experienced UTI, lower back pain, Pelvic Pain that was very very painful could hardly walk, foot pain, tingling in the feet and numbness and my favourite pain shooting from my butt to leg. All my test results are negative. The metallic taste is awful. One day at a time ladies. We got this. I am 47 years old.
I am dealing with pelvic discomfort for the past week. I have been diagnosed with a few small cysts and a few small fibroids. It feels like the cramps when you get your cycle. Will schedule an appt soon to make sure everything is okay but it really sucks. I had this same pain start up around this time last year and it went away after a month only to return a year later. I also have minor foot pain (ball of foot pain)and when I get up in the morning I experience tingling and numbness for a few minutes and once I get walking I'm good for the day. I am 59 and have been post menopausal since 2020.
Was just watching this video and read your comment and I have the worst foot pain and extreme pins /needles/tingling in my feet also. It's the worst in the morning when getting out of bed. I thought I was the only one to have this odd symptom, I've told many doctors about it and they act like they've never heard of this in perimenopause! I've just turned 48 and this has been a nightmare for me, I also have lower back pain and sciatica pain I'm certain is also caused by perimenopause. This pain is out of this world!!!
I just started the leg pain and cramping/charley horses in my legs. Someone above just said that these things can last decades. Yes, they can. I’ve been dealing with peri/meno/post meno since I was 42. I am now 57 and I just can’t even explain how dang awful I am still feeling. It’s every symptom, randomly and who knows when it will strike.
Its that also referred to as restless leg syndrome? There seems to be a certain amount of overlap in literature and anecdotes i read, it’s confusing and I’m not sure that everyone shares the same idea anyhow!! I get these, especially in the bed or when weird dietary salt imbalances manifest. It’s agony and can’t be ignored or stretched out, it’s like a one way ratchet of contracting
Thank you for talking about these things, as women we don't tend to discuss it much between each other, doctors don't listen and our law makers don't give a shit about women's health so most women suffer in silence and feel alone like they are the only one suffering
Im so glad that now i know that i am not alone and what im feeling is relevant . God bless us , this part of our lives is so depressing . Pain is an understatement i hate being this old .
Geez! I’m 54 and I’ve been in menopause for almost two years. I suffer leg pain in bed, joint soreness, stomach issues, and shoulder pain that travels down my arm. I had no idea these may be menopause related. I’m so happy to have found this video. Although my aches and pains have increased, I’m happy to know it’s not uncommon. I also take two medications for GERD now.
Please forgive my ignorance, but could you explain what GERD is, or if this is an acronym, then what it stands for? My sincere wish for all those of us to have more days free of discomfort so we can enjoy our lives with relative ease. I’m tired of cancelling out on social plans & sick of useless Dr appts.
@@KTea66 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Basically, it’s acid reflux. I take two prescribed antacids to control it. I find I don’t feel well a lot more days than I used to.
I’ve had the worst GERD ever. Read Dr. Jamie Koufman’s Acid Reflux Diet book. It’s a game changer. I’ve figured a way to reduce symptoms dramatically through diet and lifestyle, without meds.
Thank you lovely lady for all of this information it has given me a smile back after 10 yrs I truly thought I was dying and going crazy but I can say it has stolen all my 40s and now into my 50s I am sad it is taken my life away
You mentioned foot pain, which I had every morning when I got up to stand. My feet felt like they were broken, hurt so bad. But my podiatrist made custom orthotics for me, he wrapped wet plaster strips around my feet and let it dry, then slowly removed them and sent them out to be made into insoles. This maintains my foot position and has helped me be pain free now. I put them in all my shoes and don’t walk around without them, it’s one problem solved . 😊
No not from Covid Menopause is different a woman thing Covid is man made out of a lab ,to test n experiment on humans to see the effect - spread like wildfire , result, death.
Do a parasite cleanse... and investigate drawing toxins out through the feet... Its parasites... and then you need to replace using clean minerals... "Yes I had orthotics for many years".. is NOT someone who can help you heal.. its someone who is vested in keeping you sic.
Oh my God this video was the best I thought I was going crazy. All of a sudden one day I woke up with all these aches and pains and I thought it was weight-gain I thought it was a lot of different things you nailed it I have most of these symptoms. Thank you for giving me back my sanity great explanation of what a woman continuously goes through throughout life
I hate that we go through emotional and physical hell with our menstrual cycles for so many years, and then we deal with all of this in our middle age and older years! God needs to put Eve in protective custody, I'd like 10 minutes with her for causing this.
Just got off phone with doctors. Thought l was going insane! Terrible shoulder /arm pain. Thought l was having heart issues 😢.. omg.. wished l'd listen here first! Thank you. So now after years of terrible periods, mc, now l must be tortured all over again! Sigh... l just want to curl up & disappear seriously 😢😢. Thank God l have an amazing hubby❤so l go on....Bless you for this Video🎉
Your videos always bring me comfort in knowing that my symptoms are menopause related so that I am not constantly fearing the worst case scenario. Thank you.
Omg so agree…It’s blown me away just how horrendous the pain is! I have every one of these! It’s hell.. They thought I had rhabdo when I went to A&E!! Doctors really need educating and made aware of these symptoms - so more women can get the help, support and treatment they need and want. It’s so horrific for some of us.. Yet some of us have no symptoms. 😢
Thank you so much for this video, I have pain all over and previously mentioned in one of your videos feeling like I'm dying of something. No wonder we all suffer from anxiety too as we must all be driving ourselves crazy with thoughts of illness.
Same. I had no idea my pain throughout my body could be related to this. I wish it was talked about more, especially by doctors to women in the perimenopause/menopause age group. I thought something was seriously wrong with me. I have many of the symptoms that are stated in this video. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
Seeing your cat totally chilled and sleeping so soundly makes me want to be a cat 😅 it was funny hearing you describe our utter torture...while the cat slept so serenely in bliss of its wonderful life. Peri is hell. It has destroyed me. How we get through this i have no idea.
I'm in perimenopause, and the last 2 months have been absolute hell. The hot flashes and night sweats are out of control. I can't sleep past 3 or 4 in the morning, and I'm woken up many times throughout the night. I have headaches, nausea, and my bones feel like they're rubbing together. So, so painful. And the mood swings. I have lumps in my feet, and like you said, it feels like I'm walking on marbles. This absolutely sucks. I'm so miserable. But, thank you for doing these videos. Many of my symptoms, I didn't even know were symptoms. Your videos are so very helpful. Thank you again. Keep em' coming, lol
FINALLY, I feel I got the best information regarding menopause! Thank you so much! Wish doctors were more educated on this topic. My issue is the painful, stabbing, burning breasts! So glad you can relate. 👍🏻
I am post-menopausal now, but I remember many of these symptoms. I still have some of them. I had some benefits from menopause though. I have had migraine headaches since puberty that were hormone triggered. Once menopause kicked in my migraine frequency dropped from monthly to maybe 2 a year. Now I might get a migraine once every couple of years. I also don't have to deal with the horrible cramps I had every month of my whole life since puberty until menopause. In some ways I feel better than I did before menopause.
That’s great news ,wish we didn’t have to go thru this stage in life at all,transition should be a relief and smooth til we die , not added effects to menopause.
As an older woman I too have some of those issues but feel a lot better now than when I had to endure decades of menstrual cramps, pain , upset feelings, vomiting, weakness , hot flushes, fainting, absence from school and from work and much more. I feel much healthier and greatly relieved from the torture I experienced every month as a youth.
Thank yopu very much .I hv all these symptoms and is affecting my movement.I have foot pain, frozen shoulder, leg pain,toes pain, neck pain . just worried how can all these be happening to me .I have been to many hospitals they say nothing is wrong but am in Pains. The whole thing started when my mese start to skip,Am 48yrs
I have everyone of these, and then some. I’m 46 been on HRT for a year, and have noticed a marked difference but some of them are still very much there…joint pain and neck pain and restless legs being the worst. Just started vaginal estrogen for the pain and dryness down there. That’s helped a ton.
New subscriber here. You're describing what I've been going through since I turned 40. I said "hey doc I think I'm going through premenopause or something this and this has been happening and it didn't use to happen before" Doc said "nah, you're too young" And I'm like 🙄
I've been in the perimenopause stage for four years, and what has helped me is taking evening primrose oil. It takes a while to get into your system, maybe 2 months, but it does work it helps with the breast pain and the aching in the joints. I used to take it when I was younger for breast pain before my periods. Make sure you buy good quality evening primrose oil. Another thing that helps is Menopace it doesn't take all the symptoms away, but it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Great video, very insightful.
There are some good things about menopause: no more PMS, cramps, pimples, bloating, or messy periods that stain sheets and clothes; and no longer giving a d@mn what anyone thinks. I have had to stay on HRT even though I'm at risk for breast cancer bc terrible hot flashes, lack of motivation, and brain fog were making me depressed and I'm already on anti-depressants.
I know! It’s so hard because we want to do all the right things and stay away from the damaging or risky things like HRT but what are we supposed to do when we literally can’t function?! People see us as crazy, exaggerated, attention seeking, lazy. But the symptoms are real and debilitating 😢
I still get pimples now more than When I 😮was a teenager. Thankful no more periods but in exchange hot flashes hip pain knee pain breast pain. We can’t win It’s not fair , We should be enjoying life at menopause age Pre n post but NO this SUX !
Thank you for all the advice. I feel like I'm being tortured! I thought it was my fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, bulging discs, degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, si joints worn down and right foot plantar fasciitis, pinched nerve in ankle and osteo arthritis. Well, perimenopause and menopause probably make it worse, now that I seen your video. I have headaches everyday and migraines for 3 weeks straight. Your cat is so cute and pretty in the background. I have a cat too which helps with my depression. Yes, I forgot to say I forget things, brain fog, run into things and bruises all over. Everything you mentioned in your videos. I had to change Doctors because I could tell the one didn't believe me have the time. I broke my right foot also ( I don't know how probably weak bones)and for 3 months I just thought it was my osteoarthritis so I got a steroid shot which didn't help. This is CRAZY that we women have to go through this and for so long!! I am 53 and I'm going to get another test to see if I'm menopausal. The last test I did last year or 2 yrs ago said I wasn't. Have you ever had a test like that done? Okay sorry so long, first time commenting. I wish us all healing.
I just went through several peri and menopause related videos and NONE touched on the asymptomatic you mentioned. I was SO relieved that you did. THANK YOU!!
While menopause can be hard for many women,rather than panic about what's coming to us,be prepared,how we live and the choices we make now affects our bodies later in life..Dont wait for menopause keep healthy and ask your doctors for advice
Now i know i got this all pain,im 54 having this all pain in my body which im always thinking whats happening.thank you for this information that you shared to us❤
Hello Kari! I have had all of these but the newest one is weird bone pain on the side of my feet, ankle and sometimes hips, and leg pain to where it affects my walking, never had it before 😒I go thru heating/massaging pads every few months because I use it everyday ( I’m 53 feeling some days like 93) and other days it’s not there..as always love all of your videos they are so informative and encouraging ❤
YESSSS, same here! So if I'm feeling the stiffness in my body I have to do yoga - did yoga - all possible bodyparts hurting BECAUSE of doing movements which my body resists and cannot cope bc of hormonal imbalance. I really do not know sometimes if I'm more desperate, depressed or angry about this s*it.
Painful joints is really annoying I have to say that the Gynecologist, I consulted,at my Premature Menopause aged 39,was both sympathetic and very helpful to me Some Doctors are well informed and empathetic
For me it was the headaches. Started in 2020. I thought it was covid stress. That fall the hot flashes started. Then I realized what was going on! It's great to have informative videos like this. I feel like when it comes to menopause, women are just floating in the middle of a vast ocean in a dingy!
For me one of the worst parts of all of this has been not knowing if it could possibly be covid related or menopause. I feel like my age group has gotten the short end because of 2020.
Thas exactly how i felt as well enxiety swollen ankles temper no interest in sex and naw my marriage is gone as well cant we just grow old with easy😅😅 at 47 feels like crap
Thanks for the video. I m 48yrs n going through all these symptoms. Was worried alot for my health but never told by my doctor that it is bcoz of menopause. Got great mentally relief after this video. God bless you.
I love your channel. I’m not trying to sound snarky 🙏🏼 I promise!! I think the symptoms list of pain is excellent and very informative but….we can also (some of us) just say EVERYTHING, literally each cell …like every single cell!!! and system!!! hurts terribly during peri, and post menopause.😢 it’s just so upsetting. Gosh, I really pray for all my menopause sisters here. And thank you Kari! Channel is so wonderful.💗
Tanking hormones can affect every body system and some of us suffer terribly, myself included. It was my torturous symptoms and dismissive doctors that prompted my continuous research and this channel. Groups of symptoms do have common factors though that worsen the torture like insomnia and chronic inflammation in the body. If we can work on improving those types of things we can turn down our suffering a notch or two. I will never stop looking for things to help myself and others. Much love and hugs to you!🥰
I couldn’t agree with you more. I just started experiencing my first Menopause back pains during the weekend, honestly, it was alarming. Just to say the least. I’ve never had back pains before and to have felt such sharp pain on Saturday afternoon and now sporadic ones since then was quite scary. I’m learning a lot about Menopause that I never knew or was told about by anyone.
I started pre menopause 5 years ago. I seriously want my period back so bad. I have all of these symptoms . Its awful, besides my thyroid problem problems and the hot flashes . Thanks for this video
Wow!! best video and explanations on these symptoms. I'm 54 started peri menopause at 40 and I experienced all of these pains. 2014 was my worst anxiety, stress, tiredness, panic attacks and the list goes on. I remembered in the mornings I was always tired bcuz of lack of sleep and was always very exhausted on the job. Now after 14yrs I still have some of the symptoms pains in the feet and legs and breast plus others. So thankful for this video bcuz doctors never seem to tell us these thing always sending us to do tests which cost a whole lot. I'm new to the chanel started watching 2 days ago. Searching for more of your videos and will soon subscribe. ❤
I recently told my mom that women should talk to younger women about the menopause journey. This way I wouldn't think I was crazy when I say my damn knee just started hurting out of no where😂.. Thank you, these videos help more than you know❤
I can’t believe I’m pretty much in menopause but was definitely dealing with ALL of this in the last decade or more! In particular, the widespread body pain! With an auto immune illness, my entire life, I kept thinking, I was definitely going to get diagnosed with MS or something… Turns out everything was inconclusive. Every time I went to the doctor… Your videos have been a real eye-opener. Basically no estrogen equals we might as well end it! So why aren’t we all getting supplemented with the proper amounts of it or something to take its place when all of this starts!?? Why is there just so little information except for the last year or so about HRT etc.? Even now working with a naturopath has been a clunky process to get estrogen replacement along with progesterone and the proper amounts, but humorously enough out of all of the agonizing symptoms the one symptom that got me the most upset was the hot flashes. I absolutely could not handle them and ultimately that is what ended me up on HRT which did stop those symptoms but that was three months ago and I’m still wondering about the body pain… I still have it pretty good but that comment about the feet hurting so bad it was like walking on marbles that definitely was going on with me and has gone away… I also had a raging case of tennis elbow, which I ended up getting a PRP shot for a year later it finally did go away..agonizing. All I can say is, I am praying that science gets better because living like this is no picnic!
I experience 10 out of the 12 pains that you said Until i saw this video, i didn't know that all these pains were due to menopause Thanks a lot for the above informations 🙏
7 years in for me. Yeah I figured the hot flashes would subside eventually. Sigh they only got worse. Plus, the foot pain, shoddy peripheral vision, poor sleep, vision loss, and a host of other symptoms you have mentioned in your other videos. The worst one is the V atrophy. Couldn't get any great advice from my Drs. Don't really know what to do about it. Brings me to tears. I appreciate your video's though. New subscriber here.
@@KariAnneWright never heard of it. They just asked me what I had tried so far and shrugged when I told them nothing had worked. I'll bring up the estrogen cream with my next appointment. Thanks for your thoughtful response. 💕
To embarrass to ask for it the pharmacists all know me when I pick up my meds. Don’t wanna get that prescription filled, vaginal cream. Anything helpful over the counter ,Womens aisle ?
I've come up to overthinking whether i have a sickness called uterus cancer until i saw and learn from you. Thank u so much because all of these pre menopausal syndrome is what i am suffering now🙏God bless u and keep on giving us info
I have TERRIBLE leg pain......this video has helped ease my mind regarding my experiences with pain, especially at night, along with anxiety and insomomia. Thanks!
This is sooooo comforting to hear. I was surely about to visit the er a couple times over many of these symptoms. Particularly the chest and leg pain. Thank you so much for this. 💕💕
Why does God hate us so much? Seriously? We thought puberty was horrible but when it was over we thought hey if we can get through that pregnancy won't be that bad. And it probably wasn't for most women until - childbirth. That was hell. Then we thought well if we've gotten past that phase we're home free. Menopause will be a breeze because that means we can have all the unprotected sex we want with our male partners without the worry of pregnancy and bonus no more bloating cramps or monthly visits from the period fairy. But- then we learned that this was its own special kind of hell. WHY DIDN'T OUR MOTHERS EVER TALK TO US ABOUT THIS?!!! I will never understand why women were so reluctant to discuss something that happens to all women if they live long enough. Whenever you ask older women about menopause even in this day and age they very rarely tell you much of anything. They just nod and say 'oh yeah i had that' or some other vague nonsense that amounts to no information at all. It's maddeningly frustrating. I have no idea what I should expect or what symptoms I can attribute to menopause or just my own general bitchiness.
I dealt with body pain a few years ago, and then it quit, leading me to think I was past that season. Unfortunately it reappeared a couple months ago. 😣 It's the worst!!! Thank you for all you do!
I just watched the video. Thank you so much for addressing the symptoms. I have been experiencing all of them since my mid 40's and am now in my 50's. I wish doctor's would be more educated in women's health and not brush you off or say it's part of aging.
Menopause was effecting my feet and ankles and knees for such a long time , I was going threw so many pairs of shoes. I wish someone had told me it was menopause , not even the docter sussed it. I had to get eastrogen in the end from a better docter. Great video woman really need to know this stuff
This is an invaluable video! And for me, this all began in my late 30s. Doctors treated the symptoms, not the root cause - loss of Estrogen. So much pain and stiffness. Decades of misery and loss of self esteem, not knowing about the cause of my brain fog. Teach all young women early so that they know what's happening and can take HRT to prevent suffering.
OMG thank you so much maam.im impressed! I've been in 2 OBGYNE,general doctors and internal med doc.nobody adviced me these sympyoms for premenopausal.until i got my urologist cause i taught it was other problems but then,he told me these pain for this ages.oh!now i know.tnx kari.m from philippines@45
In every video so far that I have watched about peri menopause check check check.. I thought I was going insane. Thank you for these videos. You’re a blessing. God bless you.
I'm 43 and have been to the er multiple times in the past year for most of these symptoms. I've had catscans and MRIs , all of which found nothing. I'm wondering if I had been treated by female doctors, I would have been given this information, and my mind could have been put at ease. Ty for this video. Information is power .
Almost like the perimenopause symptoms wasn't enough,now all these aches and pains,lower back,and knees,I guess I don't have to explain, but thanks for everything, your a Star!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us 🙏 when I had my periods I never had no pain or any problems I finally finished menopause about two years now and also never had any symptoms too thank God 🙏
Did they pinppint what went wrong if I may ask? Menopause is a debilating condition that is said a natur process. Women researchers ought to do something about the condition like men who are busy doing research work on prostatic troubles.
Gosh,,thank you for all the info,,,I thought I was busy dying of some kind of unfamiliar illnesses or something.I'm so relieved,now I can do something about it.Thanks girlfriend..
Oh my goodness you said it all,,Thank you ,been going to the doctors for just about everything,& that muscles pains my God,everything your saying is so true.I needed this .Very helpful,Thank you 👍
This is exactly what I’m dealing with. I keep feeling very weak and dizzy too. I feel like my blood sugar is dropping since I have low blood sugar issues. When I test it it’s fine. The Dr’s have no clue about peri- menopause or menopause! I stretch and my back hurts more. My physical therapist told me to stop stretching and when I do I can’t move very well.
Great job mapping out the symptoms and sources. I didn't have those(so far) but what frstrates me is I heal and recover more slowly. I used to bounce back so fast and now I don't.
Your videos were directly from God. Thank you so much. I thought I was loosing my mind when the body pain started after menopause. It was by the Grace of God that I stumbled upon you. God bless you and your generation, miss Kari Ann. Keep up the good work ❤. From Trinidad 🇹🇹
That is what i feel nowadays..perimenopause made me stressful living..and its drained my mind,mood off and irritited..thank you Kari for the very imformative vedios its help me as well..Gbu
I’m happy that I was able to help in some small way. I also feel as if I am living a stressful life. Anxiety is very real especially when pain is involved. Hugs!
People don’t really know what we women go through❤️
Ok 👌
No, they don't. I am having a serious hot flash right now, I feel like am on fire. Am having heart pain, full body pain, joint pain, brain fog, forgetfulness,, fatigue, anxiety,panic attacks, stress,neck pain, shoulder pain etc... I mean come on! I am 44. On top of all these am taking BP meds 🙄 All these and more is caused by perimenopause????Now I hear it can last up to decades!!! I can hardly function right now! My only relief is that, millions of women like myself are going through these same symptoms. Indeed like you said, people don't really know what we women go through. I love you all.
So true. Even young women don’t understand at all.
And people who don’t understand gaslight is and don’t believe how badly we’re in pain.

Me too 😔

Same here. I'm 55.

All true 😔
Exactly how I feel
I'm only early 50s and I'm having all this shit😢. Hope there is a cure for it.
I have many of theses and after realizing that this can go on for decades! I want my period back! 😭😭😭
Same!😏
Same..I would trade it back.
Tell ma about it🤣
Exactly!!!! Had no idea the host of problems that came with post menopause. Where I suffered 1 or 2 days out of the month with my period, menopause can cause daily suffering, and when you think you have a handle on one problem another arises. It's so freakin' exhausting!
I don't want the period back...no way
OMG! I am experiencing all of these symptoms. Body pain is the worst. Thank you for addressing this. I wish our doctors would educate themselves and patients on this so we don't think we are totally losing it
Or drug seeking 🙄
Exactly. Thank you!
Whole 30 helped some of these for me
Totally agree!🙄
😂😂😂😂 I sometimes feel like I'm alone in this all. No doctor knows or women have gone thru what I am, coupled with an Autoimmune. Crazeee indeed but at least I know, I'm not alone ❤😅
I'm 66 and have had most of these pains. I was actually rubbing my "frozen shoulder" when she was in the video! LOL. Started taking magnesium, cause most people are low in their systems. Our body doesn't make magnesium. I drink nothing but spring water, and no caffeine organic green tea, mixed with chamomile tea. Cutting out sugar does help lower inflammation. But the worse thing for women is stress, that effects so much in a women's body and mind. Be well everyone, on this crazy journey, and accept yourself for who you are, put yourself first, no one else will do it for you. Be kind to yourself!
Thank you im 61 and it knocks me out
Thanks for these helpful information and thank you all who share their experiences
STRESS. Extended Fight or Flight - Neuropathy
Why aren't there specialists clinics that deal with this issue for women, why are we just left to struggle on and live (exist) with this sometimes debilitated stage of life. There are chronic pain clinics, why can't we have specialists pain clinics for menopausal symptoms, fed up with the whole thing to he honest, never ending hot flushes, and a long list of where my body hurts. ITS NOT BLOODY FAIR!!! Some days i feel good, most days WRETCHED!!!
Agreed! There should be menopause clinics everywhere. Women’s health care is greatly lacking.
There is a menopause clinic at my local hospital that you can attend without a doctor's referral. This is in Scotland, but such services are available UK wide through the NHS.
There are GYN that specialize in menopause ... I went to one
AMEN SISTER!!!!!!
Good Lord, I have most of this. Why don't doctors know this and explain it to you. I was thinking I am either VERY ill or crazy.
How about you take responsibility for yourself and do your own research lol.
I don't know how I avoided all these symptoms. I didn't go through menopause and at 61 years old, I never felt better. I'm sorry for women who suffer.
Are you vegetarian
Im 61 and now crash with it for 5 months im i'm starting to feel much better but it takes time
IM 53...AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN TALK ABOUT THIS EVER FROM OUR MOM'S OR GRANDMA. FINALLY SOME INFORMATION!!!!THANK YOU!!+!!!+!+!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oh for god's sake, don't be so dramatic, there's been plenty of information around for many, many years lol. And just because your mother and grandmother haven't talked about it, don't assume it's the same for all of us. Jeez.
@gerty9250 I understand ,but just because we don't experience the same things.. doesn't mean anything.But this is the problem that us decide on.
EVERYONE IS NOT UNITED....
THIS THE PROBLEM!!!
@gerty9250 IS YOUR NAME KAREN BTW???
@@RachealCU What on earth are you talking about? lol. Many of us women are so fed up with ignorant women who can't be bothered to do their own research and just moan about their symptoms. How can you, in 2023, say, 'FINALLY SOME INFORMATION!!!!!!!? Information about menopause has been around forever! I used to go the library and research it for my mum back in the 80's and there was plenty of information available even back then lol. And now that we have the internet with the wealth of knowledge that is available at our finger tips, there is absolutely no excuse for women to be ignorant on the subject.. Also, now that I reread your comment about women not hearing about menopause from their mom's or grandma's, I'm laughing again. Why do you need to hear anything from them? For god's sake, take responsibility for yourself, don't be lazy, and do your own research!
@@RachealCU Only very childish people use that line. Are you sure you're old enough to be going through menopause? Sounds more like puberty to me lol.
That lady who just got up from her couch holding her right back are is ME… OMG I hurt all the time in that exact spot and I can’t move, I actually cry when it hurts. May God help us woman
😔❤️
I use Arnicare gel. It helps a lot.
Thank you!! I will try
Same. It started last year for me.
I just turned 43 and I am definitely dealing with half of the issues that you have stated. The night sweats and hot flashes are the worst. Thanks for sharing this with us.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@sky-nj1nq why you laughing.
She is so right it's very frustrating
Agree nothing to laugh about @@blessingscampbell103
I identify with most of the symptoms especially foot pain,breast pain ,frozen shoulder .Thanks for this video
Omg the foot pain! So bad. I found a foot wrap online that helps a lot.
This month my symptoms changes. I experienced UTI, lower back pain, Pelvic Pain that was very very painful could hardly walk, foot pain, tingling in the feet and numbness and my favourite pain shooting from my butt to leg. All my test results are negative. The metallic taste is awful. One day at a time ladies. We got this. I am 47 years old.
The widespread pain is the worst aside from anxiety. Wishing you well.❤️
I am dealing with pelvic discomfort for the past week. I have been diagnosed with a few small cysts and a few small fibroids. It feels like the cramps when you get your cycle. Will schedule an appt soon to make sure everything is okay but it really sucks. I had this same pain start up around this time last year and it went away after a month only to return a year later. I also have minor foot pain (ball of foot pain)and when I get up in the morning I experience tingling and numbness for a few minutes and once I get walking I'm good for the day. I am 59 and have been post menopausal since 2020.
Was just watching this video and read your comment and I have the worst foot pain and extreme pins /needles/tingling in my feet also. It's the worst in the morning when getting out of bed. I thought I was the only one to have this odd symptom, I've told many doctors about it and they act like they've never heard of this in perimenopause! I've just turned 48 and this has been a nightmare for me, I also have lower back pain and sciatica pain I'm certain is also caused by perimenopause. This pain is out of this world!!!
It's hard for me to pinpoint where I don't ache. Thanks for addressing this
Same age…same symptoms.
I just started the leg pain and cramping/charley horses in my legs. Someone above just said that these things can last decades. Yes, they can. I’ve been dealing with peri/meno/post meno since I was 42. I am now 57 and I just can’t even explain how dang awful I am still feeling. It’s every symptom, randomly and who knows when it will strike.
keep a soap bar near your legs in bed . youll see the cramps get less and even if u get one rub it with the soap it will dissapear .
Its that also referred to as restless leg syndrome? There seems to be a certain amount of overlap in literature and anecdotes i read, it’s confusing and I’m not sure that everyone shares the same idea anyhow!!
I get these, especially in the bed or when weird dietary salt imbalances manifest. It’s agony and can’t be ignored or stretched out, it’s like a one way ratchet of contracting
@@gracescicluna1182I just did it 🧼 hope it works 🙏🙏🙏
Magnesium take it
It’s sad how a female pcp didn’t even state to me that these symptoms could be meno. I think they are
Thank you for talking about these things, as women we don't tend to discuss it much between each other, doctors don't listen and our law makers don't give a shit about women's health so most women suffer in silence and feel alone like they are the only one suffering
Very true! I was just dismissed again yesterday and I’m suffering pain and numbness with zero help. It’s sad and terrible the way we are treated.
This week i started upping my water intake to what I"m suppose to be drinking and so far it's helping with so many symptoms.
I am 52. Last period over 2 years ago. I am so tired i feel like death. Thank you for this info. I love you sis
❤️
Im so glad that now i know that i am not alone and what im feeling is relevant . God bless us , this part of our lives is so depressing . Pain is an understatement i hate being this old .
Geez! I’m 54 and I’ve been in menopause for almost two years. I suffer leg pain in bed, joint soreness, stomach issues, and shoulder pain that travels down my arm. I had no idea these may be menopause related. I’m so happy to have found this video. Although my aches and pains have increased, I’m happy to know it’s not uncommon. I also take two medications for GERD now.
Please forgive my ignorance, but could you explain what GERD is, or if this is an acronym, then what it stands for?
My sincere wish for all those of us to have more days free of discomfort so we can enjoy our lives with relative ease. I’m tired of cancelling out on social plans & sick of useless Dr appts.
@@KTea66 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Basically, it’s acid reflux. I take two prescribed antacids to control it. I find I don’t feel well a lot more days than I used to.
@@Think_About_It_7I knew someone who actually went on a special "GERD diet" which he claimed was a life saver.
Me too!! This GERD is no joke! I'm so tired of all these symptoms
I’ve had the worst GERD ever. Read Dr. Jamie Koufman’s Acid Reflux Diet book. It’s a game changer. I’ve figured a way to reduce symptoms dramatically through diet and lifestyle, without meds.
Thank you lovely lady for all of this information it has given me a smile back after 10 yrs I truly thought I was dying and going crazy but I can say it has stolen all my 40s and now into my 50s I am sad it is taken my life away
Me too
You mentioned foot pain, which I had every morning when I got up to stand. My feet felt like they were broken, hurt so bad. But my podiatrist made custom orthotics for me, he wrapped wet plaster strips around my feet and let it dry, then slowly removed them and sent them out to be made into insoles. This maintains my foot position and has helped me be pain free now. I put them in all my shoes and don’t walk around without them, it’s one problem solved . 😊
Yes I have had orthotics for many years.
I was told, to take a long-covid test - becaus thats where it comes from....
No not from Covid
Menopause is different a woman thing
Covid is man made out of a lab ,to test n experiment on humans to see the effect - spread like wildfire , result, death.
Omg me too
Do a parasite cleanse... and investigate drawing toxins out through the feet... Its parasites... and then you need to replace using clean minerals... "Yes I had orthotics for many years".. is NOT someone who can help you heal.. its someone who is vested in keeping you sic.
Oh my God this video was the best I thought I was going crazy. All of a sudden one day I woke up with all these aches and pains and I thought it was weight-gain I thought it was a lot of different things you nailed it I have most of these symptoms. Thank you for giving me back my sanity great explanation of what a woman continuously goes through throughout life
Happy the video was helpful.😊
They wonder why we’re so cranky.😂
It’s quite depressing what a woman has to go thru tho it’s just nit fair.
If I could get up one day and feel no pain everywhere I would call it a miracle!
If I woke up with zero pain I would think I was a ghost and check to see if my kids could see and hear me.😂🤦♀️
I hate that we go through emotional and physical hell with our menstrual cycles for so many years, and then we deal with all of this in our middle age and older years! God needs to put Eve in protective custody, I'd like 10 minutes with her for causing this.
🥺😔
The curse of Eve!
Just got off phone with doctors. Thought l was going insane! Terrible shoulder /arm pain. Thought l was having heart issues 😢.. omg.. wished l'd listen here first! Thank you. So now after years of terrible periods, mc, now l must be tortured all over again! Sigh... l just want to curl up & disappear seriously 😢😢. Thank God l have an amazing hubby❤so l go on....Bless you for this Video🎉
🥺
I’m almost 59 and never felt anything at all, apart from not having periods that’s all 😮
Your videos always bring me comfort in knowing that my symptoms are menopause related so that I am not constantly fearing the worst case scenario. Thank you.
Same. Especially regarding pain/burning/itching in the female parts/UTIs, I was honestly wondering if my time might be close to up...😅
Omg so agree…It’s blown me away just how horrendous the pain is! I have every one of these! It’s hell.. They thought I had rhabdo when I went to A&E!! Doctors really need educating and made aware of these symptoms - so more women can get the help, support and treatment they need and want. It’s so horrific for some of us.. Yet some of us have no symptoms. 😢
@kellydickens82 yeah I don't understand how that works where some women experience none of these and then the rest of us get them all. 🤔
Definitely agree
Thank you for your videos. I feel like I'm going through a lot of things symptoms. ❤
*I hate menopause!!!! I want all my hormones back NOW!!!!*
I miss my estrogen too!
@@KariAnneWright Have you ever tried fenugreek seed tea? A pharmacist was talking about how it can help with menopause issues.
@@EkAks No I haven’t. I’m addicted to green tea. If you try it let me know how it works.
@@KariAnneWright I really enjoy drinking green tea, especially jasmine green tea.
I also have tingling and itching on my scalp like worms are crawling through my hair, how lovely
Sorry
Thank you so much for this video, I have pain all over and previously mentioned in one of your videos feeling like I'm dying of something. No wonder we all suffer from anxiety too as we must all be driving ourselves crazy with thoughts of illness.
Same and I’m only nearly 44
Same. I had no idea my pain throughout my body could be related to this. I wish it was talked about more, especially by doctors to women in the perimenopause/menopause age group. I thought something was seriously wrong with me. I have many of the symptoms that are stated in this video. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
Same here .
I'm post menopause no period in 3 yrs. Feel like crap alot of my days Guess this symptoms can last far past menopause 😢
Seeing your cat totally chilled and sleeping so soundly makes me want to be a cat 😅 it was funny hearing you describe our utter torture...while the cat slept so serenely in bliss of its wonderful life.
Peri is hell. It has destroyed me. How we get through this i have no idea.
‼️
😂Our utter torture,' yep 😅 60 and still hot flashin 🔥
I have back and leg issues anyway..so any extra pain makes it worst. Menopause is a beast..😩
I'm in perimenopause, and the last 2 months have been absolute hell. The hot flashes and night sweats are out of control. I can't sleep past 3 or 4 in the morning, and I'm woken up many times throughout the night. I have headaches, nausea, and my bones feel like they're rubbing together. So, so painful. And the mood swings. I have lumps in my feet, and like you said, it feels like I'm walking on marbles. This absolutely sucks. I'm so miserable. But, thank you for doing these videos. Many of my symptoms, I didn't even know were symptoms. Your videos are so very helpful. Thank you again. Keep em' coming, lol

Women goes through so much BEFORE MENOPAUSE & After Menopause
Thanks,Kari♥️
This is the new one. Joint aches. It is like a circus.
FINALLY, I feel I got the best information regarding menopause! Thank you so much! Wish doctors were more educated on this topic. My issue is the painful, stabbing, burning breasts! So glad you can relate. 👍🏻
❤️❤️
I had that symptom. Felt like pregnancy breasts with the aching and stabbing. Wishing you relief.
@@quietstormaps thanks. It has definitely improved. We got this👍🏻👍🏻
Do men go thru anything ?
Nothing like what we go thru
Change of life it’s called I think 🤷🏻♀️
Menopause sux 🙄
One day I ran to the doctor because of that stabbing in the breast. I thought it was some decease coming up
I am post-menopausal now, but I remember many of these symptoms. I still have some of them. I had some benefits from menopause though. I have had migraine headaches since puberty that were hormone triggered. Once menopause kicked in my migraine frequency dropped from monthly to maybe 2 a year. Now I might get a migraine once every couple of years. I also don't have to deal with the horrible cramps I had every month of my whole life since puberty until menopause. In some ways I feel better than I did before menopause.
That’s great news ,wish we didn’t have to go thru this stage in life at all,transition should be a relief and smooth til we die , not added effects to menopause.
Migraines suck😢😢😢
Youre so lucky
As an older woman I too have some of those issues but feel a lot better now than when I had to endure decades of menstrual cramps, pain , upset feelings, vomiting, weakness , hot flushes, fainting, absence from school and from work and much more. I feel much healthier and greatly relieved from the torture I experienced every month as a youth.
That's great news to hear. may GOD continue to bless you AND the rest of us to feel as great as you do 🙏🏼
I have been in perimenopause for over 15 years and not know my God all things i have been going through
Thank yopu very much .I hv all these symptoms and is affecting my movement.I have foot pain, frozen shoulder, leg pain,toes pain, neck pain . just worried how can all these be happening to me .I have been to many hospitals they say nothing is wrong but am in Pains. The whole thing started when my mese start to skip,Am 48yrs
I’m sorry you are struggling. I have widespread pain as well so I understand. I hope it eases up for you soon.
I have everyone of these, and then some. I’m 46 been on HRT for a year, and have noticed a marked difference but some of them are still very much there…joint pain and neck pain and restless legs being the worst. Just started vaginal estrogen for the pain and dryness down there. That’s helped a ton.
New subscriber here. You're describing what I've been going through since I turned 40.
I said "hey doc I think I'm going through premenopause or something this and this has been happening and it didn't use to happen before"
Doc said "nah, you're too young"
And I'm like 🙄
I've been in the perimenopause stage for four years, and what has helped me is taking evening primrose oil. It takes a while to get into your system, maybe 2 months, but it does work it helps with the breast pain and the aching in the joints. I used to take it when I was younger for breast pain before my periods. Make sure you buy good quality evening primrose oil. Another thing that helps is Menopace it doesn't take all the symptoms away, but it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Great video, very insightful.
There are some good things about menopause: no more PMS, cramps, pimples, bloating, or messy periods that stain sheets and clothes; and no longer giving a d@mn what anyone thinks. I have had to stay on HRT even though I'm at risk for breast cancer bc terrible hot flashes, lack of motivation, and brain fog were making me depressed and I'm already on anti-depressants.
I know! It’s so hard because we want to do all the right things and stay away from the damaging or risky things like HRT but what are we supposed to do when we literally can’t function?! People see us as crazy, exaggerated, attention seeking, lazy. But the symptoms are real and debilitating 😢
I still get pimples now more than When I 😮was a teenager.
Thankful no more periods but in exchange hot flashes hip pain knee pain breast pain. We can’t win It’s not fair ,
We should be enjoying life at menopause age
Pre n post but NO this SUX !
Thank you for all the advice. I feel like I'm being tortured! I thought it was my fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, bulging discs, degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, si joints worn down and right foot plantar fasciitis, pinched nerve in ankle and osteo arthritis. Well, perimenopause and menopause probably make it worse, now that I seen your video. I have headaches everyday and migraines for 3 weeks straight. Your cat is so cute and pretty in the background. I have a cat too which helps with my depression. Yes, I forgot to say I forget things, brain fog, run into things and bruises all over. Everything you mentioned in your videos. I had to change Doctors because I could tell the one didn't believe me have the time. I broke my right foot also ( I don't know how probably weak bones)and for 3 months I just thought it was my osteoarthritis so I got a steroid shot which didn't help. This is CRAZY that we women have to go through this and for so long!! I am 53 and I'm going to get another test to see if I'm menopausal. The last test I did last year or 2 yrs ago said I wasn't. Have you ever had a test like that done? Okay sorry so long, first time commenting. I wish us all healing.
Hormone tests are only really good for diagnosing menopause and post menopause. They are not accurate in peri.
I just went through several peri and menopause related videos and NONE touched on the asymptomatic you mentioned. I was SO relieved that you did. THANK YOU!!
While menopause can be hard for many women,rather than panic about what's coming to us,be prepared,how we live and the choices we make now affects our bodies later in life..Dont wait for menopause keep healthy and ask your doctors for advice
Now i know i got this all pain,im 54 having this all pain in my body which im always thinking whats happening.thank you for this information that you shared to us❤
Hello Kari! I have had all of these but the newest one is weird bone pain on the side of my feet, ankle and sometimes hips, and leg pain to where it affects my walking, never had it before 😒I go thru heating/massaging pads every few months because I use it everyday ( I’m 53 feeling some days like 93) and other days it’s not there..as always love all of your videos they are so informative and encouraging ❤
"'" the newest one of bone pain in my feet
YESSSS, same here! So if I'm feeling the stiffness in my body I have to do yoga - did yoga - all possible bodyparts hurting BECAUSE of doing movements which my body resists and cannot cope bc of hormonal imbalance.
I really do not know sometimes if I'm more desperate, depressed or angry about this s*it.
Why does this have to happen to us all WHY ?
Get your MD to order a Dexa Bone density scan. You could be getting osteoporosis
Painful joints is really annoying
I have to say that the Gynecologist, I consulted,at my Premature Menopause aged 39,was both sympathetic and very helpful to me
Some Doctors are well informed and empathetic
Yes there are some good doctors out there but they are hard to find. I’m happy you have one.
For me it was the headaches. Started in 2020. I thought it was covid stress. That fall the hot flashes started. Then I realized what was going on! It's great to have informative videos like this. I feel like when it comes to menopause, women are just floating in the middle of a vast ocean in a dingy!
For me one of the worst parts of all of this has been not knowing if it could possibly be covid related or menopause. I feel like my age group has gotten the short end because of 2020.
Thas exactly how i felt as well enxiety swollen ankles temper no interest in sex and naw my marriage is gone as well cant we just grow old with easy😅😅 at 47 feels like crap
Thanks for the video. I m 48yrs n going through all these symptoms. Was worried alot for my health but never told by my doctor that it is bcoz of menopause. Got great mentally relief after this video. God bless you.
I love your channel. I’m not trying to sound snarky 🙏🏼 I promise!!
I think the symptoms list of pain is excellent and very informative but….we can also (some of us) just say EVERYTHING, literally each cell …like every single cell!!! and system!!! hurts terribly during peri, and post menopause.😢 it’s just so upsetting. Gosh, I really pray for all my menopause sisters here. And thank you Kari! Channel is so wonderful.💗
Tanking hormones can affect every body system and some of us suffer terribly, myself included. It was my torturous symptoms and dismissive doctors that prompted my continuous research and this channel. Groups of symptoms do have common factors though that worsen the torture like insomnia and chronic inflammation in the body. If we can work on improving those types of things we can turn down our suffering a notch or two. I will never stop looking for things to help myself and others. Much love and hugs to you!🥰
I couldn’t agree with you more. I just started experiencing my first Menopause back pains during the weekend, honestly, it was alarming. Just to say the least. I’ve never had back pains before and to have felt such sharp pain on Saturday afternoon and now sporadic ones since then was quite scary. I’m learning a lot about Menopause that I never knew or was told about by anyone.
Couldn’t agree more. This is a different kind of pain and exhaustion. Especially the muscle tightness.
Fresh ginger or powder , added to ur diet, helps with inflammation try it !
I started pre menopause 5 years ago. I seriously want my period back so bad. I have all of these symptoms . Its awful, besides my thyroid problem problems and the hot flashes . Thanks for this video
🥺
Wow!! best video and explanations on these symptoms. I'm 54 started peri menopause at 40 and I experienced all of these pains. 2014 was my worst anxiety, stress, tiredness, panic attacks and the list goes on. I remembered in the mornings I was always tired bcuz of lack of sleep and was always very exhausted on the job. Now after 14yrs I still have some of the symptoms pains in the feet and legs and breast plus others. So thankful for this video bcuz doctors never seem to tell us these thing always sending us to do tests which cost a whole lot. I'm new to the chanel started watching 2 days ago. Searching for more of your videos and will soon subscribe. ❤
I recently told my mom that women should talk to younger women about the menopause journey. This way I wouldn't think I was crazy when I say my damn knee just started hurting out of no where😂.. Thank you, these videos help more than you know❤
Yeah, I didn't get the memo either 😊
I just remember my mom talk about hot flashes and not other issues but could be not remembering.
I can’t believe I’m pretty much in menopause but was definitely dealing with ALL of this in the last decade or more! In particular, the widespread body pain! With an auto immune illness, my entire life, I kept thinking, I was definitely going to get diagnosed with MS or something… Turns out everything was inconclusive. Every time I went to the doctor… Your videos have been a real eye-opener. Basically no estrogen equals we might as well end it! So why aren’t we all getting supplemented with the proper amounts of it or something to take its place when all of this starts!?? Why is there just so little information except for the last year or so about HRT etc.? Even now working with a naturopath has been a clunky process to get estrogen replacement along with progesterone and the proper amounts, but humorously enough out of all of the agonizing symptoms the one symptom that got me the most upset was the hot flashes. I absolutely could not handle them and ultimately that is what ended me up on HRT which did stop those symptoms but that was three months ago and I’m still wondering about the body pain… I still have it pretty good but that comment about the feet hurting so bad it was like walking on marbles that definitely was going on with me and has gone away… I also had a raging case of tennis elbow, which I ended up getting a PRP shot for a year later it finally did go away..agonizing. All I can say is, I am praying that science gets better because living like this is no picnic!
I experience 10 out of the 12 pains that you said
Until i saw this video, i didn't know that all these pains were due to menopause
Thanks a lot for the above informations 🙏
7 years in for me. Yeah I figured the hot flashes would subside eventually. Sigh they only got worse. Plus, the foot pain, shoddy peripheral vision, poor sleep, vision loss, and a host of other symptoms you have mentioned in your other videos. The worst one is the V atrophy. Couldn't get any great advice from my Drs. Don't really know what to do about it. Brings me to tears. I appreciate your video's though. New subscriber here.
I hope you were at least given a script for low dose vaginal estrogen cream. It helps a lot long term for atrophy. The discomfort can be torturous.
@@KariAnneWright never heard of it. They just asked me what I had tried so far and shrugged when I told them nothing had worked. I'll bring up the estrogen cream with my next appointment. Thanks for your thoughtful response. 💕
To embarrass to ask for it the pharmacists all know me when I pick up my meds. Don’t wanna get that prescription filled, vaginal cream. Anything helpful over the counter ,Womens aisle ?
I'm 50 and am going for HRT soon. No need to be embarrassed in buying cream for vagina. Its medication for soreness, not for fun.
Tendinitis here. Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis
I'm struggling with shoulder tendonitus... Very painful... Treating with physio twice a week.
I've come up to overthinking whether i have a sickness called uterus cancer until i saw and learn from you. Thank u so much because all of these pre menopausal syndrome is what i am suffering now🙏God bless u and keep on giving us info
I have TERRIBLE leg pain......this video has helped ease my mind regarding my experiences with pain, especially at night, along with anxiety and insomomia. Thanks!
I have leg pain also as well as fibromyalgia
Do you experience the pain in your feet ?
This is sooooo comforting to hear. I was surely about to visit the er a couple times over many of these symptoms. Particularly the chest and leg pain. Thank you so much for this. 💕💕
Why does God hate us so much? Seriously? We thought puberty was horrible but when it was over we thought hey if we can get through that pregnancy won't be that bad. And it probably wasn't for most women until - childbirth. That was hell. Then we thought well if we've gotten past that phase we're home free. Menopause will be a breeze because that means we can have all the unprotected sex we want with our male partners without the worry of pregnancy and bonus no more bloating cramps or monthly visits from the period fairy. But- then we learned that this was its own special kind of hell. WHY DIDN'T OUR MOTHERS EVER TALK TO US ABOUT THIS?!!! I will never understand why women were so reluctant to discuss something that happens to all women if they live long enough. Whenever you ask older women about menopause even in this day and age they very rarely tell you much of anything. They just nod and say 'oh yeah i had that' or some other vague nonsense that amounts to no information at all. It's maddeningly frustrating. I have no idea what I should expect or what symptoms I can attribute to menopause or just my own general bitchiness.
I blame Eve.
I dealt with body pain a few years ago, and then it quit, leading me to think I was past that season. Unfortunately it reappeared a couple months ago. 😣 It's the worst!!! Thank you for all you do!
So sorry to hear that. I wish my pain would leave and stay gone! I don’t remember what it feels like to not have pain. I bet it’s heavenly!
Same with me. Came back with cramps and a few other symptoms.
So glad you had a break. What is the longest was your pain? Middle back pain seems too long pushing 6 months now.
I was in such pain from my legs that I thought I was gonna throw up! Thank you for making this videos for all of us. You're an angel!🙂
Finally, the answer to all my questions.
Thank you so much!
Happy to help!😊
I just watched the video. Thank you so much for addressing the symptoms. I have been experiencing all of them since my mid 40's and am now in my 50's. I wish doctor's would be more educated in women's health and not brush you off or say it's part of aging.
When we go into Menopause we should all retire or go on SSi..lol
Yessssss!
Menopause was effecting my feet and ankles and knees for such a long time , I was going threw so many pairs of shoes. I wish someone had told me it was menopause , not even the docter sussed it. I had to get eastrogen in the end from a better docter. Great video woman really need to know this stuff
Men have it so easy
This is an invaluable video! And for me, this all began in my late 30s. Doctors treated the symptoms, not the root cause - loss of Estrogen. So much pain and stiffness. Decades of misery and loss of self esteem, not knowing about the cause of my brain fog. Teach all young women early so that they know what's happening and can take HRT to prevent suffering.
OMG thank you so much maam.im impressed!

In every video so far that I have watched about peri menopause check check check.. I thought I was going insane. Thank you for these videos. You’re a blessing. God bless you.
My kidneys been hurting on menapose I got them tested and they fine
I'm 43 and have been to the er multiple times in the past year for most of these symptoms. I've had catscans and MRIs , all of which found nothing. I'm wondering if I had been treated by female doctors, I would have been given this information, and my mind could have been put at ease. Ty for this video. Information is power .
😢
Almost like the perimenopause symptoms wasn't enough,now all these aches and pains,lower back,and knees,I guess I don't have to explain, but thanks for everything, your a Star!
You’re kind. Thank you!😊
Like having kids and messing up our figures and going through menstrual cycles monthly wasn't enough🤦🏻♀
😔
Thanks for sharing your experience with us 🙏 when I had my periods I never had no pain or any problems I finally finished menopause about two years now and also never had any symptoms too thank God 🙏
Thank God is right. 🙌🏼
Women are all different. You are blessed.
But what do U mean finished menopause ?
This lady is sooo cool. When i check out her channel I feel like I'm not alone.
She's very informative and humerous🤔
Every man with a woman in his life should watch this
Not going to lie, my wife is going through some of these and great lesson learned here. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this...I have been dealing with all this.😭😭
Me too!😩😏 Hugs!
I am 39 years and i also experiencing some of this signs of menopause 😢
I am 50 now. I have many of these. They increse with the years ( I am menopausic since I have 36 years old)
Did they pinppint what went wrong if I may ask? Menopause is a debilating condition that is said a natur process. Women researchers ought to do something about the condition like men who are busy doing research work on prostatic troubles.
For me, giving up wheat, grains, sugar and processed foods helped a lot. I also wear Combipatch which has helped.
Thank you for this information that is making me feel a little more comfort. Its exhausting 😴 😢😢
It truly is exhausting! Hugs!❤️
Gosh,,thank you for all the info,,,I thought I was busy dying of some kind of unfamiliar illnesses or something.I'm so relieved,now I can do something about it.Thanks girlfriend..
Oh my goodness you said it all,,Thank you ,been going to the doctors for just about everything,& that muscles pains my God,everything your saying is so true.I needed this .Very helpful,Thank you 👍
Wim Hof breathing has helped all of my symptoms ! I do it every day.
I have planter fasatiltis on my feet, costochondritis since peri.
I've got plantar fascitis too I didn't realise it was related to peri menopause into menopause last period a few months ago.
Tonight I experienced that period-like pain in the abdomen, so thats it, thank u my dear
I am 46 years old and in perimenopause, and i have some of the pain in some parts of my body still.
I have a lot of the pain in a lot of my body so I empathize.
This is exactly what I’m dealing with. I keep feeling very weak and dizzy too. I feel like my blood sugar is dropping since I have low blood sugar issues. When I test it it’s fine. The Dr’s have no clue about peri- menopause or menopause! I stretch and my back hurts more. My physical therapist told me to stop stretching and when I do I can’t move very well.
😢
Great job mapping out the symptoms and sources. I didn't have those(so far) but what frstrates me is I heal and recover more slowly. I used to bounce back so fast and now I don't.
Your videos were directly from God. Thank you so much. I thought I was loosing my mind when the body pain started after menopause. It was by the Grace of God that I stumbled upon you. God bless you and your generation, miss Kari Ann. Keep up the good work ❤. From Trinidad 🇹🇹
That is what i feel nowadays..perimenopause made me stressful living..and its drained my mind,mood off and irritited..thank you Kari for the very imformative vedios its help me as well..Gbu
I’m happy that I was able to help in some small way. I also feel as if I am living a stressful life. Anxiety is very real especially when pain is involved. Hugs!
Back pain that feels like a knife is stuck in lower back.
#3 I keep blaming the change in barometric pressure LOL

Menopause is horrible!! It seems like literally everything mentally and physically are affected.
