About Sandallia

I am very aware of how I am feeling but people most of my life liked to assume it was all "in my head" or just nerves. I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II in 2000 after being treated mistakenly for depression for at least a year. I knew something was wrong with me since, at least, the fifth grade. Anyway, I take a # of medications. I began menopause early, 43 and I am 44 now. I have had odd symptoms for which the docs seem to be stumped over and sometimes look at me like "it must be in your head or a med issue". I am a veteran so go to the VA hospital for all except teeth.

More About Sandallia

So here is a list of odd symptoms that I don't know if they are normal or not.  1. When menopause started the calcium in some of my front top teeth began to eat away and I feel very self conscious about how "hillbilly" I think I look.  2. I have the sensation of water droplets on my legs and actually felt a very cold spot on a blood vein in my leg today at the onsaught of the droplet feeling. After a few min. it went away.  3. I have more than just "hot flashes" they sometimes last a whole day. I have little neurological (I think) pinches on my scalp, legs, arms and abs.  4. I have been taking Medimucil at the suggestion from my doctor which hasn't seemed to help my stomach issues even after a CT Scan of my ab area.  5. The Scan found smalls cysts on my liver, kidneys, an ovarian cyst the size of my ovary and a small benign tumor in my uterious.  6. Finally, my arms feel like they need pressure to wake them up though I never feel the "pins and needles" or muscle weakness as if they have fallen asleep.
