Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Please someone tell me if they feel a vibrating feeling inside your body. I notice it at times during the day but mostly at night. It seems I fall asleep fine then something wakes me and the vibrating througout the night is driving me insane.
I am 53 and for the past 4 yrs on and off menopause has been my worst nightmare! It used to be migraines, anxiety, uncontrollable crying.
Those symptoms are better, now its the vibrating , low blood sugar,
Fatigue! I was on vivelle for 3 yrs now i am on divigel .1mg
Will I ever me able to be without hormones?
I remembered that this website really helped me during a rough patch. The women here are awesome so supportive!

Hi Mona. Well, I haven't had it throughout my whole body, but I do feel it in my legs or sort of on my side - I often think it is my phone vibrating, but turns out to be me!!!! :) I've heard this many times before actually - so strange! I'm woken at least 3 times a night sweating, jumping legs, etc, but not the vibrating - so far! Hang in there! :)

Yes, all the time. Anxiety makes it worse, but I have inner vibrations primarily when lying down or waking.
I'm just 49 and my hormones are fluctuating still. I even have calf twitching and have been to a neurologist twice and had EMG and nerve study done just to be sure it was nothing else.

Inner vibrations are very common - as you will find with a search. Anxiety increases that a lot!

Hi Mona. I didn't have vibrations but had occasional shakiness in the mornings as if I had low blood sugar (never checked it though). But that was minor compared to the many debilitating symptoms after an unwarranted hysterectomy. The patch did not work well at all for me...never tried Divigel. Do you like the gel better?

I have the internal vibrations. It has been the worst symptom. They are much better today but I take medication that helps...Gabapentin. There is a great post you should look for...I think the headline is Perimenopuse and Internal Vibrations. Alot of women posted and good info. Anxiety does make mine go off the charts. It is a horrible feeling. Hang in there. They will lighten up as you journey thru Post. Take Care, Deny

This was me two years ago. It was horrible, to say the least. I am much better today. I am still on Celexa, however i no longer need Ativan. The depression almost killed me. The internal tremors and head zaps had me in the ER 3 times and to various doctors. I had every test done looking for a diagnosis. I finally could not take it anymore and had hormone replacement therapy. This website and these women on here saved my life!!!!

Yup. It used to just happen before my period, but now happens randomly. Last night was a good example. I woke about an hour after falling asleep. My body then remained tense, and "vibraty" for the next four hours.

I'm only on bioidentical progesterone, and herbs. I still have the occasional, random period.

I really like divigel much better than vivelle, it seems as if my body was not absorbing it through the patch.

Does anybody know anything about adrenal glands? how do they play a role with hormones we produce? how do I get my adrenal gland tested? would my regular Dr. do it?

fighting4change 10/21/2015

Mona - Glad to hear the Divigel is working much better! Do you also take progesterone?

It seems that most doctors don't recognize an adrenal problem unless they think you are at either end of the spectrum - either Cushing's or Addison's. Cortisol testing can be helpful but more specific and cumbersome tests are usually needed. Have you already had your thyroid checked? It is hard to know how much is ovarian vs. adrenal vs. thyroid!!

I didn't realize but I get slight vibrations in my body. What causes this?

kbr0632 10/29/2015

OMG...I get vibrations too..as if my cell phone is on me and is vibrating..but there is no cell phone on me. I will be sitting watching TV and will get these random vibrations wherever. Cool. I feel like I found a group where I can belong.

yes, it happens. Like a bee buzzing around inside.

Mona, you can try natural supplements with vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Macafem for example, nourish your endocrine system and is working very good for me
