Menopause Discussion > Personal Experiences

Really worried about new symptoms

<< < (2/4) > >>

About 8 yrs ago, after I lost a baby mid term, I bled for 4/5 months constantly and I started getting terrible symptoms of buzzing feet, tingling in weird places, a feeling like electric shocks and a dreadful tiredness.  Eventually I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency and had to go onto 3 monthly injections.  a lot of the ladies on this site, discuss very similar symptoms and I really do think that you should ask for a B12 blood test.  If you are low, you will need the injections for the rest of your life.  They are no major deal and they really do get rid of the symptoms.  I feel it may be common in peri, as we lose more blood than usual, like I did at that time, and it may just be the answer... just a thought!!

Thank you all for your replies.  Tingling in feet has subsided now but still have the tingling on tip of my nose.  It feels like someone is brushing a feather over it.  Have an appointment with doc tomorrow so will ask about both magnesium and B12 deficiency.

It is a normal menopause symptom such as  paresthesias (an abnormal sensation, such as numbness, prickling, tingling, and/or heightened sensitivity)

Many menopausal women report a sensation akin to ants crawling over the skin, called 'formication'.

Its all part and parcel of changing hormone levels and menopause.

I have paresthesia of the outer upper right thigh, had it all checked out and is probably due to a mild bulging disc, maybe you could see your doctor and get some tests.

Didn't make doc appointment as had to take daughter somewhere and now can't get another appointment for 2 weeks!!  Having an absolute stinker of a day with symptoms.  Feet tingling like no tomorrow, neck aching and all my joints feel they are burning.  My skin is stinging.  The tingling on nose is back but so is a really sore spot at edge of nostril (have been down to chemist to get cold sore ointment in case that's what it is, but who knows).  I feel really tense and I think all the worrying I'm doing isn't helping.  Can feel the pulses at tips of fingers.  My boobs also feel really stingy too touch, if that makes sense.  It actually feels like my whole system has been poisoned and my nerve ends are jangling!  To top that all off have been in attic looking out holiday clothes (although dont want to go on hols feeling like this) and I've banged my head on door and given myself a headache.  I actually sat and cried for a bit, but more because I felt sorry for myself than for the pain.

Sorry for the rant but even sitting typing makes me feel calmer.

Sounds like adrenaline surges.  When it happens to me my blood feels like hot water running through my veins.  Can you practice deep breathing, it may well slow down your physical symptoms though your brain will keep running

Symptoms can replicate in pregnancy so yours are probably 'within normal limits'.  Keep hydrated, graze if you are able to and rest as much as possible.
