Every month, around 5 days or so before my period, I get the weird symptoms that I can't find any explanation for or anything on the net.
First, I have at least one night where I'm completely itchy for no reason. Of course I can't sleep during it. Another weird maybe symptom is body pain, specifically chest pain, worsening sciatica, and feet pain. Are these pms symptoms? __________________ I might have GAD, depression, pure o ocd, and ptsd.

I have had weird symptoms too in the night, but not itchy. Feel like a truck ran over me during the night when I get up sometimes, increase in lower back pain, no foot pain. I have cramps and heavy period like never before. Thinking it's perimenopause, which you can't find a whole lot about other than that it's horrible and can last for years, but I don't know your age. I have other symptoms too, like the occasional sweats during the night, which have stopped just recently. I would check with your Dr, as I should check with mine, though I do hate the subject matter - approaching thatage.
 It's bad enough that I already have BPII, crippling anxiety that makes me almost totally agoraphobic, and PTSD, plus take meds for all of those, and can't work, and then I get this crap.

Hmm, interesting. I'm only 34 so I haven't considered perimenopause. These weird symptoms started after my last depression relapse when I turned 30. After reading the symptoms of perimenopause

From what I've read of perimenopause these symptoms don't seem to match. Dryness, yes, itching no. have you considered a referral to a neurologist? Some symptoms sound neurological, from various lists I've read.

Have you read about hormonal imbalances and itching? I would consider asking for a referral to an endocrinologist....I hope you are able to get the help you need

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
