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.

Hi Ladies, hope that you are all doing well. I have not posted in quite a while. Still experiencing symptoms. Some have gotten better and other are not as frequent but I am still going thru the process. Also like all of you scared out of my mind at times however still trying everyday to find the joy in life.

I'm inviting you all to just post the symptoms that you have experienced or are experiencing. I would like for someone to just access this post just to read different symptoms that we have experienced. Again, if you want to just post the symptoms only. I want this to be a quick reference post. I will start.

Depression and hopelessness.....those are the worst for me. I can handle the achy breasts and headaches but the psychological stuff is the worst in my opinion. I can't even talk to my husband about it, because he wouldn't understand....if one of his siblings felt like this he would try and help them, but with me he will say I'm just complaining....and I'm typically not one to complain about anything...I put up with everyone's quirks and I'm getting tired of it because when I have an issue nobody cares.

Well, started HRT and was feeling better, but now I am on week 4 of heavy bleeding. My doctor told me to give it a few more weeks to level out......I have not had a period before now for 5 years!!

Other than that my symptoms are aches and pains, weight gain, depression, anxiety, no motivation to do anything, and hotflashes.
