Hi JillM.
Sorry you're feeling so crap, we know what that feels like. Unfortunately.
Everything you've got sounds like the good old meno symptoms, and the leg thing sounds like
restless leg syndrome? I get that, feels like my leg muscles are still moving, or want to move even when resting. It's not nice, but maybe take some paracetamol? I've found that helps sometimes.
When I was in peri, all I had was hot flushes, then when I became post meno, it got worse, all the symptoms under the sun, strange feelings, palps, anxiety,( which was the worse,)headaches, you name it, just horrendous.
The only thing about the swallowing I can think of is, maybe you get a lot of saliva build up?
I get that, and have to keep swallowing all the time, in fact, someone else posted about it the other day, sometimes it wakes me up, it is a nuisance, but I haven't found anything to clear it yet, it just settles on it's own.
As for convincing yourself you've got some incurable disease, we nearly all do that, is not nice either,
but all I can advise for that is don't google, and try and keep busy, like you're doing, keep your mind off it, hard I know, but hopefully, you're be able to get sorted out soon at the docs.
Hang on in there, hope this helps..😉
