leg weekness, wobbly head and eyes

[Anne56]

The last 6 months have been challenging to say the least.  Every test in the book I have been given.  The last is a spinal tap for ms.  I am really scared.  My legs are week and feel disconnected to my body at times.  I also have anxiety attacks even with enjoyable situations.  I walk my dogs in the morning thinking this will help relieve the stress but come back exhausted, weak legs, wobbly head and with little will to continue the day.  The smallest thing can turn me upside down.  This started about two months ago.  My legs started feeling heavy then weak.  Hot flashes, anxiety attacks are more evident at night.  I sometimes can't even see straight and feel nautious.  Now I am at the point were I dread starting the day knowing a long day is ahead of me with little activity I feel comfortable doing.  I love to garden, paint etc....My head gets heavy, legs  weak, eyes don't seem to want to focus right and I end up on the couch or bed.  Yuk!!!  Is this menopause?  Does anybody else have these symptoms and what do you do?  Why do perfectly once enjoyable tasks seem a hardship???

Hi Anne, I searched on line for women who have had similar experiences to me with regard to muscle weakness, neuro symptoms and menopause. Thank you for writing and keeping up with these posts for all of these years. I have so many neuro symptoms that I have been tested for stroke, MS, ALS, blood works and many other specialists. My GYN is not surprised that I have menopause. It has been since June 2014 since my last period and I feel like my body has changed overnight. I started wth dry mouth, dry eyes, dry everything and was dx with Sjogrens syndrome last year. This year, I got slurred speech, neck stiffness and pain, weakness in my hands, weak leg, numb toe and degeneration on my spine in all areas (on an MRI). Hot flashes make my muscles weak and my back pain worse, then it subsides and as I cool down I feel a bit better. My toes are always numb and I wonder if my bones/ligaments are stressed and I need better shoes. My gait is off and I get very tired easily. I've had heavy head and limbs too. This has all been frightening, but none of the doctors want to link it to menopause unless I point it out, even then, they dismiss it. My GYN is supportive, but isnt sure it explains all. I've also had big changes in my body. No more thighs, but bigger belly and waist is thick, so turning makes me feel awkward and numb. I am going to another neuro in Boston just to be sure it is not MS, but really I think this is all menopause! I get physical therapy that will help for a few days. I've had batk problems and joint pain before but never all over my body at once. My PCP Rx Lorazepam and now he doesn't really want to talk about other health issues because he thinks it's all anxiety. My anxiety is wondering what is wrong with me! But reading these posts makes me think it's menopause and that makes sense. I ordered a bunch of books on line to read. If you have any  suggestions, let mek now. Thanks for listening!!

Hello Anne,
I am 48 and I believe I started having issue about 4 years ago.  I started having insomnia, shaky inside and tingling in the head.  September 25, 2014 was the worse.  Driving and just normal functions have been awful.  I have the heavy head feeling that comes and goes constantly,sight is weird, terrible dizzy spells.  My gyno ran blood tests, said low progesterone and T3. He put me on progesterone pill and Armour Thyro.  Have only been on this two days.  I have slept better the last two nights but still head still way off and dizzy and overall just feel like crap.  The doctor said I wasn't perimeno yet but didn't mean I was about to dive off the cliff.  I am sure I am perimeno now and have been for some time.  It has been hard to feel this way when just a week or so ago I was ok.  I work full time so I must keep going.  I am trying to deal with daily issues as they come.  I refuse to let this rule my world.  I will do the best I can to keep normal.  Working is hard as my brain doesn't function as it use to.  I cannot imagine feeling this way for 10 more years!!!!!  At least I know I am not the only one!   Look forward to keeping up with everyone!

Hello Anne56....I just want you to know I have some if not most of these symptoms. I truly feel like my life is just turnd upside down. So I panick and then can't catch  my breath....which leads to me thinking I have ms or heart problems. I am so thankful for your post, it certainly calms me down and makes me realize I'm not Alone. So I want to thank you for your words of wisdom. Knowing there are people out there suffering with the same thing, makes me feel hopeful, we will all be alright.

OMG I just turned 50 and I am so happy I found this site.  You guys have no idea how you made me feel better knowing that the terrible symptoms I have is menopause.  My legs get wobbly, I feel like I will pass out many times, my head gets heavy like it has a ton of water and would explode any minute, something passes over me like I will die and then I panic wondering if its my heart because I have a stent like 8 months now.  Sometime I feel so sick, I can hardly keep my eyes open.  Sometime I just give up but thanks again to you guys for sharing.
