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!

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!

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 .
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 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
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.
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'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.
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 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!!
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.
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 !
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.
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 ?
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
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.
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 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 🙏
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'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 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
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
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❤
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
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.
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
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 🇹🇹
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 .
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!
Losing weight, switching to an anti-inflammatory diet and HRT have all reduced my symptoms massively. But I still ache and have swollen joints (which apparently aren’t arthritic).
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 👍
Man where were you 10 years ago when I thought I was broke beyond repair?!?! THANK YOU for doing these!! And all you women out there SHE IS RIGHT! You might not have all of them or have them continually but every woman I know has had these symptoms
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.
I am 45 and started having horrible issues in dec 2023. Had to stop drinking coffee have all these symptoms plus terrible sinus issues and skin rashes and hives. Cant wear daily contacts anymore. Besides missing and grieving the loss of my beloved coffee, For me the insomnia is the worst. I havent slept well in months and if i am up all night till morning i get angry mad at myself try to self harm and the suicidal thoughts take over. Thank you for this video. I should show to my planned parenthood physician who told me no menopause all in my head and did not even do a physical exam on me. This is by far for me the worst time in my life and i have been through some sh#t!!!!
I was diagnosed with JRA at 18. I am 60 now and going through menopause. Boy, this has increased my joint pain even more. Am on the Estradiol patch for few weeks now, may need to increase dosage.
I'm 52 and I'm going to all of that some days are worst some Dr it's say it's normal be we woman feel terrible and the don't understand it but I appreciate for example us and understanding more bless you 🙏
I already have a neurological condition. I have been soooooooo bad. My muscles and joints are twice as bad. I cant take hrt so started a supplement which helps. I never knew any of this!!!! I litterally have sat and cried. Thanks for this. Luckily i have muscle relaxants and pain killers as well as a million heat pads.
I’ve watched several of your videos and I can’t help but notice how peri & menopause have EXACTLY the same symptoms as my genetic disease: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (type III) with it comes PoTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, hypoglycemia and the list goes on. It’s all nearly identical! I just had a baby 9 months ago and I’ll be turning 40 in a few months… I swear having my last child triggered peri menopause!😮
Am 43 and also have type III EDS. Have just in the last few weeks seen a gynae specialist after a few years of worsening symptoms to be told that I'm pretty far along in my peri-menopause. It's just SO similar. I was blaming a LOT of things on the EDS thinking I'm really going downhill and worsening. It's kind of comforting to know that's not the case!
I have all of this too. It took until age 35+ to get an actual correct diagnosis, and only after nearly needing an ankle prosthetic. I finally am getting treatment, and now I believe that I'm starting peri-menopause. 🤦♀️ I'm currently 44. 🥲
I have also been going through all this symptoms, from one sickness to another. I have this foot and under foot pains for over a year now and still very painful.
That’s a houseful!😺 We lost one of our kitties in December.😥 I wish they could live 50 years instead of 15-20. I love my animals so much! They help my anxiety.
Hi I am just turning 60 in august. Been taking estrogen n progesterone for 6 years. Went off a mth ago. Still having night sweats. N omg even on meds I had all these pain. My dr doesn’t listen. I feel at a lost. I don’t no what to do anymore. Please help. I just want to feel good so sad
It’s hard. I empathize. I’m a walking ache. My diet, magnesium and keeping up with my water intake helps me quite a bit. Collagen seems to be helping some too although I was skeptical initially.
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I'VE BEEN SUFFERING FOR 5 Years and NONE of my specialists mentioned menopause although I began to figure it out last year and began HRT earlier this year. Thank you for what you do.
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. ❤
@@KariAnneWright Thank you for making these videos for us, I have joined your group here and will learn more how to help myself.All the best to you Dear Lady. Jana
Great. So this is my life now 🥺 Every single joint hurts, every day. The bones in the tops of my feet feel like they've been trampled by elephants. My headaches and anxiety are SO bad, I've felt like I must have a brain tumour, or be about to have a heart attack.
Have you tried collagen? The powders never did much for me but the liquid collagen I take now has made a big difference to my body wide discomforts. Women lose so much more collagen in menopause and it affects the entire body in many ways including sore, achy joints, tendons and muscles.
I'm 51 , and I have been Dizzy for 2 years now! Also, I have back ,feet ,neck & elbow pain ! But being Dizzy is the worst for me! I keep getting a startling feel in my head too! Makes my head feel like it's pulling to one side ! They say it's vertigo!
Vertigo is pure hell. Mine came on suddenly 3 years ago. I thought I was stroking out. Had lots of test. Now it comes back periodically. It has happened while driving which is super frightening. I have a few tricks to make it stop but have anxiety about the next sneak attack. 60 yrs old
Funny how as you mentioned each symptom...I was checking it off as I'm feeling them all. Question: I was diagnosed with PCOS at 13yrs old..its been a roller coaster ride for me physically and emotionally. Are the symptoms stronger with PCOS...cause there are day I feel I don't want to be around anymore... The pain is so deep. I also have a new one..not sure if it's related MP...My hair doesn't hold the color anymore. For the last 2 yrs after coloring...I can just grab a stand of hair and it just comes off... Thank you for all the videos..there are really helpful.
I dyed my hair for 20 plus years and it started falling out in clumps a couple of years ago. Last year I decided to cut it all off and start over. I've gotten used to my black hair mixed with white hair and growing it back it's so soft now. I just touch it myself all the time lol. So since I'm going white I decided to do a highlight of blond on one side and it looks pretty nice. It's finally coming off my neck in the back and I hope to grow it a couple of more inches in the next 2 years. I had to adjust to looking different head/hair color wise but I've gotten compliments so I guess I still look ok.
People don’t really know what we women go through❤️
Ok 👌

Me too
Women goes through so much BEFORE MENOPAUSE & After Menopause
Thanks,Kari♥️
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 🔥
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'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.
49 yrs old menopause stomach discomfort,sometimes cold stomach,burping a lot and farting😥
Stomach issues can be a real issue. I find I have to really watch what I eat now.
@@KariAnneWright thank you for the reply ms kari anne
Im from philippines❤❤❤
Exactly..my mom feels cold inside her stomach and she has acid reflux..she has diarrhea as well as constipation.
I've never heard of or felt a "cold stomach" sensation...🤔
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 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!!
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.
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 !
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.
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.
I'm 53 and the menopause has left me feeling tired, old and I feel like crap!!!
🥺😔
Me too 😔
same here
Same here. I'm 55.
I’m almost 59 and never felt anything at all, apart from not having periods that’s all 😮
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.
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!
I also have tingling and itching on my scalp like worms are crawling through my hair, how lovely
Sorry
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 ?
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 🙏
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'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 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
🥺
I have been in perimenopause for over 15 years and not know my God all things i have been going through
This is the new one. Joint aches. It is like a circus.
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
It’s my pleasure!🥰 Wishing you well!
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!🙂
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.
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
Finally, the answer to all my questions.
Thank you so much!
Happy to help!😊
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.
Tendinitis here. Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis
I'm struggling with shoulder tendonitus... Very painful... Treating with physio twice a week.
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
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 🇹🇹
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'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 .
😢
*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.
Thank you for this information that is making me feel a little more comfort. Its exhausting 😴 😢😢
It truly is exhausting! Hugs!❤️
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!
Wim Hof breathing has helped all of my symptoms ! I do it every day.
Losing weight, switching to an anti-inflammatory diet and HRT have all reduced my symptoms massively. But I still ache and have swollen joints (which apparently aren’t arthritic).
Try adding collagen.
I have swollen legs joints too. I was afraid it's kidney problem.
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 👍
Man where were you 10 years ago when I thought I was broke beyond repair?!?! THANK YOU for doing these!! And all you women out there SHE IS RIGHT! You might not have all of them or have them continually but every woman I know has had these symptoms
Men have it so easy
For me, giving up wheat, grains, sugar and processed foods helped a lot. I also wear Combipatch which has helped.
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.
😢
Every man with a woman in his life should watch this
I am 45 and started having horrible issues in dec 2023. Had to stop drinking coffee have all these symptoms plus terrible sinus issues and skin rashes and hives. Cant wear daily contacts anymore. Besides missing and grieving the loss of my beloved coffee, For me the insomnia is the worst. I havent slept well in months and if i am up all night till morning i get angry mad at myself try to self harm and the suicidal thoughts take over. Thank you for this video. I should show to my planned parenthood physician who told me no menopause all in my head and did not even do a physical exam on me. This is by far for me the worst time in my life and i have been through some sh#t!!!!
🥺😔
I was diagnosed with JRA at 18. I am 60 now and going through menopause. Boy, this has increased my joint pain even more. Am on the Estradiol patch for few weeks now, may need to increase dosage.
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.
I'm 52 and I'm going to all of that some days are worst some Dr it's say it's normal be we woman feel terrible and the don't understand it but I appreciate for example us and understanding more bless you 🙏
I already have a neurological condition. I have been soooooooo bad. My muscles and joints are twice as bad. I cant take hrt so started a supplement which helps. I never knew any of this!!!! I litterally have sat and cried. Thanks for this. Luckily i have muscle relaxants and pain killers as well as a million heat pads.
🥺😔
I’ve watched several of your videos and I can’t help but notice how peri & menopause have EXACTLY the same symptoms as my genetic disease: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (type III) with it comes PoTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, hypoglycemia and the list goes on. It’s all nearly identical!
I just had a baby 9 months ago and I’ll be turning 40 in a few months… I swear having my last child triggered peri menopause!😮
Yes symptoms can be caused by other conditions as well. Menopause is one cause.
Am 43 and also have type III EDS. Have just in the last few weeks seen a gynae specialist after a few years of worsening symptoms to be told that I'm pretty far along in my peri-menopause. It's just SO similar. I was blaming a LOT of things on the EDS thinking I'm really going downhill and worsening. It's kind of comforting to know that's not the case!
When does menopause end?
@@peterkostiuk9739 when you die
I have all of this too. It took until age 35+ to get an actual correct diagnosis, and only after nearly needing an ankle prosthetic. I finally am getting treatment, and now I believe that I'm starting peri-menopause. 🤦♀️ I'm currently 44. 🥲
When we go into Menopause we should all retire or go on SSi..lol
Yessssss!
I have also been going through all this symptoms, from one sickness to another. I have this foot and under foot pains for over a year now and still very painful.
😢
Love your cat
I have six of my own plus a darling Chihuahua
Such great company
That’s a houseful!😺 We lost one of our kitties in December.😥 I wish they could live 50 years instead of 15-20. I love my animals so much! They help my anxiety.
I love your cat…I have two cats, and they help me so much
Thank you, Kari Anne! You're awesome. Thank you for sharing all this great info with everyone. Yah bless you! John 14:6 🥰
Hi I am just turning 60 in august. Been taking estrogen n progesterone for 6 years. Went off a mth ago. Still having night sweats. N omg even on meds I had all these pain. My dr doesn’t listen. I feel at a lost. I don’t no what to do anymore. Please help. I just want to feel good so sad
It’s hard. I empathize. I’m a walking ache. My diet, magnesium and keeping up with my water intake helps me quite a bit. Collagen seems to be helping some too although I was skeptical initially.
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I'VE BEEN SUFFERING FOR 5 Years and NONE of my specialists mentioned menopause although I began to figure it out last year and began HRT earlier this year. Thank you for what you do.
What is HRT please?
Has the HRT helped you??

@@lanaofficiel4042 I think so but I can’t point towards the exact effects.
Thank you that you spoke for us women.....men don't understand.🙄
I sent your video tomy husband.
......
hopefully he understands a little better.
Many thanx anwers alot of my aches n pains menopause since 45 nw 56 still suffering u a big help
I was thrown into menopause because of a hysterectomy. You forgot the hot flashes that feels like someone threw fire on you 🔹your kitty is adorable.😻
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. ❤
Menopause is horrible!! It seems like literally everything mentally and physically are affected.
🥺
Again I thank you! I was starting to think I was alone in some of these.
You are so awesome 👍🏼 I feel like you are a mother to me and are telling me all that I am going through this is okay 😊 thank you for sharing
oh wow you are describing all of my symptoms, i feel relief just hearing this. thank you i feel so grateful.
Very informative video! Thank you for all that you do Kari.
Always happy to help!😊
Sometime I just get helpless...life really happened before 55 for me, now, this is a struggle and I have to keep accepting more than I can handle.
🥺
@@KariAnneWright Thank you for making these videos for us, I have joined your group here and will learn more how to help myself.All the best to you Dear Lady. Jana
the leg pain and cramps suck 😔
Great. So this is my life now 🥺
Every single joint hurts, every day. The bones in the tops of my feet feel like they've been trampled by elephants. My headaches and anxiety are SO bad, I've felt like I must have a brain tumour, or be about to have a heart attack.
🥺
Legs and ankles hurt
Oh wow. Am going thru all of those. So terrible. 😢😢😢
🥺
I’m soooo happy I found your channel!
I was just so worried about pain in my hands and feet 🦶 But I’m 45 And have all menopause symptoms. When does it end?
I wish there was a set age for the end of the agony.😮💨
I Can't even exercise my 🦵 pain Started 3 years ago it has gotten worse an very low in Energy your Advice will be very greatfull Thanks
Have you tried collagen? The powders never did much for me but the liquid collagen I take now has made a big difference to my body wide discomforts. Women lose so much more collagen in menopause and it affects the entire body in many ways including sore, achy joints, tendons and muscles.
Hi Kari I’m from India ,love your videos very informative helped me a lot.
I’m happy to hear that!😊 I’m glad you like my videos.
I'm 51 , and I have been Dizzy for 2 years now! Also, I have back ,feet ,neck & elbow pain !
But being Dizzy is the worst for me! I keep getting a startling feel in my head too! Makes my head feel like it's pulling to one side ! They say it's vertigo!
🥺
Vertigo is pure hell. Mine came on suddenly 3 years ago. I thought I was stroking out. Had lots of test. Now it comes back periodically. It has happened while driving which is super frightening. I have a few tricks to make it stop but have anxiety about the next sneak attack. 60 yrs old
Funny how as you mentioned each symptom...I was checking it off as I'm feeling them all.
Question: I was diagnosed with PCOS at 13yrs old..its been a roller coaster ride for me physically and emotionally. Are the symptoms stronger with PCOS...cause there are day I feel I don't want to be around anymore...
The pain is so deep.
I also have a new one..not sure if it's related MP...My hair doesn't hold the color anymore. For the last 2 yrs after coloring...I can just grab a stand of hair and it just comes off...
Thank you for all the videos..there are really helpful.
You will likely struggle with symptoms from both. I have fibro as well as menopause symptoms and I suffer a lot. I empathize! Hugs!
I dyed my hair for 20 plus years and it started falling out in clumps a couple of years ago. Last year I decided to cut it all off and start over. I've gotten used to my black hair mixed with white hair and growing it back it's so soft now. I just touch it myself all the time lol. So since I'm going white I decided to do a highlight of blond on one side and it looks pretty nice. It's finally coming off my neck in the back and I hope to grow it a couple of more inches in the next 2 years. I had to adjust to looking different head/hair color wise but I've gotten compliments so I guess I still look ok.
EXERCISING HELPS ME THRU THE PAIN...
