Hi,
I'm 53 and I still have periods unfortunately.
Up until January they were regular, now they average 10 days late and I'm living in hell. I'm a different person.
From day 1 to day 22 I'm a wreck: shaking badly everyday, a major anxiety attack everyday, off balance, light headed and bloated stomach and adrenaline surges.
It's hell and I have to take a 0.25 xanax everyday to stop all the above.
From day 22 until when the period starts I feel quite abit better and will only need to take xanax every 3 days or so and those symptoms are not so dreadful.
I tried hrt patches and tablets but I had daily panic attacks.
What is happening after day 22 to make me feel abit better? Am I estrogen dominant? Do I need progesterone?
I need help, I'm struggling to get out of bed in the bad days for work.
My period is starting now and the shakes are horrendous, internal and external. I feel so light headed and agitated.
Any advice please, thank you x
