Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Having terrible time with Menopause.

Hi Ladies. Im 52 and have been in this mess with menopause for one year now. Have tried 9 different HRT tablets and am now on my 10th medication which is also not going well.  The main problems for me are Anxiety, insomnia (waking early) and day long sweats with wet body and hair. Then chills are being wet. Im also very depressed unable to work as I try jobs but do not remember how to do what I have been taught. I would like to hear from anyone who has worked out the hot flushing/overheated body thing.  I have read a few of these posts from you ladies and feel very much the same. I feel kinda hopelessly lost and tired of life at present.

I used a natural patch for years but my dr retired and I quit. Wish I could have it back! I am like you mostly but used to it--except for the years using the patch, I had a hysterectomy in 1999. OMG! I'm still dealing with the hot flashes and sweating at odd times. Anxiety is more than it used to be too. I used to cope much easier when on the patch. I guess it is natural to be this way but try to use your mind to keep things in perspective.

I don't think the mind can stop the symptoms of menopause. I'm not sure where the anxiety comes in, but it is debilitating for me. I feel hopelessly lost and so very tired as you do suze1965
