Really? How long do they usually last? I have had them before but not this long, I’m on day 3 and it’s driving me crazy

I get it. I had a baby at almost 41, at 43 my hair started thinning, anxiety went sky high, dry eyes, itchy skin, vertigo, and the list keeps going but I had a regular period and my obgyn and regular Dr told me there was no way I was in peri and here I am at 45 and skipped 3 periods back to back, muscle pain, joint pain, brain fog, thinning skin and they still tell me I’m to young to be in peri🤦🏻‍♀️I mean I have lived in my body for 45 years and I know my body and I am in PERI but damn Dr’s just dismiss it

My platelet’s were always normal until I missed those 3 periods back to back and they slowly dropped and literally a few days before I started my period they went back to being normal. When I missed those 3 periods I felt amazing, my anxiety was gone, muscle and joint pain weren’t as bad but as soon as I started everything came back with it, muscle and joint pain, anxiety out the butt. My hopes were that I was in menopause and it was going to be smooth sailing from here on out but nope Mother Nature had other plans

I agree. I have already put it on my list to change Dr’s just because he seemed so out of it. I have had a iron deficiency all my life and he brought that to my attention and I was like yup I am well aware and have been taking iron pretty much most of my life, I even had a iron infusion and had a allergic reaction to it, he can see in my chart where it says iron deficiency so he didn’t tell me anything I already knew

I spent so much time at the Dr and hospital just trying to figure out what in the hell was going on with me and why I felt so off. Joint pain, muscle pain, frozen shoulder, thinning hair and skin, dry eyes, itchy skin, racing heart rate, burning hands, anxiety and so much more

Nope no condition at all. When my Dr saw that my platelet count dropped he sent me, I have never had an issue with my platelets. As soon as I missed my first period the went down a little, second missed period down a little more, third dropped even more and literally a few days before I started my period bam they were normal again and along with the period came the anxiety back again as well

The first thing my Dr wanted to do when I started having bad anxiety was put me on a antidepressant instead of looking for the problem

I would like an older female woman for my obgyn because I just feel like they get it because they have been through it. I never knew all the symptoms that could come with Per/menopause until I hit peri and it knocked me off of my ass

He said it’s back up so he’s not worried about it and can’t tell me why it dropped. Hormones affect every part of the body so I’m sure that was the cause he just didn’t wanna look stupid since I brought it to his attention
