Hi! Been having medical circumstances and been trying to figure out what’s going on. I went to emergency room with substantial concerns and have been trying to figure out what’s going on for a couple weeks.

Symptoms have been chalked up to hashimotos, menopause, perimenopause. Just came across serotonin syndrome and it all clicked.

ER said thyroid storm, went to endocrinologist, they said i do not have a thyroid disorder. Endocrinologist ran labs, labs had high white blood count and really high estrogen.

I heard about high estrogen (perimenopause and or menopause caused) can cause increased sensitivity to serotonin. On the serotonin syndrome scales i have seen, i qualified for the severe level of the syndrome when i went to the Er. I started to feel better when i accidentally missed a dose of the Vyvanse Prozac and propranolol i take daily cause i was recovering from the hospital. Since then, i have spoken to my med provider and we have lessened the amount of serotonin in my system a lot, and i feel more myself. But, some of the effects are long lasting and wont go away- some insomnia, very dry mouth, sometimes mouth watering, muscle twitches, interval muscle twitches, extreme temperature variability, shivering even though i am not cold, mental fog around midday, high anxiety, forgetfulness, brain fog, heavy eyes, substantial tiredness and body pain and ache, also feeling like i am always fighting off some sort of cold or ear infection. Also weirdly increase of acne. Hot flashes a lot, and more clumsiness. Weird issues with hunger weight gain and also lots. Hard time catching breath, air hunger. Also feeling hard to swallow. Lots of other weird things like heavy lead legs and feeling really tumbly. And my eyes feel so weird, heavy and hard to keep open but also hard to focus. I feel like i am sometimes “really aware that i have eyes”.

Anything helps as i try to unravel what’s going on and feel more normal in my body.
