I have many times aching , burning and cramping stomach, with or without anxiety. It feels like before some exam or speaking in public, similar feeling. I heard from other ladies that this is also a common symptom in menopause, but still don't know if anxiety related or organic. I my case it's stronger and more intense when I'm stressed or nervous. Do you have anxiety too?

Yes. The anxiety lately has been worse. I think I really started perimenopause about 7 years ago, so I am hoping (and praying) that I am getting near the end. I also have body aches that have gotten worse lately, but I have fibromyalgia, so I don't know if it is that or a combination of the peri and fibro. No fun lately. I just want to feel better. Are you in peri or meno?

I too have been having stomach problems for the last month and a half. Even had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Everything ok except for a slight candida overgrowth, which i was treated for. Very expensive...no insurance...at times I feel full...gassy...not hungry. I feel depress also...when the anxiety is up stomach worst luke butterflies. Nobody prepared me for peri. Hope this helps. They also found mild reflux/gastritis. I feel I have some symptoms most of the month. Its been 1year plus 7 months. I also get this awful sensation in my body at the time of.my cycle. It is not internal tremors but it feels real scary. I just cant describe it. I should be used to it however still scares me.

I have terrible stomach problems such as: nausea, cramping, fluid retention, and lastly throwing up in the mornings. Had a ultrasound concerning possible gallbladder issues. Everything was fine. Although, I am very depressed, anxiety, anger outbursts, and finally complete isolation within the house for several days at a time. Just feel awful ..........Hoping to have a better week soon. Thanks for your support.

I'm still peri, but since at least 7 years. I'm 47 and I so hope this will be over soon...
