Hang in there, Debbi and Gina. A few days ago I came across the discussion here where someone posted a link to power-surge.com (for menopause and perimenopause) and since then I've become fascinated by the message boards there. I almost want to laugh while crying when I read post after post detailing symptoms I've been silently struggling with for years. Like you, Debbi, I tend to get on the internet and scare myself with information of various diseases. From now on, I'm going to go to those boards first, because just about everything I go through is listed there and I know I'm not alone, I don't have to be afraid, and this will eventually pass. I'm so sorry your husbands aren't supporting you through this time, but there is support for you in other places (like here). I guess it's easy for men who don't have to go through such hormonal torment to think it's all in our minds.

Thanks Gina for your understanding. Today I am convinced I have cervical cancer because I had some spotting and increased mucus!! I have to stay off that internet. My body is changing through, I have always had a rough time with my periods and I think this early perimenopause is going to be hell! I wish I could just stop thinking about myself and my health, its a terrible way to live thinking you are going to die young of a horrible illness. But we will make it Gina I know we will!!

Does anyone else ever feel like they just cannot go on like the way they feel one more day. I am so tired of everyday feeling sick and panicky. I am in perimenopause and I am so afraid of it, it seems to have magnified my PMS so badly! Also I am having a terrible whoosing sound in my ears caused from fluid build up its keeping me awake day and night. I am afraid to go to Doctor's, I get dizzy and faint and have to go back home again, I see a nurse-practioner and a therapist comes to my home {just started that} I am 43 and feel like I am 100, I worry that I am dying, and my period coming is terrible, I am afraid I will never stop bleeding. My husband said "if I had to live like you I would not want to live" he is so disgusted with me he acts like I am doing this on purpose to torment him, when all I want is to be healthy happy and alive again! I have been praying very hard for guidance and help. If anyone has been through this and can help me I would be some grateful. THank-you, Debbi.
