So much needs to be discussed, it’s NOT JUST HOT FLASHES. There’s severe anxiety, chest pain, arm pain etc… and most drs do not understand hrt, but are reeeeal happy to give you antidepressants.
Don’t forget all the stupid electrical shocks randomly shooting through random parts of your body, especially the abdominal area. I hate it. Why do we have to go through all of this for the majority of our lives? That’s something I’m asking Jesus when I die.
@@kellyverbeek6759 I realize this comment is from 6 months ago but I have developed all of these symptoms! I feel like I’m losing my mind. I just turned 42 and although I had some symptoms before, but in the fast few months it’s hitting me hard! I’m always hot, I get so many random pains. I also have Crohn’s disease and a rare disease called HHT. So I’m always on edge. No one talks about how horrible perimenopause is!
I've looked at so many doctor videos on TH-cam about pre menopause symptoms not one mentions the debilitating symptoms of dizziness and disorientation and vision problems - I've been keeping track of my cycle for 2 years and I always get them about a week before menstruation. it is so scary to go through it. this is making me feel like I'm going nuts. it is so disappointing that all these medical professionals talk about the generic hot flashes, mood swings, depression. it's 2024, for heaven's sake! you must have more to give to women who are suffering these debilitating symptoms :(((((((
Ok...I didn't even pair the vision problems and peri menopause together! About a week before my cycle I've been having blurred vision and these like flecks in my peripheral vision and when I look to the side they're gone. I can't believe someone commented this. I thought I was going crazy!! Went to an eye doctor and I'm in tip top shape with my vision as well! Thank you for making my anxiety way less now :) I'm 41 and I still feel young but it just feels like my body is falling apart!
Yes, I have been seeing stars and having dizzy spells but I also have been having balance issues, its definitely more than clumsiness, im 44 and I agree, mentally I do not feel old enough to go through this but my body is laughing at me saying, bi**h u gettin old lol..
Glad perimenopause and menopause discussions are being spoken more openly! It's something every women should keep a pulse on starting in their 30s. I noticed a sudden drop in motivationat age 40 so I've put on weight from stopping exercise completely. Cannot for the life of me get back on the horse, so to speak. I used to work out 5 days a week. Found Dr. Marie Claire Haver recently, been reading and watching her stuff, and started the Galveston diet. Just 1 week into taking anti-inflammatory supplements and a diet change, and I can see aging reverse and feel my mental health improve.
I am 44 will be 45 in August and I have been having hot flashes and horrible night sweats and crying for no reason and it started all the sudden like 3 weeks ago. I'm so glad I found found these videos to help explain what I already figured is going on with me. I just started taking black cohosh to help regulate hot flashes and it seems to help, I hope it will help with the night sweats so I can sleep better, its crazy I don't feel old enough to go through this but my body reminds me every day that it's getting older lol.
Loss of libido, loss of desire for affection, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, dry / itchy skin, pelvic pain, irritability, touch avoidant, weight gain, anxiety, depression, self image issues, etc....
@@livkind3522 Doesn't help when ALL physical intimacy is withdrawn and withheld either. Nothing says I love you like forced celibacy with zero affection for years...
I'm so glad this is being discussed. Im 41 and found out last year this is what I was going through. Had no idea this was a thing. No women in my family ever talked about perimenopause. I felt blindsided by this. Thank you for bringing this to light. This needs to be talked about more.
Gen X was not fully prepared for this! My Mom didn’t discuss it! We have got to stay on top of our doctors because a lot of them are still stuck in the dark ages we need HRT!!!
I'm Gen X, and my mum never explained anything about approaching the "change of life". Am finding out for myself the hard way. Hopefully a few more years and it'll be over with 😂
My gynecologist told me I was going to have a mental breakdown. I was like, no shi$, Sherlock. It's horrible! Mood swings (out of control), anxiety with shortness of breath, night sweats, brain fog, feeling absolutely crazy because I couldn't string a sentence together and feel like I'm in slow motion. I feel like I am in a trance sometimes just staring out into space. Bleeding for days on end. I am also constantly overwhelmed by the smallest things. A hair on the floor, dishes that need unloaded out of the dishwasher can send me into a crying spell with the mindset that I just can't do it, it feels like too much all at once.
It freaking sucks. My breast have been on fire for over a week. Plus my vision went south overnight. I cry at the smallest things. That’s what bought me here, searching for answers.
I'm a husband and father married for nearly 25 years, I believe my wife has started this, her periods have be erratic mood swings etc, however what is effecting us most she struggles to even make eye contact or even go out for our coffee, she doesn't want to talk about it, have you got any advice for me to help her and help get the connection back, I miss her shes my best friend. ?
@@paulmuaddib3470 Won't make eye contact? She might be ashamed about something, maybe because she knows she is acting unloving to you (and others). She's probably being eaten up by guilt. I don't know. She needs to know that she's not going insane and that you aren't going to abandon her. That's sweet to mention she's your best friend. Maybe give her a card saying something to the effect of, "You're my best friend. I believe in you and hope you have a beautiful day!" Don't say ANYTHING like, "I love you even though you are always moody." In fact, I wouldn't even let her know you can tell she's struggling. May the only thing she thinks is, "This man thinks I'm queen of the world and that we are a perfect fit!" Once her self esteem has been boosted long enough, she might soften up and share her heart with you and lay it all out.
I’m in my early 40s and I’m having terrible anxiety heart palpitations.. it’s awful! I just got off birth control and my symptoms have become more severe. I exercise and I’m eating healthier.. I gained over 45 lbs! Doctor put me on Xanax but I refuse to take it because of the side effects… I’m still getting my period and have awful heart flashes. I’m praying to God doctors can find a proper solution for me! I can deal with so much except for anxiety and palpitations.. it’s one of the worse feelings EVER!
Wild that we are talking about this like it’s new. It’s been going on since the beginning but just goes to show that women need way more/better medical research which has clearly been neglected.
I’m 33, last year my cycle came and stayed for 7 months. There were like 15 days where I wasn’t bleeding. My gyn was concerned but all testing came back negative. Got hot flashes, mood swings, and other changes. Now my cycle is on/off. Can’t say for certain this is peri, but also can’t think of anything else it could be. All I know is it’s taking a toll on me both mentally and physically.
I'm 40 and it started for me fully last year at 39, the symptoms are not pleasant, doc says it's menapause I had my period the next month my periods are a rollercoaster and so are the symptoms smh , I take a new med to help with some of the symptoms, but I'm premenopausal, you are not alone in this , it will and can get better the question is when
I’m also 33 and I’ve had the night sweats on and off since I was 30 🙈 my doctor wouldn’t even test me at all but it’s interesting that you say it didn’t show up in tests. Maybe mine wouldn’t either. 🙈🙈🙈 I’ve got dry skin and the mood swings and my cycle is changing, I can get it twice in a month being around other women and now this month it was barely even there and only lasted 3 days 🙈 We need so much more education and testing on this subject
This Doctor needs to be retrained because the first symptoms vary, my first symptom was vitamin D deficiency, joint swelling, joint pain, heart palpitations etc I suffered until I educated myself because every Doctor I saw gaslit me and severely failed their oath to do no harm.
40yo here. Tubal at 27 and starting seeing changes in my cycle in 2013. Here are my symptoms right now that turn up when I’m ovulating or about to be visited by Flo: Hot flashes Cold flashes Lower back ache Neck ache Nausea after eating Electric shocks in head followed by hot flash Night sweats Insomnia Heartburn Vertigo (this one is bad) Burping Hope this helps y’all! I won’t do HRT because perimenopause is natural and I don’t want to put anything synthetic in my body that may confuse it. The silver lining is that, for me at least, these symptoms aren’t all at once and only for a few days a month.
Something isn’t bad just because not “natural.” Heart attacks are natural. Death is natural. HRT for many people can potentially extend their lifespan and decrease risks for things such as cardiovascular disease in women.
@@GW-gz8jh I didn’t chastise anybody using HRT, I just said I won’t. That’s a personal choice. Perimenopause symptoms are survivable, many women went through it before HRT was even a thing. Botulism can happen naturally from wound or food contamination, but I wouldn’t put Botox in my face even if it does have FDA approval.
I am 46, my mom was killed when I was 4. I have nobody to ask questions of. THIS IS EXACTLY what Ive been enduring since turning 45!! I had NO IDEA ❤❤ thank you
@@islandgirllove9114 I swear my Doc is about 16... lol. What did you do to help your state of well being? I have learned 2 main things so far, hot "flashes" are constant, not flashes, and this is psychological warfare within myself!
I am definitely perimenopausal! I have mood swings and I am angry all the time. I cant sleep and I am all over the place lately! My petiods are all over the place. And I am bleeding more and in pain more!
@@taraceleste I agree ☝️ in my late 30’s my children noticed something was up with me before I did. I’m a mother of 7 and the symptoms hit me like a bomb 💣. I have no female relatives willing to discuss this with. Until recently my neighbor who helps me drastically. This needs to be discussed more.
I’m 49 and I’m experiencing this as I type. My cycle has been inconsistent since November. I didn’t have one. December it started spotting on the 12. Spotted ip until the 31st and now as of January 2025. It’s been bleeding heavy and passing blood clots everyday. It is getting overwhelming.
If you’re in midlife and you feel your life is crashing all around you -that is perimenopause. Free fall, ready to abandon your career, marriage and children-that is perimenopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, forgetting things are the obvious ones but really it’s a lot more and can be utterly debilitating. HRT works. Your doctor will probably try antidepressants or anti anxiety meds but that is not the answer if your hormones are low or simply gone. “Dressing in layers” is utter baloney by the way. HRT ensures the hormones you need are replaced so you can return to a normal balance and it works. It also prevents serious health issues as you age. Being without hormones isn’t necessary or normal for people who far outlive their reproductive years.
Is being overly sensitive a symptom? Because I’ve always been non-chalant. Now I find myself worrying about how someone feels about me. Or, being left out. I NEVER cared about being left out….. I feel soooo strange
Unfortunately many younger women and lower income women are not getting treated with sensitivity. They are either too young , something else is going on,or it's just stress. And believe me one problem exacerbates the other and it's a never ending cycle. You can have all the symptoms but if the hormones aren't off the charts it's ok. We need to get real serious about women's real health issues because women are taking care of their children! Children are our future. Thank you.
I have abdominal cramps, constipation, (very heavy period which my periods use to be normal) lower back pain that's also shooting down my legs and passing blood clots which is my first time passing clots like this. Went to the ER and they said I have a 8.5 CM fibroid on my uterus 😭 have ur GYN check ur uterus for fibroids hun. Hope you feel better 🙏🏻🩷
By me reading some of the comments on here some of you need to get checked for fibroids. You might have them if you are in your 30s or even 40s. Get an MRI its the best thing to do to see if you have fibroids or most of you are hitting premenopause. FIBROIDS are not talked about very often.
I do believe alot of our problems are our diets, bad habits, the company we keep lifestyle change is very important not just the outside but the inside of us im going to start fasting and get myself together vecause tgis isnt fun at all
I eat all natural foods at home. Like fresh fruits and vegetables, plain yogurt, plain Greek yogurt, unsalted nuts, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, cardamom, cinnamon, basil, turmeric, chick peas, kidney beans, black beans, black eye peas, tofu, tempeh, edamame, spinach, kale, water, coconut water, herbal teas, etc.. The problem is, when you go out to eat, you won't get all these foods.. You'll get unhealthy food.. So, you've got to be really choosy. I try getting as much sleep as possible. Some days are better than others. Exercise??? Same thing. It depends on my energy levels. You see, I have chronic pain issues. I am a hydrocephalus patient and I also have spasticity in my legs. So, I can't do strenuous exerciseing. Each of us is different.
I’m 50 been off depo provers since October of last year. I have itchy skin at night, dizziness, only had two short periods, anxiety , hot n cold and low libido. Is this all normal?
I felt like I'm busy losing my mind on the 1st of January this year. I've been suffering from depression, anxiety and ptsd since after the birth of my son, but I had the worst anxiety/ panic attacks on New Years day. It was the longest day, because I stopped using my anti anxiety meds, but yoooh I almost committed suicide. I couldn't sleep, eat, i just drank tons of water and kept busy, until I couldnt stand on my feet again. I thought I will definitely end up in a psych ward, but God helped me and the next day i called my psychiatrist to write me script for my anxiety. I'm much better, hot flashes is also less, i just suffer from extreme fatigue because I don't get into a deep sleep. So I'm mentaĺly and physically exhausted.
@oliviaj109 Thank you for your response! So you're not automatically worried about cancer? 😬 I went for a pelvic exam and will be getting a transvaginal ultrasound soon.
Yes! My mom was finished menopause at 43 years old… I am 40 and have been experiencing perimenopausal symptoms like night sweats, irregular periods, forgetfulness and dry skin for at least the last 6 years. Early menopause usually runs in the family…
I'm in my early 40s and not sure if I have perimenopause. For a while my periods shortened by a lot, then went back to normal. Now I'm waking with night sweats and during the day I get dizzy real quick and that's just sitting down. It feels like low blood sugar and it just hits me. Right now I'm unable to get out of bed because I feel so weak like I haven't ate & this just hit me. I don't normally have this issue
Idk if thats premenopause or not I used to have heavy bleeding and my periods stopped for months. Like had casual spotting here and there for about 8 months. Then my period started again heavy bleeding for few months. Checked with gynaecologist she found mass in my uterus thru internal scan Got my biopsy done and tests were clear it was really small fibroid Then she prescribed hormonal medicine And I got normal periods for next 2 months. Last I got them were in December and now they stopped completely again. Idk if i’m in menopause or premenopause How should I treat that Is that normal or not
I came here to find out if this is normal. I started normal period bleeding for a day, then last night at around 4 am woke up with horrific cramping. I use a menstrual cup that before last month had completely taken away all cramps for years. It was great. Then last month even though I was using it, it was still a bit painful. I had it in yesterday and last night when the cramping woke me up. I got up to go to the bathroom and take some Ibuprofen. I checked it and not a single drop of blood to be seen at all. As bad as the cramps were I expected there to be at least some. Still today no blood but cramping is bad. I am still taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen to help with the constant cramps. 😢
Yes! Constant abdominal cramps along with feeling nauseous all day. Hot then cold. O thought I had the flu or stomach bug, but symptoms haven’t gone away in over a week.
Low minerlas and the low progesterone etc cause increased anxiety but it’s a mineral deficiency not a medication deficiency. Drink nettle infusions we are often low in the calming minerals and we need minerals for hormones too
Testosterone solves this and increases muscle building and confidence. The increased libido helps but that’s not why I take it. What’s amazing is it’s not yet given to women as part of a full triad (E/P/T) though all are important to achieving full HRT that mirrors what we would normally have. It’s not FDA approved for women yet but any compounding pharmacy can craft it at the right concentration for women, which is minimal and applied as a daily cream. You need to see a specialist of course and indicate you have an inability to achieve orgasm (“sexual dysfunction”). You’ll have an annual blood draw demonstrating your total testosterone. The levels given to women are so low it’s a mere fraction of what men have but they have to do a draw to ensure it’s at an acceptable range which is pretty wide. I highly recommend testosterone, it works well and makes a huge difference in reducing anxiety and increasing confidence. We wonder why there are so few women in powerful positions in later life-but having gone through menopause and seeing the landscape of health care and how they have neglected women at this stage of life it makes perfect sense to me!
This video was very informative me and my wife got divorced because she was going through menopause but we still keep in contact and I wanna marry her again
I’ve had one long period and it freaked me out. I’m 35 - and that had been my only symptom. I know that our periods change in our 30s and it’s normal. I hope it’s not related to perimenopause or menopause - it makes me feel scared since I’m so young still but childless. Losing my ability to become a mother scares me.
I am 50 yrs old and definitely am going through so many moods and anxiety is up. I cry suddenly after little pety moments with my husband. I feel bad because I shut down and feel alone in it. He hears me say give me a second...but then it's like he doesn't truly get it. Yet we are talking it through. The flashes, numbness in body and thoughts coming through correctly. It's weird. Dry skin... Smh thx for this I'm not alone
Me too,I I turned 50 in september but iv been experiencing some of these symptoms for over a year now,my mood is horrendous and I can jus flip over small things,I have a 13 year old teen boy and it's a nightmare in my house,teenage boy and menopauseal mum does not go down well
@@jr.6199 well I have just recently gone onto HRT patches it's hard to say if they are taking effect as of yet but other than that I haven't tried anything else,I have only been on a few weeks so far
I'm 48 and I have night sweats and Sudden Heart Palpitations before my menstrual comes on. I've been going through this for a couple of years now. My 40s have been crazy 😢 I just can't wait until this menstruation stops completely. I'm over it 😭 I don't know if anyone else has gone through these problems or is my body just crazy 😂
It's crazy alright it started when I was 39 I'm 40 and the symptoms are terrible and the periods are rollercoaster, I take a new med for sleep and anxiety and depression it helps some , but this period this month like vanished I bled heavy for three months been also low on iron because of these periods, hormones all over the place I can't wait till this is all done with
Just turned 41 last week and my periods are insane !! Heavy and early and so painful. I’m forgetful asf to point I thought I had dementia . I’m moody I’m dry I’m annoyed I’m done
Great video, thanks I am getting severe sickness alongside hot flashes or flashes, arms pain and feel numb, feel like crying as it makes me so sick, if any suggestions around it , any relief , would be grateful
So many symptoms not discussed that are related to peri and post menopause. Oestrogen is an anti-inflammatory hormone so you will find things like joint pain - frozen shoulder - worsening immune disorders - reduced muscle tone and muscle strength - insulin resistance. Anything that’s linked to the immune system can be affected!
Please does severe pelvic pain with burning sensation tenderness, heaviness, pressure and cramp causing discomfort and difficulty to sleep at night be menopausal symptoms, Also can bulge/ lump/cyst in the virgina be cause my menopause
@ Menopause joint pain, also known as menopausal arthralgia is a common symptom of menopause, affecting more than half of women but again can be symptoms of other medical conditions. I’m sorry you’re experiencing such a painful disruption to your life, menopause can be a very rough road to travel. There are online support groups to arm yourself with information and help you navigate your way through because women shouldn’t have to be alone in this.
I won't go for hormone therapy because my moods are very much the same, I'm asexual so I'm more or less the same, libido was never really much. I think this is menopause and a true answer to my prayers, praise the name of Jesus Christ for that grace, hallelujah. Every experience we have in life is a testament of the grace of God and menopause is a true answer to my prayers.
Im 39 and im completely new to all of this so starting at the very beginning (seems I have allot to learn) can anyone direct me to some information regarding types of vitamins etc I need please xx
I'm so sick of everything needing to be medicalized. It's a natural transition and does not need to be medicalized. We don't need antidepressants and we don't need a doctor to let us know if we're ok because the truth is, doctors are always going to find something or offer something. So much idolatry of medicine. We're just going through a physical change for which God has accounted.
God ain’t saving me from this misery! Can’t just pray perimenopause away either, so please keep your religious bs to yourself. Sincerely, someone living in reality ☮️
I started perimenopause at 37 had premature ovarian failure periods were absent I definitely think taking birth control many year's could've contributed to my hormonal imbalance and ovulating issues our bodies weren't meant to be taking different drugs and medications daily altering it's normal functions 😊
Shes a minimizer. She has No clue what it's like to be drenched in sweat and woken up every 2 hours when you're trying to sleep. Who cares what her husband says??
I'm 42 and it came a week early. And for 3 days before it started I spotted brown and now that it's over I'm spotting again. Have you experienced the spotting before too?
What if you don’t have a family doctor, timely access to a gynecologist, and have a gene mutation that causes blood clotting so that hormone therapy isn’t option?
Drugs are not the only thing. Wellness mindfulness. Yoga gym walking massages swimming breathing and stretching exercise and change in diet and a good supplement
As an ex occultist & yoga instructor please seek the Lord, normal stretching & stay the heck away from Yoga. Listen to testimonies on here like from Naela Rose. 🙏🏽🤍
Great response. The Lord warned me about yoga years ago when it was really taking off in the US among even Christians. Unfortunately most don’t care about the dangers until they start to realize they are giving demonic spirits access to them. It will backfire to mess with anything linked to the occult or idol worship
I am 46 and noticed my periods have been wonky for about a year , sometimes i am very regular then i will go like 2 months without a period , like off and on and noticed mild hot flashes just running warmer than usual and more frequent UTI's which the doctor said my age is expected.
My periods have been wonky my whole life. Once I went SIX months without a period (I didn't miss them!), and sometimes I'll go a fortnight without them and then they'll be back! I'm 40 now and I'm still teaching myself about perimenopause so I can be reasonably prepared, hopefully.
I’m 36 & experiencing peri. It’s been going on for a number of years… It’s horribly debilitating. Especially for those experiencing it early on when we have little ones running around and are trying to work/raise a family. Husbands just don’t understand and it isn’t talked about enough. It took me a solid 5 years and 12 doctors to figure out what was happening with my body. We need more awareness and better support in women’s health.
I’m 36 suffering from vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation 🥺 an constant BV. Mood swings, hot flashes night sweats the list goes on 😩. An no period for 3 months 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Anyone have any advice?
I take a new med called trazadone small dose it's helps with sleep anixety and depression whole going through the change The night sweats hot flashes up and down hormones are terrible period like a Rolla coaster, I don't know if that med will help but it is successful for a lot of people,
Please look for Menopearl. Those are natural pills that helped me in all this nightmare. I am 42 now and i had and still have the full version of symptoms. The most of everything i tryed is Menopearl . Before i found these supplements i even had 2 sessions of laser procedures for vaginal rejuvenation with Fotona Laser , which helps the collagen and hialuronic acid sinteze. I am so lucky that my gynecologist is a very very well trained doctor willing to help and knowledgeable in this so difficult spectrum. I live in Romania , we have many many plants based traditions here and a huge natural shop and that is something that helps me avoid the hormonal substitute which I do not agree with due to so many side effects. Please feel free to ask me anything you need maybe i can help you telling about herbs and natural remedies for your so uncomfortable moments you have now. And anyone who can read me , girls please try Acupuncture!!! That’s working absolutely magical for every single peri symptom! Go search for a good acupuncturist who knows what he/she is doing and you will get your life back🙏 that is what i did🤩 God bless us all🙏
I am not sure, I am 41 with regular cycles. I just dont know what to look for other then that. And I do have a high stress job. So I mean sleep disturbance is the name of the game for me. I do yoga to help me put work aside.. and it helps. I just want to be prepared for that time of my life. So already supplementing with collagen, multivitamins, vitamin e, d. My mother was menopausal at 40, so I guess it is not far away from me now.
I'm 33 have mood swings depression my period is 12 days late was irregular when I was 27 years I have had hot flashes last yr .Wondering I'm getting hot at night when it's cold
Okay I'm getting very upset reading some of these comments saying about menopause and God is doing this, so am I to understand that God punishes women with all this menopause illness and discomfort? For what reason or purpose? If God wants to punish women then why were women created? To suffer? You can keep your judeo-christian god who punishes women with menopause and any other god that you think is doing it because the whole thought process is disgusting. Keep your "Eve's Curse" too. Sounds like religion is gaslighting women everywhere. ☮️
@sasha48189 I'm so sorry to hear! My mum has fibroids too so I'm wondering if my symptoms are related to the same. This cycle my period was a week early and 2 days shorter than normal plus I've had brown spotting before and after my period. Like WHAT?! I've always been super regular with my period and ive never spotted. Have you dealt with any of those things too?
@@westcoastlass how old are you, I didn’t start having symptoms until 45, when I turned 46, it went Downhill for me now I have get a procedure done because they saw some Abnormal cells in my Uterus I’m so scared have to wait for my results I’m really scared out of my mind can’t stop worrying I don’t know what’s going to happen to me I’m so terrified
@sasha48189 I'm 42. May I ask how they found the abnormal cells? I had a pelvic exam done and waiting for a vaginal ultrasound. Medical technology is so advanced now it's incredible what they can do! There are so many different procedures that are so mainstream now that women can get to help us. I understand the fear though! This irregularity has been seriously stressing me out. Can I ask what your symptoms have been?
Idk. My left part of my body feels tingly. I'm assuming I have nerve problems. Or I'm just really fat now. Idk enough about cold flashes. But it's like a short moment. And around my shoulders. So I'm assuming it's not a normal thing. And fr, a possible spiritual thing. Bc I def don't get them all the time. Or I never get em
Sufficient vitamins supplements can reduce those symptoms to none. And also believe in God and always have a cheerful thankful attitude is good for peri menopause.
So much needs to be discussed, it’s NOT JUST HOT FLASHES. There’s severe anxiety, chest pain, arm pain etc… and most drs do not understand hrt, but are reeeeal happy to give you antidepressants.
Do u have arm pain or armpit pain?
thanks for this, it hurts so bad
Don’t forget all the stupid electrical shocks randomly shooting through random parts of your body, especially the abdominal area. I hate it. Why do we have to go through all of this for the majority of our lives? That’s something I’m asking Jesus when I die.

I noticed a sudden drop in motivationat age 40 so I've put on weight from stopping exercise completely. Cannot for the life of me get back on the horse, so to speak. I used to work out 5 days a week. Found Dr. Marie Claire Haver recently, been reading and watching her stuff, and started the Galveston diet. Just 1 week into taking anti-inflammatory supplements and a diet change, and I can see aging reverse and feel my mental health improve.
I am 44 will be 45 in August and I have been having hot flashes and horrible night sweats and crying for no reason and it started all the sudden like 3 weeks ago. I'm so glad I found found these videos to help explain what I already figured is going on with me. I just started taking black cohosh to help regulate hot flashes and it seems to help, I hope it will help with the night sweats so I can sleep better, its crazy I don't feel old enough to go through this but my body reminds me every day that it's getting older lol.
Loss of libido, loss of desire for affection, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, dry / itchy skin, pelvic pain, irritability, touch avoidant, weight gain, anxiety, depression, self image issues, etc....
I have ALL of those things...

I'm so glad this is being discussed. Im 41 and found out last year this is what I was going through. Had no idea this was a thing. No women in my family ever talked about perimenopause. I felt blindsided by this. Thank you for bringing this to light. This needs to be talked about more.

Absolutely!
@@hereiam2942 if you suffered through what most of us have you’d understand why HRT is incredibly important.
My gynecologist told me I was going to have a mental breakdown. I was like, no shi$, Sherlock. It's horrible! Mood swings (out of control), anxiety with shortness of breath, night sweats, brain fog, feeling absolutely crazy because I couldn't string a sentence together and feel like I'm in slow motion. I feel like I am in a trance sometimes just staring out into space. Bleeding for days on end. I am also constantly overwhelmed by the smallest things. A hair on the floor, dishes that need unloaded out of the dishwasher can send me into a crying spell with the mindset that I just can't do it, it feels like too much all at once.
It's so fun being a woman. Lol

@@paulmuaddib3470 Won't make eye contact? She might be ashamed about something, maybe because she knows she is acting unloving to you (and others). She's probably being eaten up by guilt.
I don't know. She needs to know that she's not going insane and that you aren't going to abandon her. That's sweet to mention she's your best friend. Maybe give her a card saying something to the effect of, "You're my best friend. I believe in you and hope you have a beautiful day!" Don't say ANYTHING like, "I love you even though you are always moody." In fact, I wouldn't even let her know you can tell she's struggling. May the only thing she thinks is, "This man thinks I'm queen of the world and that we are a perfect fit!" Once her self esteem has been boosted long enough, she might soften up and share her heart with you and lay it all out.

I’m in my early 40s and I’m having terrible anxiety heart palpitations.. it’s awful! I just got off birth control and my symptoms have become more severe. I exercise and I’m eating healthier.. I gained over 45 lbs! Doctor put me on Xanax but I refuse to take it because of the side effects… I’m still getting my period and have awful heart flashes. I’m praying to God doctors can find a proper solution for me! I can deal with so much except for anxiety and palpitations.. it’s one of the worse feelings EVER!

Yes😅😅
This!!! Lol
Lol i had to stay inside today
Wild that we are talking about this like it’s new. It’s been going on since the beginning but just goes to show that women need way more/better medical research which has clearly been neglected.
I’m 33, last year my cycle came and stayed for 7 months. There were like 15 days where I wasn’t bleeding. My gyn was concerned but all testing came back negative. Got hot flashes, mood swings, and other changes. Now my cycle is on/off. Can’t say for certain this is peri, but also can’t think of anything else it could be. All I know is it’s taking a toll on me both mentally and physically.
Yes
I'm 40 and it started for me fully last year at 39, the symptoms are not pleasant, doc says it's menapause I had my period the next month my periods are a rollercoaster and so are the symptoms smh , I take a new med to help with some of the symptoms, but I'm premenopausal, you are not alone in this , it will and can get better the question is when
I’m also 33 and I’ve had the night sweats on and off since I was 30 🙈 my doctor wouldn’t even test me at all but it’s interesting that you say it didn’t show up in tests. Maybe mine wouldn’t either. 🙈🙈🙈 I’ve got dry skin and the mood swings and my cycle is changing, I can get it twice in a month being around other women and now this month it was barely even there and only lasted 3 days 🙈
We need so much more education and testing on this subject
What about awful headaches? Joint pain? Fatigue? Cravings? Weight gain? Those are my mine!
looking back now, I started perimenopause at 36. now going on 40, these symptoms are just gearing up. How wonderful🫠
My symptoms are abdominal cramps along with nausea, and feeling hot then cold. Almost like I have the flu. It really sucks.
Itchy skin, dizziness, moods
This Doctor needs to be retrained because the first symptoms vary, my first symptom was vitamin D deficiency, joint swelling, joint pain, heart palpitations etc I suffered until I educated myself because every Doctor I saw gaslit me and severely failed their oath to do no harm.
40yo here. Tubal at 27 and starting seeing changes in my cycle in 2013. Here are my symptoms right now that turn up when I’m ovulating or about to be visited by Flo:
Hot flashes
Cold flashes
Lower back ache
Neck ache
Nausea after eating
Electric shocks in head followed by hot flash
Night sweats
Insomnia
Heartburn
Vertigo (this one is bad)
Burping
Hope this helps y’all! I won’t do HRT because perimenopause is natural and I don’t want to put anything synthetic in my body that may confuse it. The silver lining is that, for me at least, these symptoms aren’t all at once and only for a few days a month.
If one has similar situation (age 38) can they try to get pregnant or that is very risky?
@@TH-camuseritis I am not a doctor, but I’d imagine if you’re going through these symptoms, your reproductive window is small.
@@TH-camuseritis it may not be possible to conceive naturally if you're going through this.
Something isn’t bad just because not “natural.” Heart attacks are natural. Death is natural. HRT for many people can potentially extend their lifespan and decrease risks for things such as cardiovascular disease in women.
@@GW-gz8jh I didn’t chastise anybody using HRT, I just said I won’t. That’s a personal choice. Perimenopause symptoms are survivable, many women went through it before HRT was even a thing. Botulism can happen naturally from wound or food contamination, but I wouldn’t put Botox in my face even if it does have FDA approval.

Menopause is the worst .
Extremely heavy bleeding and massive blood clots. No sleep at night because I have to change every hour. It's depressing 😢
Same! The clotting is unreal and the flow has dramatically increased. Hope you feel some relief soon 😊
I’m 49 and I’m experiencing this as I type. My cycle has been inconsistent since November. I didn’t have one. December it started spotting on the 12. Spotted ip until the 31st and now as of January 2025. It’s been bleeding heavy and passing blood clots everyday. It is getting overwhelming.
If you’re in midlife and you feel your life is crashing all around you -that is perimenopause. Free fall, ready to abandon your career, marriage and children-that is perimenopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, forgetting things are the obvious ones but really it’s a lot more and can be utterly debilitating. HRT works. Your doctor will probably try antidepressants or anti anxiety meds but that is not the answer if your hormones are low or simply gone. “Dressing in layers” is utter baloney by the way. HRT ensures the hormones you need are replaced so you can return to a normal balance and it works. It also prevents serious health issues as you age. Being without hormones isn’t necessary or normal for people who far outlive their reproductive years.
Is being overly sensitive a symptom? Because I’ve always been non-chalant. Now I find myself worrying about how someone feels about me. Or, being left out. I NEVER cared about being left out…..
I feel soooo strange
The feeling of menopause is like having a mental breakdown with mental health
Unfortunately many younger women and lower income women are not getting treated with sensitivity. They are either too young , something else is going on,or it's just stress. And believe me one problem exacerbates the other and it's a never ending cycle. You can have all the symptoms but if the hormones aren't off the charts it's ok. We need to get real serious about women's real health issues because women are taking care of their children! Children are our future. Thank you.
This just sounds like my everyday life since forever
Why is abdominal pain and constipation frequent with piermenopause? Makes me think I have colon cancer or stomach cancer 😢
Go to the dr I’m praying for you
I have tummy pain too and back pain very achy I think it's all part of it

by 2024 am 50🥰I dont know why am so excited bout it…the symtoms not yet there at the moment😬
Why is everyone so vague. Us women can tell you what the symptoms are and irregular periods are like the last concern honestly!!!
By me reading some of the comments on here some of you need to get checked for fibroids. You might have them if you are in your 30s or even 40s. Get an MRI its the best thing to do to see if you have fibroids or most of you are hitting premenopause. FIBROIDS are not talked about very often.
I do believe alot of our problems are our diets, bad habits, the company we keep lifestyle change is very important not just the outside but the inside of us im going to start fasting and get myself together vecause tgis isnt fun at all
Im struggling through menopause alone, and there is not a lot of support where I live.
43 and currently being on cycle 🔃 for over 2 months stoping one day bleeding 🩸 heavily for days the next stops and starts all over again

@@Tabatha2468 this is what I been going threw since January
I eat all natural foods at home.

The problem is, when you go out to eat, you won't get all these foods.. You'll get unhealthy food.. So, you've got to be really choosy. I try getting as much sleep as possible. Some days are better than others. Exercise??? Same thing. It depends on my energy levels. You see, I have chronic pain issues. I am a hydrocephalus patient and I also have spasticity in my legs. So, I can't do strenuous exerciseing. Each of us is different.

I felt like I'm busy losing my mind on the 1st of January this year. I've been suffering from depression, anxiety and ptsd since after the birth of my son, but I had the worst anxiety/ panic attacks on New Years day.
It was the longest day, because I stopped using my anti anxiety meds, but yoooh I almost committed suicide.
I couldn't sleep, eat, i just drank tons of water and kept busy, until I couldnt stand on my feet again.
I thought I will definitely end up in a psych ward, but God helped me and the next day i called my psychiatrist to write me script for my anxiety.
I'm much better, hot flashes is also less, i just suffer from extreme fatigue because I don't get into a deep sleep.
So I'm mentaĺly and physically exhausted.
Can you get pregnant (first time) at 38 when you have low estrogen and menopausal symptoms.
As far as I know, you definitely can get pregnant as long as you still have your monthly periods! I stand to be corrected...
Is it normal to spot brown before and after periods? My period used to be 5-6 days but this last period last about 4 days. Im 42.
@oliviaj109 Thank you for your response! So you're not automatically worried about cancer? 😬 I went for a pelvic exam and will be getting a transvaginal ultrasound soon.

Yes brown spotting both before and after is normal. It's the body regulating the slow down to eventually end menses entirely.

Now I'm waking with night sweats and during the day I get dizzy real quick and that's just sitting down. It feels like low blood sugar and it just hits me. Right now I'm unable to get out of bed because I feel so weak like I haven't ate & this just hit me. I don't normally have this issue
Idk if thats premenopause or not
I used to have heavy bleeding and my periods stopped for months. Like had casual spotting here and there for about 8 months.
Then my period started again heavy bleeding for few months.
Checked with gynaecologist she found mass in my uterus thru internal scan
Got my biopsy done and tests were clear it was really small fibroid
Then she prescribed hormonal medicine
And I got normal periods for next 2 months. Last I got them were in December and now they stopped completely again.
Idk if i’m in menopause or premenopause
How should I treat that
Is that normal or not
Does anyone else have moderate, constant lower abdominal cramps??
Yes, pain in bladder and back
Feels like period pains for 2 years but no periods
I came here to find out if this is normal. I started normal period bleeding for a day, then last night at around 4 am woke up with horrific cramping. I use a menstrual cup that before last month had completely taken away all cramps for years. It was great. Then last month even though I was using it, it was still a bit painful. I had it in yesterday and last night when the cramping woke me up. I got up to go to the bathroom and take some Ibuprofen. I checked it and not a single drop of blood to be seen at all. As bad as the cramps were I expected there to be at least some. Still today no blood but cramping is bad. I am still taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen to help with the constant cramps. 😢
Yes! Constant abdominal cramps along with feeling nauseous all day. Hot then cold. O thought I had the flu or stomach bug, but symptoms haven’t gone away in over a week.

@@lucyboyajian1624 My period started again and is regular. Thank for for His miracles.
I'm 40. I'll add anxiety to her list of symptoms. This stinks.
Low minerlas and the low progesterone etc cause increased anxiety but it’s a mineral deficiency not a medication deficiency. Drink nettle infusions we are often low in the calming minerals and we need minerals for hormones too
Testosterone solves this and increases muscle building and confidence. The increased libido helps but that’s not why I take it. What’s amazing is it’s not yet given to women as part of a full triad (E/P/T) though all are important to achieving full HRT that mirrors what we would normally have. It’s not FDA approved for women yet but any compounding pharmacy can craft it at the right concentration for women, which is minimal and applied as a daily cream. You need to see a specialist of course and indicate you have an inability to achieve orgasm (“sexual dysfunction”). You’ll have an annual blood draw demonstrating your total testosterone. The levels given to women are so low it’s a mere fraction of what men have but they have to do a draw to ensure it’s at an acceptable range which is pretty wide. I highly recommend testosterone, it works well and makes a huge difference in reducing anxiety and increasing confidence. We wonder why there are so few women in powerful positions in later life-but having gone through menopause and seeing the landscape of health care and how they have neglected women at this stage of life it makes perfect sense to me!
This video was very informative me and my wife got divorced because she was going through menopause but we still keep in contact and I wanna marry her again
I'm getting migraines that time of the month followed by foggy brain, dizziness, constipation. I'm getting checked next month.
I’ve had one long period and it freaked me out. I’m 35 - and that had been my only symptom. I know that our periods change in our 30s and it’s normal. I hope it’s not related to perimenopause or menopause - it makes me feel scared since I’m so young still but childless. Losing my ability to become a mother scares me.

So many symptoms not discussed that are related to peri and post menopause.
Oestrogen is an anti-inflammatory hormone so you will find things like joint pain - frozen shoulder - worsening immune disorders - reduced muscle tone and muscle strength - insulin resistance. Anything that’s linked to the immune system can be affected!
Please does severe pelvic pain with burning sensation tenderness, heaviness, pressure and cramp causing discomfort and difficulty to sleep at night be menopausal symptoms, Also can bulge/ lump/cyst in the virgina be cause my menopause
@ Yes absolutely, but they can also be symptom’s of other things. Regardless a trip to your doctor to discuss this is very important.
I experience pain in all my joints and bone simultaneously
@ Menopause joint pain, also known as menopausal arthralgia is a common symptom of menopause, affecting more than half of women but again can be symptoms of other medical conditions. I’m sorry you’re experiencing such a painful disruption to your life, menopause can be a very rough road to travel.
There are online support groups to arm yourself with information and help you navigate your way through because women shouldn’t have to be alone in this.
I was a mess from my mid 30's to age 45 when I finally quit having periods.
I won't go for hormone therapy because my moods are very much the same, I'm asexual so I'm more or less the same, libido was never really much. I think this is menopause and a true answer to my prayers, praise the name of Jesus Christ for that grace, hallelujah. Every experience we have in life is a testament of the grace of God and menopause is a true answer to my prayers.
Hormone therapy does more than just improve moods

How is your cycle? Right now I’ve been spotting for 4 days now. And wondering what’s going on. My cycle does suppose to come on soon.
38 and maybe going through this.
I’m 36 & experiencing peri. It’s been going on for a number of years… It’s horribly debilitating. Especially for those experiencing it early on when we have little ones running around and are trying to work/raise a family. Husbands just don’t understand and it isn’t talked about enough. It took me a solid 5 years and 12 doctors to figure out what was happening with my body. We need more awareness and better support in women’s health.
I’m 32 and having these problems 😳🤦🏼♀️
Anyone read the book estrogen matters???
Hi ladies…. Im here 😢🤷🏽♀️. Really going through it
I’m 36 suffering from vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation 🥺 an constant BV. Mood swings, hot flashes night sweats the list goes on 😩. An no period for 3 months 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Anyone have any advice?
I take a new med called trazadone small dose it's helps with sleep anixety and depression whole going through the change
The night sweats hot flashes up and down hormones are terrible period like a Rolla coaster, I don't know if that med will help but it is successful for a lot of people,
Please look for Menopearl. Those are natural pills that helped me in all this nightmare. I am 42 now and i had and still have the full version of symptoms. The most of everything i tryed is Menopearl . Before i found these supplements i even had 2 sessions of laser procedures for vaginal rejuvenation with Fotona Laser , which helps the collagen and hialuronic acid sinteze. I am so lucky that my gynecologist is a very very well trained doctor willing to help and knowledgeable in this so difficult spectrum. I live in Romania , we have many many plants based traditions here and a huge natural shop and that is something that helps me avoid the hormonal substitute which I do not agree with due to so many side effects. Please feel free to ask me anything you need maybe i can help you telling about herbs and natural remedies for your so uncomfortable moments you have now. And anyone who can read me , girls please try Acupuncture!!! That’s working absolutely magical for every single peri symptom! Go search for a good acupuncturist who knows what he/she is doing and you will get your life back🙏 that is what i did🤩 God bless us all🙏
I'm having heavy periods close together does that mean I'm not ovulating?
I am not sure, I am 41 with regular cycles. I just dont know what to look for other then that. And I do have a high stress job. So I mean sleep disturbance is the name of the game for me. I do yoga to help me put work aside.. and it helps. I just want to be prepared for that time of my life. So already supplementing with collagen, multivitamins, vitamin e, d. My mother was menopausal at 40, so I guess it is not far away from me now.
Medication for depression is usually recommended
always not the real fix
I'm 33 have mood swings depression my period is 12 days late was irregular when I was 27 years I have had hot flashes last yr .Wondering I'm getting hot at night when it's cold
Okay I'm getting very upset reading some of these comments saying about menopause and God is doing this, so am I to understand that God punishes women with all this menopause illness and discomfort? For what reason or purpose? If God wants to punish women then why were women created? To suffer? You can keep your judeo-christian god who punishes women with menopause and any other god that you think is doing it because the whole thought process is disgusting. Keep your "Eve's Curse" too. Sounds like religion is gaslighting women everywhere. ☮️
I'm dealing with this now and it has been horrible.
Ty for posting I'm 47 and have night sweats...have had hot flashes since I was 45
I can relate to this at 46,yrs old I feel drained and doomed,,
Ditto
It can be uncomfortable?!?! 😆 I've heard it's more than just "uncomfortable " 😂😂😂
yes total understatement
This is me at 46 I feel horrible,,
When did it start for you?
@@westcoastlass 44 now at 46 I feel horrible and have problems with fibroids
@sasha48189 I'm so sorry to hear! My mum has fibroids too so I'm wondering if my symptoms are related to the same. This cycle my period was a week early and 2 days shorter than normal plus I've had brown spotting before and after my period. Like WHAT?! I've always been super regular with my period and ive never spotted. Have you dealt with any of those things too?
@@westcoastlass how old are you, I didn’t start having symptoms until 45, when I turned 46, it went Downhill for me now I have get a procedure done because they saw some Abnormal cells in my Uterus I’m so scared have to wait for my results I’m really scared out of my mind can’t stop worrying I don’t know what’s going to happen to me I’m so terrified
@sasha48189 I'm 42. May I ask how they found the abnormal cells? I had a pelvic exam done and waiting for a vaginal ultrasound. Medical technology is so advanced now it's incredible what they can do! There are so many different procedures that are so mainstream now that women can get to help us. I understand the fear though! This irregularity has been seriously stressing me out. Can I ask what your symptoms have been?
I guess I am lucky. I have no symptoms and I am 45.
Please someone should help me, by explaining to me how the hot or cold flashes is like in the body.
Idk. My left part of my body feels tingly. I'm assuming I have nerve problems. Or I'm just really fat now. Idk enough about cold flashes. But it's like a short moment. And around my shoulders. So I'm assuming it's not a normal thing. And fr, a possible spiritual thing. Bc I def don't get them all the time. Or I never get em
You feel hot on the inside, but your skin feels cool, and you get goose bumps like when you get cold. Such a weird feeling.
I’m 35 and burning up!!
I suffer almost all the symptoms of perimenupusal, it feel mi sick everyday i experienced sa symptoms
I’m 44 I’m so DIZZY and have a Prolapse NOW !! I’m SCARED!! SCARY
Look into adrenal support supplements with adaptogens like ashwaganda. Adrenals have to kick in when ovaries start quitting
Please does anyone else have nausea I'm constantly nauseous stomach makes noise my doctors gave me escitalopram and famotadine
Sufficient vitamins supplements can reduce those symptoms to none. And also believe in God and always have a cheerful thankful attitude is good for peri menopause.
