Feel like my body is broken

Hi all,

I’m 40, last year I had a major flare in anxiety, muscle tension, panic attacks, shaking and fatigue. I also had random burning tongue. I was given sertraline and it all seemed to go away for around 5 months.

In April I had my hormones tested as my cycle is changing to anywhere from 25-27 days with brown spotting for around 5 days before. My fsh was normal but my testosterone was bordering low.

Over the last couple of months I have started getting doms after light things which last for days. Also my palms are itchy.

GP doesn’t seem to want to consider peri because I am 40, but I just do not feel myself. Does this sound like peri?

Your symptoms especially the itchy palms & fatigue, could indicate a liver issue? Maybe full blood tests could be needed.

I had a liver test done 12 months ago inc full blood count etc and all fine.
